Juvenile Wood duck (male) floating in a deeply shaded edge of a pond.

I absolutely love the effect of thin DOF on this one Peter!

Db:
"I suspect that some (surreptitious) software mod was also performed on the camera, - which I'm still checking on."

The advisory included an update to the latest firmware version (if needed) and the mirror mechanism lubrication.

Beautiful image. Another of your colorful, interesting, and unusual (to me) birds.

Here's a shot of Las Vegas 51s pitcher Giancarlo Alvarado using 2x II on my Canon 300mm 2.8 non-is on my 1D Mark IV, at f6.3, ISO 1600 and 1/1000.

Great color and detail using a long, heavy, BIG lens; especially in the first image.

Romy, that is a wonderful little bird, and you got her sharp and clear as a bell.
Your 400 f/2.8 IS + 2xTC is doing a great job for you......makes me wonder if you still have the Sigmonster ?

Some day I need to start shooting RAW like all experts do.

However, for now I am still OK with JPGs out of camera.

Thanks, Peter.

I already sold my Sigmonster a couple of years ago. I miss its framing flexibility, especially when shooting bird video where a 2x TC does more good than harm (IQ with a 2x is still great, plus moire in fine feather detail is reduced by the doubler).

Do you still have the 500 ?

Peter- Last 2 photos are fantastic.

Thang- Love your last photo!

Wrong phase to shoot the moon, but I liked having some color in the sky. And the camera looked ridiculous behind the glass

Yes Peter, I still have the 500 f4 IS, and it remains my default birding lens.

personally I think it all depends on what you are using it for. if you are trying to make a bear at 500 yards look close and hoping for wonderful details, etc,,you are pissin the wind,, all kinds of things working against you, dust, atmosphere, heat waves, even in -20 degrees on snow! but if you are shooting a titmouse at 15 yards and want him closer, sure, it works just fine,,, depends on the usage,,and what you are trying to accomplish
