Chickadee (D800, new version 80-400, TC 17 E11)

7360 wide cropped to ~ 4400 wide (4/3's ratio) and downsized to 1000 wide.

1/2000, iso 2000, F/9.5, Kuso says 650mm, no noise treatment.

I actually plan to use the lens/teleconverter primarily on the D7100 but wanted to see how the D800 did with slightly less reach.

Nice, Don.

Very nice!

I'm sure that if you'd sharpen it a bit you'd get a super picture. Was this shot sharpened or not?

Pretty basic edit but I may have added +1 in FastStone when I downsized it ? Can't remember, heck that was hours ago

In the first image I played around with bringing out as much detail on the eye as possible, possibly to the detriment of the rest of the image....

You can see the light is coming from the right and there is a shadow of the little stump on the birds head. So basically the eye is turned away from the light and is also in shadow.

Anywho, this is closer to my normal editing....



Cheers, Don

Very nice shot
