Another of your beautiful pictures. Great bokeh and perspective. I see this was shot at 531 mm; I assume the 200-600 mm zoom. Are you using this lens with a 1.4 extender when you post shots at 840 mm?
Thanks Bajadreamer, yes I’m using a 1.4 extender with the 200-600mm.
Well, the proof is in the pudding. That combo seems to work great for you.
One of my favorites, too. Looks like you caught this one lower down; I usually see them waaaay up in the top of the trees.
This bird was up, down and all around. It’s hard to get a shot where the throat feather are not blown out with direct sunlight. I’m still working on that. This warbler species reminds me so much of hummingbirds. I mean just look at that patch of throat feathers. It looks like a hummingbirds gorget doesn’t it?
