Red-winged Blackbird

As long as I have a bird still long enough, I can get a fine image with my Nikkor 70-300 VR/Sigma 1.4x TC combination. Where I find it lacking is when I have to respond quickly to catch a pose. The lens with TC just reacts too slowly for that kind of situation. Otherwise, the lens/TC works pretty well. It has been cropped just a bit.

It does look like a very fine lens Vern. Your images are always first rate what ever you use. Can't wait to get my own.

That is an outstanding catch, Vern!The detail is very good...and it is hard to capture on this bird because of its blackness. Jeannie

Vern, a beautiful catch, much nicer than our Blackbirds which are all Black and very hard to photograph
