Thanks, guys... Wow!! is this a full frame at 50m? with that amount of length and shutter speed you were still able to control the shake!!! Awesome!! Cheers, Neon Neon, this is a 2400x1800 pixel crop, then resized to 1000x750. The bird was so far that even 2263 mm + 1.6x crop factor aren't enough to full frame it in portrait mode. I'm just wondering if this is the same bird in the same perch we got in 2005 at Subic? Nilo, it's in the same area, but this perch is about 10-15 meters farther from the road than our 2005 perch.

For that range, more than mere mortals could comprehend but browsing briefly your post in the SLRLens forum (in DPReview), a lot can't still accept the significance of the range ;D. Patiently nice.

superb ka romy. so i guess the time of the day is late afternoon? . does that explain the very low shutter speed? and why was the opening at f/25? max for your sigmonster? im awed more for the technical procedure and hyped more for the superb output. i guess the high magnification and low shut speed rendered a little millimicron blur..or is it the effect of compound teleconverters? i have experimented with my d80 and taken lots of night shots, room shots, candle lit shots to review capability of low speeds and max opening with iso compensation...worked out some good things here..till next posting..

Thanks, Gil and Ka Rene. This was taken in late morning bright light (almost 10 am). The Sigmonster + 2.8x TC is f/16 wide open and I stopped down to f/25 fo a bit better image quality. The extreme distance of 50 meters, plus all the extra glass in the stacked TCs will produce some degradation in quality. However, this capture has more recorded detail than using a 2x TC only, or just the bare 800 mm lens if shooting from the same distance.

Never imagined something so small and so far can be as detailed as this.
Grabe Romy, extreme birding.

Hi Romy, when I grow up I want to be able to take photos just like you. Truly amazing with stacked TCs yet, I have to try that come spring. Pops

ok...got the point.. i haven really done double stacked TCs. nowi understand better with yur teknikal explanation. if that is so, i agree to your settings. going lower than f/25 would be too hard to compensate with shutter..and that f/25 yielded the best razor.. goood, gooood take, and gooood, goood, disposition here ka romy. only a master can make nga.
i havent done shootin' em birds yet, but id like to try with my kabir rooster mated with a bantam hen. can you imagine that? she's got the strongest back in the whole of animal kingdom so far..hehehehe who can refute my claim??
