Can't get nice smooth shadows like the macro shifus here, but I think my cut-up milk carton diffuser (= char kway tiao plate diffuser) + built-in flash did a decent job on Kermit the frog here.Now I just need the K-5 to help me lower the noise...
A few more macro pics here.
That char kway teow plate diffuser seems to work fine.Thanks marcus, but I still like your twin flash best.Have to go very close with the plate diffuser to get good results. I'll see if I can improve it.
Guess we come from school of hard knocks:bsmilie: Try and try and soon have good results.
Tat frog from US? Have not seen one here but we have imported bull frog.

I got nothing to contribute on the high ISO but I really want to share with fellow pentaxian that I'm very impressed with the new k5.
Previously my kx the AF is really bad, not only it's slow & hard to focus accurately & also lack of focusing pt in the vf, I tend to miss quite a no. of good shots on this small little bird which is very hard to get closer to him. :sweat:
Now with k5, the focusing is very fast & accurate & I manage to shoot this bird easily, the extra megapixel gives me a bigger crop. ;p
Yesterday there was a fire on school and I rushed down to cover it, but after shooting ~20 photos, both batteries in my camera went flat!! But it's a good thing to have a gf who uses a K10D because I managed to get some spare batteries from her. Always keep your batteries charged and memory cards formatted because of Murphy's Law.
Anyway, after shooting in the darkness and struggling so much with low-light AF and high ISO noise, I truly believe that the K-5 is in my near future. So jealous of all you guys shooting at ISO12800 like it was ISO800..
Enough talk, some pictures!

Fast AF speed managed to snap fast moving sunbird too.
Just attended the 蘇打綠, Sodagreen Press Conference at the Mandarin Oriental this afternoon. 蘇打綠, Sodagreen is a Taiwanese folk-rock-pop band. How many of you know this band?
All my shots were taken using K7 with DA*16-50 & my newly equipped DA*50-135. Loving them! :bsmilie:
Definately. Might upgrade next time, I'm still doing fine with the K7 for now I guess.
