Thanks to the 8.3fps that makes this series of burst shots possible.
To capture as much shots as possible within the frame, I shot at a further distance, I have no worries on the details as K3 24MP is able to provide the details at this distance.

Quite bad purple fringing, curious what lens you used? Looks like a pair of pink necked green pigeon. The wood peckers are Common Flameback.

DA*50-135 at about 7 plus in the morning. I PP the brightness and saw the purple fringing.

FHM Singapore 2014 - Top 20 Round 1 at Bugis Junction.

Using K3 + DA 50-135
I took quite an amount of shoots with AF-C. Just curious, would you all use together with flash to take the shoots? The lighting is good enough without using flash, i felt. I was using it and could only use a shutter speed of 1/160. As the event was crowded, I could only take when the models turns towards my side and walking back.

Would a higher shutter be better and not using flash better. Which would you all choose? I am using Manual Flash anyway.











Rest are here....
 

Awesome shots, I like the colour model black and white background, how did you do this ? :D:D

IMO, flash is better.. :)
Without it, most prolly your model would have somewhat darken faces.

Anyway, how come 1/160? I thought max is 1/180?

edit: If these are the shots that you are getting with flash being used, don't you notice that there is a better separation between background and subject? Perhaps next time try to underexpose -0.7 ambient and maintain flash power.

Thansk Philip, I edited this in Lightroom with adjustment brush but it is lots of works in painting over. I think using photoshop should be must easier. Doyle spotted colours in the background!!
He has sharp eyes!

Hee. I was using 1/3 Stop for my exposure setting, maybe that's why cant hit 1/180. Hmm would try your setting next time, if i remember.. LOL!!
