We gave our oldest grandsons a fishing trip for their Christmas present. So right after the New Year, I spent a nice Sunday afternoon off the coast of Dana Point, CA with my two sons teaching the grandkids how to fish. I had seen quite a few posts on various forums asking about the DA16-45mm lens, so I shot their entire outing with the K-x and this lens. Photos shot at ISO 400 at apertures between f/5.6 and f/8.0 thanks to great light on the Pacific ocean this particular afternoon. Images shot in RAW and processed into jpegs for posting on blogger using Adobe Camera Raw 5.5 and PhotoShop CS4. Click on either thumbnail to see larger image.
