My first post here with the K5 and K 135f2.5 wide open on one of my two favorite subjects, my cat Tami. The image is not as vibrant as on my old 5D in terms of color and contrast. It was shot in raw, and converted in Lightroom 3.3 and cropped slightly. Will need to learn the K5 more thoroughly to get to where I want.

Hope you don't mind me playing around with your photo. All I did was simply increase the brightness. It looks much better already. I'm ok with the colours. It looks natural to me.

Would have been able to easily get better results with the raw file. Cheers.

Some more shots from Comifest

Pentax K-5 doing very well in low light, shooting with acceptable noise at ISO12800 and AF-C tracking models coming straight toward the camera. Can think about selling away my flash already.

Only big problem for me was the slow clearing of the buffer as I had to slow down my pace of shooting to maintain space in the buffer.

Darren, what lens were you using?

*edit probably the Tamron 70-200 I guess? a bit hard to evaluate sharpness with the small pictures but looks very good for 12800 shots!

I have a sandisk extreme card but even with that the buffer takes time to clear. I believe it is being bottlenecked by the PRIME II processor.

Nicely framed, but gotta look out for the burnt highlights.

Add a flag or power down and add a beauty dish to the face.

Thanks Baracus, will take note, I realised that the margin of error is pretty small when working with strobes at very close range.
