While preparing mentally for an upcoming trip, I reviewed files from the previous one to see what mistakes I made, how to correct them and what I could do better, in general. I discovered a lot of files that didn't make the first nor the second cut that I like better now than before. Here is one...
No, not an eagle but a green toucanet... The original file showed the entire bird, including the tail. While sharp and in focus alright but it was.... boring. The crop seems to make it more interesting.
Not as good as Joshua's toucanet, which is wonderful, but these are the best I could come up with on a not very bright day, trying out the 1.4 converter for the first time. Too many of the pictures were at ISO 3200, which is faster than I like: it is certainly very usable but with cropping the extra quality of being below around 1000 seems noticeable. Maybe my technique, of course! I forgot the converter was there most of the time, apart from being confined to f8, though I didn't get flying birds to try it out on which is where any difference in focus speed would really show up. These are cropped, possibly quite heavily, though not too far to make a decent A4 or even A3 print.

I went to an antique store and I bumped into this girl and she had a Sony A7r II with a GM lens. So, I must take a picture of her since I had my camera as well .
A little fun at the zoo. My son is in the background. I feel like the Giraffe was posing for me. This was about 20 yards away from me, I was on a seperate tower.
