Further to my previous post on the Oriental Honeybuzzard, let me post some thumbnails comparing the reach of the 500 f4 IS + the 7D, 1D4 and a combination of TCs. Like I said before, the more expensive camera might not be the better tool in some situations. These are posted to explain why I\'m a 7D fanatic.
Clouds were moving quite fast when these were taken, hence the different lighting conditions. All were shot from the same distance.
1. My ready combo on hand (1D4 + 500 f4 IS + 1.4x II)
2. I take off the 1D4 and mount the 7D. Still not the right framing I want. I take off the 1.4x II....
3. .....and switch to the 2x II.
4. Larger version of my favorite shot of the lot (No. 3 above), courtesy of the cheaper camera.
Habitat - Seen soaring above or near forest below 1500 m.
Shooting Info - Bacsil Ridge, San Fernando, La Union, Philippines, August 31, 2012, Canon 7D + EF 500 f4 IS + 2x TC II, 1000 mm, f/10, ISO 400, 1/250 sec, 475B/516 support, manual exposure in available light, uncropped full frame resized to 1500x1000.
