The 58th Presidential Inauguration

Note: Not a usual configuration of my 600. This was a special project. Demonstrating the use of multiple extenders in series.

Weather conditions: cloudy, light drizzle, atmospheric heat convection waves

That's correct -- 2400mm (48x) at f/16. Also, manually focused with live view screen magnified to 100x. Mounted on travel style tripod with gimbal head. The optical quality of the 600 f4L IS II never fails to impress on projects. Its stunning performance with said extender combination was not expected and certainly appreciated.

as one who is feverishly saving for the 600/4 II, those images are amazing.

I have no idea how you arranged such access, but I suppose your username is a clue. That final image would have me way too nervous to attempt any such shots.

Your images are a great example of the resolving capabilities of this incredible equipment.

I wasn't aware one could stack the 2.0x TC's - Mk III on Mk II.

fascinating images - compliments.
