Taken at Gigrin.

1D3 + 500f4 + 1.4TC + 2.0TC

Wimberley gimble v2/Gitzo 1548 legs
Manual focus
ISO 640
1/800 @ f/8

It amazes me that the 1D3 still autofocuses with the stacked 1.4/2.0 TC's

.But the EXIF readings only thinks its only the 2.0TC attached lol.

I went for the manual focus for this one tho.

Thanks for looking and for your comments

That's a nice image Alan.Some Buzzards are very pale anyway(light phase )
I don't know how you do it stacking the converters like that !!

Hi Alan,

Looks like a pretty decent result given the method used to obtain the image.
