Hi Guys,

Have been very occupied with work and have not had many chances to go out there and shoot something nice...
So here's another from my series with this lovely and very light coloured juvenile Buzzard (Buteo buteo)

Greetings,

Joeren, this is a wonderful image in every way - pose, details and background. I might be tempted to clone out the "blemish" on the bird's back. I'm interested in the quoted focal length of 1092mm. I've just ordered the same lens

and didn't think a 1.4 converter would give that overall length. Are you including sensor crop factor?

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your comments.
I did indeed include the 1.3 cropfactor of the camera into the focal length.

Lovely image.
I too was looking at your focal length before reading the above comments.
Being picky, a crop factor does not change the focal length! Therefore it's 820mm!
