About	This pair is on hyper alert to ward off challenges to its nest claim. However, in the next week they abandoned this nest and rebuilt another. I previously posted another version of this pair, but think this one is the best. The graduated blue sky was added, exposure was right on but I had to crop a lot, even with 510mm of lens and the 1.5x sensor crop factor. I have since learned that with this lens and TC17E combination, there is still great quality at F/8. Given that, I could have safely cut to ISO 800.

Nice one too Eb, you are right IQ look great even with the TC and the crop, actually amazingly good.

Beautiful capture of the birds, Eb! The one we had visiting(the kids named it Herman, ha ha) has apparently left. I'm not very sneaky, and the 18-200 wasn't enough lens to get a decent shot.

What a beautiful image Eb! I have no chance to admire these splendid animals here. They are really pissed off!
Take care.

Pat, thanks! A 600mm f/4 could happen with the wife willing (she is a softie after she recovers from her initial fright!) However, it is doubtful that I will go down that road or have enough use for it to justify the expense. That would be another style of photography altogether. I'd have to be in better shape to lug that one around!

Incredible sharpness, in a very soft way, and so clear.. Outstanding capture dear Eb.!
Warm regards and hugs, parehan

Eb - Beautiful setting and composition. You are correct...TC-17E is great and does not seem to degrade image visibly. Maybe your wife will let you break over and buy a 600mm f4?
