I don't think you gain any resolution after the fourth or fifth doubler.

Thank you, Romy.
So that you know.......the Cormorant shot was relatively easy.
When it comes to Common terns, my keeper rate was quite low, because these f/4 lenses (i.e., 500/600) + 2xTC are not quite up to that kinda BIF, even on 1DX .
Nice shooting Peter, really like the 2nd, you've captured the 'Common' in quite a striking position
BTW, I doubt they are of the same species, but a tin of oiled sardines and a few rycrisp are my dining pleasure tonight...much easier to catch then your Tern's meal...yummy tho!

Thank you Jerry, I also like Portughese sardines in olive oil. I've been thinking of baiting the terns with live minnows.
Jerry, some fishing tackle supply stores carry live bait fish......they give ya a ziplock bag filled with minnows in water.....no problem to carry at all.
I reckon I'd need at least 2 lb of minnows so that they do not disperse too fast once they are returned to the lake.

Only live bait experienced was on charter boats out of San Diego, we weren't using minnows to catch Blue Fin's and Yellowtail tho, but I wasn't shooting pics either
As for your 'Commons' they seem to inhabit your neck of the woods and those of Europe. We do have a species or two that kind of look like the Commons, I found pics but no descriptions yet, I'm working/studying tho, hoping to find a local haunt I might shoot at

Back to terrestrial samples with feathers. I decided not to clone out the dropping in the foreground.

Very nicely exposed, Romy.....I like that sort of "natural" look which is hard to get if one applies heavy handed pp onto the image file.
I agree, very natural looking.
