 What hat?

:lol:

The forum software isn't kind on our images Iain... o.O

Have you tried posting your images through Flicker? I think they fare better posted through a host rather than via the forum software, plus you can mix text and several images, as you wish.

 Good weather so took the 500mm to Titchfield Haven lots of Black Headed Gulls getting ready for the breading season. This is again with the x1.4 extender giving me 700mm with the D810. This image is about 50% of the full frame.

Iain like the 200-500mm pix good detail perhaps need bit more contrast? There have been mixed reports of this lens but looks like you have a good example.

 I like the composition and separation in this one Graham, the obvious activity in the group is nice. If the cropping is 50% then we are seeing about 1400mm effective focal length.

With tests conducted in the past on this forum, with D2x and D200, cropping was as good as a a decent X2 teleconverter. With these modern ultra high resolution sensors, lens permitting, they should be good for much more than 50% (X2) cropping. From what I read, I understand the edge fall off is noticeable on the 500 so heavy *central* cropping may even improve matters.

 Happy Easter All!

My Easter present arrived on the fence with a loud drumming noise but The Greater Spotted Woodpecker is Black Bird size and it was 40 feet away. With the 500mm lens plus x1.4 top pix is all you get! With the D810 quality you can still blow up a bit as bottom pix shows. Lens wide open as light poor.

 Have been out today in Titchfield Haven Reserve with the 500mm AF-S f4 Lens and my Nikon D500. The two work very well together and focus is lighting fast and very sharp. Pix at 1000 ISO and 1/1250 sec.
