Getting Closer ~ I Can See Clearly Now!

I wrote a post not too long ago talking about how all my bird photos are cropped.  Now I have purchased a teleconverter for my zoom lens and I can get quite a bit closer.

Some birds will let you get fairly close to them... like this lovely Peacock in the park.  Now I'm able to get some shots with no cropping and I do find it makes a lot of difference in the level of detail I can see.

I took this close-up from about 10 feet away.  The combination of getting physically closer and also having a more powerful lens is very cool.

Here's a crow I captured a few days ago.  Again I was able to get fairly close, and also shoot with higher magnification.

Great Blue Herons in flight...  I can't always get close to the bird so sometimes I still have to crop in, but not as much as before.

I'm pretty happy with my new setup now.  I still don't have a super long lens.  My zoom and teleconverter are giving me 420 mm which is not a lot for birding, but it's an improvement.

Here's a final photo where the bird came to me, so I got a close-up shot even without my bird lens.  This is a _Starbucks Crumb Sucker,_ nice and close.  I hope you enjoyed these photos!
