Not what I expected and it caught me unawares when it made a dash for it up the side of the Loch. I had no time to get rid of that convertor, but tried to make the best of it.

I really like this - a real action capture, with nice blurring of the bg and an out of the ordinary capture that reflects that fleeting moment when you see something dashing by from the corner of your eye.

I don't know how you do it with a 600 and a telec.
Amazing !(I could be an arse and say the end of the tail would have been good !!
