Nice to see you back Jonathan!! Awesome comeback captures!! I was just wondering, since this bird is a lot bigger than a chicken, how far were you? to think you have a monster 1,680mm setup!! What did you stack this time on your howitzer?

Thanks, Neon! I should be able to go out more often now... I'd say they were about 60-70m from the edge of the lake to the small island where they nest. i just stacked a TC14E and a Soligor MC7 2.0x to the 600. For some reason the Soligor can't relay the focal length so the exif reads only 850mm. Metering works but AF is unreliable because of the loss of light that's why i had to focus manually.

Holy stack! These are great shots considering the high ISO and the slow speed. Excellent work!
Good to see you posting again, Jonathan.

Thanks, Bob, te Lyds.. te lyds, hehe i definitely want to capture one in action. But to justify it a bit, they're also called "Snake Bird" when they're not 'darting'.
