today i took it out to find some birds in my back yard and almost walked right into this guy, the 300 + TC turned out to be too much for as close as i got

    Well, Brian, that new TC works just fine with your 300mm! I love the first photo. Best, Pam

    very nice shots!
    i've thought about getting either the 1.4x or 2x to use with my canon 100-400L is usm but being 4.5-5.6 to begin with i thought the loss in stops (light) would make it not worth the investment, wish i had the cash to get a good 800 mm low light lens...

    Lovely shots, Brian. First photo takes the cake for me. Nice choice of subject and the bokeh is superb. Keep it up!

    Nice captures Brian and congrats on the new TC! I'm saving my pennies now so I can get one myself soon.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
