Tel, if next week we have good weather I will be packing my lunch and going to spend the whole day in this reserve . Today I only spent one and half hour and got a bucket load of snaps ,
And next time I am going to put the TC to a full blast, today I was afraid I wouldn't know how to use the settings properly and didnt want to come empty handed so decided to take it off after a few shots. Regret it now, looking at the first shots taken with it I could have really done great with it ha

Want to join me for the day trip?
I can guarantee you some superb shots on this place

ooops wife is calling for dinner, I will upload some more tomorrow ,

I have to apologise for the title please. Not all the images were taken with the adapter. The first few were. I put it on one of my comments after the first shot. But my mistake, with the enthusiasm of uploading the shots taken with the adapter I just used the same title and went ahead uploading the ones taken without the adapter.
I will go label them again the ones with the adapter

This one just with the DA*300

Here is another one, I love this one flying

If someone prefers BA rather than Easyjet here it is

Great stuff Stefan,
So its not me just messing up with the settings the reason why the noise comes up, right? I just get this feeling that only the ones on iso 100 settings come really great without any noise. But I detect also of course that depending on what contrasting colours the image has the noise becomes more visible, so in this case its the sky etc.

Here I decided to play a bit with PP , just for fun.
Also wanted to bring out the droplets on the swan's head, just to make it slightly different, out of a boring image

Mike, this one is heading towards your way .

I just realised I am having a battle with noise on my images. Anything other than 100 and it gets noise and seems like a lot for just 200 iso setting. Unless I am doing something wrong, but if someone has any advice or recommendations on how to improve please I would be really thankful

couldn't leave this one behind .
I particularly loved the way it has its wings up in that sort of heart shaped and the neck angle with the head, full of vanity as if saying "is there anyone prettier than me?" ha lol

coming up Tel, more suprises coming
photoshop playing havoc with me.
Ohh backside of the kingfisher coming up but I think I messed up with this one, lighting wasnt the best and it just wouldnt turn to its side, but here it comes

I briefly tried the Pentax 100mm macro with the adapter and I was absolutely stunned with what I got, I just did a few tests, nothing worth seeing but the details and the fact that I was getting 170mm on macro was absolutely stunning. I am quite eager to have a go at it with the macro lens too, and I have a little suspicion its going to be a cracker with it
