That's a beautiful image Lance. The detail and colors are fantastic.
I've played with the 2xTC & this lens, but don't recall trying with the Z7II.
Thank you very much for your lovely comments, Phil.
The detail in these images is excellent, Phil. You've got to be happy with those bee shots! Love the first image, the colours of the flowers in the OOF areas with the bee looks great.
Echidnas and Platypus are the only two egg laying mammals in the world. Their group is called monotremes which include 3 types of Echidna and the Platypus.
This Echidna was on the march looking for a termite mound to get his next meal. Interestingly, he swam across a small lagoon to get to the other side, maybe swimming about 100mts. I was absolutely surprised they could swim so well and it was behaviour I never knew they did. Anyway, he got to the sand between the ocean and the lagoon and then still had to swim again across the small channel of water that connected the lagoon to the sea.
An amazing experience for me to see this behaviour.
He became a little used to me and so I go down on the sand and took this shot, which I am VERY pleased with.
I had to do a fair bit to rescue this image, as I'd been photographing ducks when he/she landed, and in my haste to pan up, I got a face-full of water spray and in the few shots I got off, the image was heavily misted. It's a testament to the quality of the lens and Z6 DR that I was able to pull this back; lifer-saving stuff.
