I drove about 50 miles to a lake to shoot some birds and whatever strolled into my field of view. I have been battling a chest cold for the last 3 days so dragging all of that gear, including the "beast" (600mm f/4) took a lot out of me. I set up the beast on the tripod and used a TC-300. Even with a 1200mm effective focal length the images took a fair amount of cropping. I only stopped down to f/5.6 on the lens so the depth of field was paper thin. I did not last very long because it was cold and I did not want to get any sicker so I did not take all that many images.
These are some weird looking ducks (the second one may be a goose, I usually can't tell the difference!)
