Just a quick and dirty montage of a sand martin in flight this afternoon. They were very distant, and the 500+2x TC isn't really up to this sort of thing, but still.

Hi Eldar.
It certainly tells the story, 840mm hand held at 1/500th, not bad!

Cheers Graham.

Thanks Graham,
The idea was to have a slow enough shutter speed to get the feeling of motion and splash, but keep his head sharp. Did not succeed completely, but still OK. Handheld is handheld ...

Nice one Eldar

I went to the beach this morning with my 400mm + 1.4xIII, trying to catch some surfers. Came out great

I occasionally see raptors flying high, usually too high for photos. I took the kestrel (middle) and buzzard (bottom) last weekend and the marsh harrier (top) last December. They are all 100% crops, with the birds occupying only 400-500x600-700 pixels, which gives an idea of how far away they were. All are hand-held using the 5DIII + f/2.8 300mm II + 2x TC III at f/5.6. 600mm and iso 640. (I saw them while walking around and could not have used a tripod).
