South Bay Morning


Great Egret

Well, Ashok and I had a pretty slow morning at Sunnyvale Baylands and the neighboring sewage ponds. I did have a lot of fun borrowing his 2X teleconverter, and I even, in a moment of hubris, tried stacking the 1.4X teleconverter on the 2X teleconverter on the 500mm f/4L on the camera body with the 1.6 magnification factor, leading to the equivalent of a 2,240mm f/8 monstrosity. Thanks to the miracle of image stabilization plus the wicked tripod setup, I actually got some moderately sharp images with that setup. More pictures here.
