In your face


GRAY SQUIRREL, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, FEBRUARY 14, 2010

Pentax *ist DS
SMC Pentax-F* 300mm f4.5 ED (IF)
1/125 sec. at f4.5
ISO 400

The combination of a 20-year-old lens -- one of the sharpest Pentax ever made -- and a six-year-old 6-megapixel digital camera can still yield satisfactory shots. This one was taken through a glass window onto our backyard deck with the animal only about 6 feet away. The photo was cropped about 25 per cent to strengthen its impact.
