yellow wagtail

Heres the follow on from my little experiment with a cropped image using the stacked TCs. This was effectively F8 and the light was neutral which may make it look a little darker.

Heres the other image as promised with the single 1.4 TC for comparison and like before no cropping just resized.

Maybe this birds eyes were bigger than its belly? ;) http://www.tomcharles-photography.co.uk/wagtails.htm

Heres one from yesterday taken among those great people again. This one was taken with the 300 F4 and 2 - 1.4 Kenkos stacked to give me 580mm and hasn't been cropped just resized for the web. At a later date i will show a result with just one 1.4 TC to show the differnce in detail.

Is the fly attention seeking or imposing its own death-wish?; you decide! ;) lol http://www.tomcharles-photography.co.uk/wagtails.htm

My new favourite bird of the moment is this yellow waggy. I have managed to get very close to him on each of my visits to the pond where he feeds.

I got to see first hand yesterday why dung heaps are ideal hunting grounds for various birds! :) http://www.tomcharles-photography.co.uk/wagtails.htm

This guy was an excellent fly catcher, he'd chase them down or catch them in the air.

Had a few of these coming to my pool.

This morning I managed to get a shot of the waggy before the stilts spooked him.

I caught this guy just as he decided to take off.

Sorry got a thing about birds looking a bit rough.
