My first real venture out with the new brick,just a walk around home really. We have a bit of a scrape that I actually thought would have dried up,with the lack of rain,naturally I go and see the day before it starts raining here. i've been so pressed of late I haven't kept check on what's going on at home so have just realised the photo ops i've missed. i've never seen a little egret here before and I also caught up with a piper,I think wood. So I had a wonderful time yesterday. when I roe went for a swim and I missed it all due to being head down yards away from the egret I could have screamed,but such is wildlife. I only realised the roe was there when it was on me...hey ho, I started on 800mm but had to admit defeat and swapped the 2X for 1.4,as everything was too close,so much for reach.
Guys this is with the 2x extiii,be brutal about IQ please I want you honest opinions ,yeah I know its a small jpeg!! It's the first real time i've used the 2x with the 400DO coupled into me fumbling about with my new camera 1dxii whici've only had for days. I have only made images of an egret once before if memory serves so pretty much everything is new here little processing skills with a white bird plus differnt files to what I'm used to. Tell ya what though with time for me to get my act together having 800mm that is hand holdable is something Af seems great ,and I know i'm not getting the best out of it all as yet!!
It's early in the day but sadly the light got harsh quick really tricky handling the whites i'm just a little concerned about the finer detail but with so little experience kinda want to ask what you lot thought 1/1600 f8 iso 3200 cheers for any thoughts in advance
take care
