Wonderful Johnny…And such great focus…From the tree limb to the entire bird. How I am always trying to get such a great DOF…Do you have any secrets to share? The details are so sharp and complete…very very impressive! (Looks like you added the black background. Am I right? It adds to the composition…
Cheers, “Lizzie”
John44 replied
Yes Lizzie .. for you no secrets :-) It was ‘Photo shopped’I cropped the one.. had to .. there was a half owl on the left .. and we learn no half subjects on side lines.
The background was the iron fence to keep ‘m inside the sort of huge cage , there fore a black background
I am quite content with that 2x converter.. this way my photo gear is not to heavy and right away I say the white 100-400 lens ibetter
( again .. also more weight)
