Superb bif capture, Terry. The backlit feathers creates a special effect!

Getting a little bit closer to the Hooded Mergansers. Doing my best to get both birds in focus - even at f/10 the ISO goes way up if the light isn't perfect.

K-3, DA*300mm, DA 1.4x TC

Decided I needed some fresh air, so I headed to the nearby Minnesota River to hunt for Trumpeter Swans, but only came across
a flock of ducks. Fortunately, the early morning light was favorable for a few nice captures of these mallards. Shot with the KP and
DA* 300mm f4.0. I used a Kenko 1.5x SHQ Tele-convertor on the shot with the mallard pair. Although it only support MF with this lens,
for relatively static subjects such as these ducks, it works rather well. (At least until I can spring for the DA* 1.4x TC)I really like how
light this combo is, and with the KP, I really don't feel like I need any additional resolution. Please click on the images to view the full size
jpegs on FLICKR.

Thanks.
Yes, they are impressive, and good subjects as they often just cruise around making it a bit easier to get a nice shot.

Cheers,
Terry
