Post your best bird shots!

[Jayson]

Thanks guys, I was very lucky with the Kenko. I actually bought another one and was stacking them for a while for some macro stuff and it still worked really well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the 1.4x TC to anyone. Only issue is the new DGX one doesn't work with my 70-200f4 IS. Heard other people with that problem too. Oh well, at least I have one that works.


I am always amazed at the pictures you guys post on here and thank you for the inspiration. Now if it would hurry up and become spring.

I decided to try my 70-200f4L IS with two Kenko 1.4xtc stacked and the results weren't too bad. I could definitely tell there was some defraction and image degeneration, but I can't complain.

Jayson, I couldn

Thanks JJ. I was very pleased with the results. I did learn that I am really bad at manual focusing and got lucky on a couple. I believe these were all at f10, 1/400 sec, at iso of 400 or something right close to there.


Here are the two pictures you have mentioned. Both are sized to 750 with no sharpening or cropping. Just the exposure adjustments mostly. On the other pictures I used Nates sharpening technique and NN for the smoothing of the background. I did take out a branch in the second picture.
