Being Inquisitive

I tried out the Sigma 150-600 and while it was sharp, it was too heavy for handholding for extended periods and hard to manage a solid focus lock in tight confines. So instead, I got the newest model of the Nikon 1.4 tele-extender and am using that with my Nikkor 80-400 (which I really adore). Drawback is that it pushes you to f/8 at 560mm which in turn on less than stellarly lit days, forces an increase in ISO...but this is at ISO 800 and the grain is negligible.

Yep. What John said.

Well done, nice image.

Yeah, there are always compromises. Great result.

It's a great shot, very clear definitions of the tail!
