chaffinch 600mm+2xtc f/f

[j.palmer]

I had'nt planed on using the 600 in the hide as the distance would be to great for the bigma.

so I found up some m42 extention tubes making about 2" add this to the camera adapter and the CFD is now to within about 10ft .

The male chaffinch does'nt mind sitting for a while so I can get focus on live view and with 1200mm things are a little wobbly with the 5x on screen zoom.

so all this adds up to a f/frame head and shoulders .

many thanks jason

Jason you have done it again mate. Great stuff, see your name and know it is going to be great

 

[j.palmer]

Wow thank you very much for the comments, appreciated.

I was'nt going to post it as bird faces look a bit macroish? and big.

But after I had done all pp work it actually looked a really nice portrait, something Ill be doing more off.

many thanks

Be interesting to see a shot of something like a ruler at an angle with that set up - the depth of field must be pretty shallow. Obviously enough though judging by this!

 

[j.palmer]

thanks robert funny you should say that as the bird's need to side on to get good focus if not then it's nightmare with the shallow dof.
but ill do some ruler shots and post tomorrow.

cheers jason
