My wife gave me a couple hours out today so I took my camera to the locak state park for a walk in the woods.
It's nice to have a powerful superzoom for these walks. A bird really can zoom in at 50x.
A redbellied woodpecker way up in the tree and I saw a small flock (3-4) of Eastern Bluebirds one of which stayed in one place long enough to get a couple of shots off at 50x zoom and with the 2x teleconverter. With the teleconverter on and focused on the eye, the bird was too large to fit the field of view. I didn't feel I had the time to adjust the location of the focus point and I was right. In a moment it was off. The right most photo below is not cropped at all.
I need to make a habit of taking a couple of hours each weekend to go into the woods.
