That lens is working much better for you.
It's always difficult getting birds in flight on dull days. You almost need to lift exposure compensation by +2stops !!
I am sure Jeff won't mind me saying that he rarely takes his wildlife photos in anything but good light....or at least the ones he shows us.
However frustrating and tempting it is sometimes you just have to say "not today". Working commercially outdoors I learnt this lesson the hard way. Your work is always lacklustre when you try to make do with poor available light.
One of the reasons I didn't do wedding!!!!!
Yes - I am getting better. Itook the moon shot to find out how the camera would deal with that scenario. I was amazed at the detail.
I see what you mean.I should have used spot metering, not centre weighted even set at 8mm dia. I tried altering the exposure in NX Studio and achieved a similar result. My images are in RAW format and I export them as .jpg. I have yet to discover how to make selective adjustments to the background as you have done.
I will now go away and find out!
Incidentally, the teleconverter I ordered from Clifton Cameras is on back order( they emailed me). It didn't stop them taking the money though!!
