Yesterday after shooting bird, went to shoot sunset.

Beautiful shot Kengoh. You always manage to capture the best timing somehow

First time tried pixel shift yesterday, the difference is quite obvious when looking at 100% size:

Original photo resized:

Center crop @100% without PixelShift:

Center crop @100% with PixelShift:

Here is another one at some distance:

100% crop without pixelshift:

Another thing I notice is that the camera intends to under expose about half stop when set to pixel shift than without pixel shift. I've tested the following scene more than three times in aperture priority mode, every time result came out similar.

Here is the original photo without pixel shift:

Center 100% crop:

Here is one with pixel shift:

Center 100% crop:

You can see the difference is quite obvious. I guess with pixel shift, the camera tries to preserve more dynamic range, so it purposely underexpose a little bit. The details are amazing.

Visited Hort Park on Monday May 24 during company's off for Vesak.
Lost touch in shooting macro.
Initially used wrong setting & thought my Sigma 180 macro not compatible with K1.
Finally got the juice out from Sigma180 & Voigt125.

Ken , you also can send to ST and let them do a feature on you. Just like the other guy...

Ben , nice capture . Again the image quality of both lens shows up well.

You are back into the game.

Very nice details. Seems beers haven't really made your hand shaky yet, especially considering you've lost touch ...

... whatever he drinking .. he definitely did not lost his magical touch. That's why I said he is back into the game ....we need him around too.
