Thanks Seefei. Yah, luckily I realized my workplace throws away lots of those white polyfoam sheets. Got thick n thin ones. So I took some and cut it for Diffuser. Really works.

I realized my 55-300 sharp till 250mm only. More than that not really sharp. Like this guy taken at 230mm

Nice shot of the red breasted sunbird. :thumbsup:
If it's not on the messy leaves but open perch will be even better. ;p
This lens is quite good, I find it @300mm is not too bad.

hi kengoh and riscal, usually wat min shutter speed u guys allow urself to use at 300mm?
coz it's quite shaky for me..

Theorectically is 1/(focal length x crop factor) = 1/450s
With SR enabled, I usually shoot at 1/320s

what if the lighting forces u to shooting below 1/320s?
Thats why Ken kept Bumping up the ISO. As for me, I just give up if I cant get it. Lol. :bsmilie:
Kx is quite good for using birding as proof from Ken's Hi-ISO birding picture above.
Though I starting to prefer taking flower picture using 55-300mm due to its interesting bokeh.

And if its starts to rain, u can see the ripple bokeh. Can see the semi lining, that was ripple created by the rain.

Thats a good pic using at that high ISO. Anyways, the red bird I took is actually quite timid. Thats the best pic I think I could get it albeit those messy Fore/Background.

i gotta agree with this, my first love with pentax lens was with the dal 55-300 (well, i only have this and the kit 18-55)Thats why Ken kept Bumping up the ISO. As for me, I just give up if I cant get it. Lol. :bsmilie:

it really stands out when u zoom in a lot..

birds aren't really my thing but since we're on the subject, just one to share
| F8 | ISO 800 | 1/60 |
i was shooting a spider right before this :sweat: so didn't really have time to think... the bird flew off just as i was tweaking my aperture and ISO for another shot :cry:
cropped quite a lot ;p

Can see that you are not ready to use the optimal settings, it's just too sudden. :lovegrin:
If you've used a wider aperture, the iso will be lower & you could have a cleaner bird with better bokeh. ;p

Thanks riscal, you are right, usually I'll try to bump up the iso , if really bad then no choice have to give up the shot.
300mm taking flower shots is also not bad. ;p
I love the bokeh too.
