That tiger looks familiar! Wonder if he's the same one i snapped with you guys back in 06?
Like the lioness here too, and the chimps, particularly the first chimp shot. Great expression.

Hi Lance,
These shots are just incredible! I love the first one of the birds. They look like their own little chorus line. LOL
But all of them are really special. Even the lizards and I don't even like lizards.
I don't want that lens, I don't want that lens, I don't want that lens................
Jimbob,
Absolutely post your shots. Who cares if they are similar. I'd love to see what you did with the Bigma. I am sure they are stellar just like everything else you do with the 50-500.

I am sure it is, but this is nowhere near as good as yours.
Thanks again, mate.

Thanks once again, mate.
As they say, you have to be there at the right moment.
The DA*50-135 is a ripper and also worthy of the * rating.

It might be considered as a passable lens.
Thanks, mate.

no worries .. they will eventually be online.I look forward to your other photos of your trip.
today I "amuse" myself with the re/new-installation of my mac(mini): bought a bigger harddisk yesterday, wonna have a fresh new system ... [put in the wrong DVD at first ... but to figure out how to get it out again took me the last hour (no throw-out button on a mac). ... as you can see: 1,5 decades windoze user, allthough only my tablet PC keeps me with M$]
c'ya, mate.

I hope the new machine works well for you.

Hi Lance,
As usual impecable images. I have a soft spot for zoo's, (when not actually shooting animals in the wild). I find myself gravatating there often (to zoo's) as a quiet retreat when there is time to take a short break from the hustle and bustle of the weeks work.
You're truly showing off the virtues of the new DA 300 f4, especially when it's combined with both your photographic technique and post proccessing. I especially love the shots of the various speciies that we don't often get to see in this part of the world (hey I did have a stuffed Koila bear I was facinated with as a kid). Besides the animals themselves, it also interesting to see how the habitats are arranged for the familar species that we have in zoo's here and how it compares. As I mentioned in a past post, it wasn't too long ago our National zoo aquired red panda's..and although they put their enclosure right next the the Panda's from China (due to their proximal geographical habitats in that part of the world)...most visiting though go away assuming they all related in one big Panda "bear" family.
Just starting to put the DA 300 f4 through it paces here...but of course we all wish we were able to get the fantasic purchase price you were accorded by Pentax (well deserved by you of course). I recall it wasn't too long ago I sent you the FA 300 f4.5 (love it's performance and compact size)...how time flies. Thanks for posting the great shots!

Hi Lance,
Of course excellent composition and captures as we expect from you!
A question on the side though,
when I look at these images there definately is a lot of sharpness in that lens, however..... they don't have the normal FA* OOF rendering that I'm used to with the older 'ed lenses. Is that just me or do you share the feeling that the lens lacks the rendering I (and you) have become to love so much?
Wonder what your thoughts are here!

Wow, a picture is worth a thousand words. There is so much noise reduction applied that it is difficult to see any detail in many of the feathers. If ISO 1000 means turning your photograph into a painting, then thanks but no thanks.This was taken through small cage wire and I therefore had to work on
it to get reasonable contrast and a decent result. I like the way the
birds were cuddled up together.

Absolutely great photographs in terms of composition and final processing. Saying that, I'm saddened to see such beautiful creatures behind bars. Nice shots though, really enjoyed viewing these.
