AF performance - K-x vs K-r vs EOS 550D

[seefei]

i dont enjoy shooting 1:1 all the time cos of the lighting and dof challenge. some cropping do no harm and with some astute framing of subject will give reasonable result.

sharing a fly head i shot with a tamron90 & K20D body. some cropping and rotating to give better composition was done.

where is tomorrow's gathering? is this a "pentax gathering," a "macro gathering," or a little of both, or neither? :-D

tomorrow's gathering is at city hall... its a pentax gathering but non-pentax users are welcomed to join as well. we're not territorial about this sort of thing i think...

subject is night / city landscape. not much macro opportunities i think... me not bringing macro lens also feel free to join.

many bros will be bringing their K-X, K-R and K-5 so feel free to drop in and chat.

i've been wanting to do that bet never found the chance or kakis to do this... definitely not something i want to try alone... in case kena wild boar, or snakes or hornets :sweat:

maybe we should have a 2nd outing this month for night macro?

think UV light comes in handy too? cos some creepy crawlies glow under UV light (i.e. scorpions)

Actually, most of my Macro shots is at night. Alone is quite scary but if u love what u do, u just dun care. :bsmilie:

Never tried UV light before. Maybe can test it.

So far, night macro with insects, they dont fly away most of the time. Its like they just kinda curious for quite some time, they will move but very slow. I think their sleeping time la. haha.

I dun mind having a NIght Macro outing.
