dont be to disheartend mate there still cracking shots.
Nice set, must get to see some soon.
TC won`t help bud.The locals advised that the birds fish more on the next loch up as it contains more trout...........
I recognise that tree as well..........
But 3 out of about 80 shots is going backwards :bang:
You are shooting an 840mm lens wide open, aside from possibly sharpness suffering your depth of field is going to be rather thin. Try stopping down to f7.1, you should be able to lower the shutter speed a touch to compensate.
Does the lens have IS?
