Don't usually do bird shots, but saw a little robin this afternoon and couldn't resist.

Had my 50mm on and didn't want to scare him away by getting too close, so had to crop the shot quite a bit in post..

Couple from today at the all about dogs show. Honey who is our 1 year old puppy having her first go at agility. And a couple of the professionals.

Some of the pictures seem to lose some clarity over the original images when making them 1024 - is there anyway to reduce size but keep clarity?

Thanks. yeah, the trip was amazing.Skiing was fantastic, wildlife opportunities were just a dream and frequently with good lighting to boot, hotels were good, lots of nice restaurants. Can't wait to do the same trip next year TBH.

Just getting used to the K3ii and I already want a longer lens. Too bad sigma don't make one anymore and the Pentax version is £1400...
