angeche Posted December 11, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted December 11, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, I took the Telyt 400mm last Friday, plus the leica 2x convertor and the Panasonic GH2. Winter is here, temperatures around the freezing point, cloudy skies, and few birds. Â There were some coots around: Â Â Â One of them decided herbs were not good enough: Â Â I shot another bird that made me feel silly once I arrived home and checked the web for info about it. It is a muscovy duck, a wild species in America but used here to make foie! Probably the duck escaped from some farm around.... Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkCambridgeshire Posted December 11, 2011 Share #2  Posted December 11, 2011 Interesting 'coot with frog' picture - I would not have thought that a coot would attempt such a meal - but now there is proof! Did you use the 2x extender for any of the shots Jose?  Best wishes  dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted December 13, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted December 13, 2011 Jose, Â Marvelous shots. I especially like the one having the connoisseurs meal of frog legs. Very good composition, colors and sharpness as well as great timing. Â Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit of a challenge to focus at 400x2 and with a subject in movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
