Really bad quality photos as I used a 2x converter

[lostprophet]

Can we diss on the 1.4x converter still? Just kidding

Actually I'm glad to see these nice shots as I have been considering try one one, thanks.

Peter Witham

not used a 1.4x ... yet, its on my ever growing list of bit I want

LP I think I've run out of words to describe how awed I am by your photos.

well as long as you don't start saying you've had enough of them, I'll keep posting

Those are very nice! I have been thinking about a purchase but haven't heard good things.. thank you for setting me more at ease.

no problem

The only thing I can see wrong with any of these is the dodgey wet brown things in the last 2 shots......

you know Ian I might just use you as food for the Bears next time I head over to Whipsnade

Well, I guess I'm going against the weight of opinion, but I think the pics are lovely!! (Poo on the naysayers)

Edit: oh, and I agree with Hoppy.

thank you and pull the otter one! I saw how impressed you were with the London Otters

me too hehe he's my hero!

My 2x converter is pretty cool and doesn't mangle up images I hope to trade it in for a pretty white canon one in the not to distant future though

Just remember the white Canon ones only work on their white lenses apart from the 200mm F2.8 135mm F2 and the 180mm F3.5 macro

Oh WHY did you have to say THAT!!!!!

Ian, people bow to me its all part of being a member of the LPAS, Lostprophet Appreciation Society. Remember membership is free for the first 6 months

jeez finally someone speaks up for extension tubes and tele-converters!

yeah there are bad tele's out there . . . just like there are bad lenses.
that doesn't mean there aren't good ones though.


extension tubes. . . whats the argument people give for lost quality on that?

got a bit carried away with that, no one has said anything bad about tubes

you can clearly see these were all taken with a TC. The quality is bad, lack of contrast etc etc....humbug
I wish i had money, i would buy it all in an instant.
All of the pics are great..........again

cheers mate

Great Shots!! #2,3 &6 are my favorites.

thank you

Great work salvaging those awful photos. He He LOL With a good matched tele and the right lens, there is no issue with quality. I think a lot of the bad rap is most shooters don't use a rigid enough tripod when focal lengths get long. That and the slower shutter speed due to the loss of 2 stops just takes a little thought to get past. The results are obviously worth it. Again, good job, great pix. Really impressed by the frog and fox pix. ( a fox is so darn hard to get close to )

many thanks, closest I've been to a fox in the wild was about 300meters and that was just awesome!

i also bought a 2x teleconverter for 40 dollars at a local camera show. It works great, the only problem i have is that when coupled with my 35-200 lens, the max aperture size is f/11... i like your photos!

[gtkelly]

Oh the humanity - these are just horrible. That 2x converter truly is rubbish. I mean look at those bears - they look like otters...

I'll be more than happy to dispose of it for you.

[Kurtis Moore]

Are you crazy man? Quality looks top notch to me. Great captures. I LOVE the squirrel shot.

[gtkelly]

Not crazy. Sarcastic maybe, but not crazy. At least that's what I've been telling those other 7 voices in my head.

As usual these are awesome. All of them. Even the otter-bears...

And the offer to take the 'rubbish' 2x converter off your hands still applies.

Not crazy but just fed up with people saying all photos taken with a 2x converter are bad quality, and these were to prove my point that they can be very good

thanks for the offer but I think I'll keep it

Yes I heard about this membership - after 6 months he pays you to be a member If anyone is interested I have some autographed copies of LP - they are reasonably sharp and there are no furry things in the picture - well apart from Hoppy. Great images apart from those bloody OTTERS that follow you about. Is it true you bought the extender on the profit from my eye-cups?

[the real slim aidy]

hahahahaha on all the cooments, oh and i think there great to love the frog

[neogfx]

Really good shots. I love the red squirrell.
And the red fox yawning is awesome. I'm still trying to get a decent capture of a fox, but only ever see them at night when I'm driving past without my camera.

I love #5. What a gorgeous animal.

To be honest Ray yes it was paid for by the profit of your eyecups
