I live not far from Carnforth, a little further round the coast on the Duddon Estuary. There are Osprey at Foulshaw Moss who fish at Leighton Moss. We live in a fertile wildlife area here on the Southern fringe of the Lakes. I pass that way regularly. There is a very active kite surfing community who play just off Walney Island.

My father was a regular officer in the Oxs & Bucks but was captured at Dunkirk 2 months before I was born. He retired from the army in 1962 as a Major having lost promotion with 5 yrs as a POW. These are his hands and medals taken in nursing home 2012 just before he died at 96 yrs old. Attachment: RJRW.jpg (Downloaded 33 times)

Your Dad had long fingers...was he artistic? ( I'm told by senior management that's an indicator  )My Dad was in the N African desert then part of the Italian seaborne invasion before being captured and sent to pow camp on German/Polish border. I keep meaning to go to Winchester to see if there are any records about his training....he was supposed to have been awarded top marksman for his intake. Sorry..thread drift.

Yes I had the x1.4 TC Mark 3 on all that afternoon giving a 700mm lens. It works very well, apart from loss of one stop making the lens f8 but all still works fine on auto AF-S and 25 pionts focus. No loss of image quality even at F8. (I had the old Nikon x1.4 Mark 2 TC it did reduse image quality.)

Met our new member Steve again at Titchfield Haven and he used his new 500mm lens with my D500 Nikon so I will not steal his thunder but I think he got some good shots. This is one of mine with the D850 and 500mm plus x1.4 all working well. Attachment: Snipe2264.jpg (Downloaded 24 times)

Helicopter was over reserve as well this afternoon. This is 500mm plus x1.4 extender, quite a big blow up for this. Attachment: Helicopter2341.jpg (Downloaded 22 times)

All my three shots were at 800 ISO as there was good light and shutter speed 1/1600 sec. Look forward to seeing Steves pictures, he was very impressed with the D500 and how well it worked with his new 500mm lens. Attachment: Red Shank2283.jpg (Downloaded 21 times)

Nice sharp image Graham, think shutter speed could have been lower to show some motion in the rotors. I don't think the overall image would have suffered from a slower shutter speed, given the mass of the aircraft. Easy with hindsight! I did the same thing with a similar aircraft in Glen Brittle on the Isle of Skye this summer, 1/1000sec @ f/6.3 ISO200 with the D3. The rugged Quairing rocky mountains form the background. The helicopter climbed to the top of the cliffs then flew away, quite a spectical.

Yes, good to meet up again Graham, and thank you for the opportunity to give your D500 a field test. I'll do some work on comparing images from D500 and D750 and share my thoughts in another thread. Meanwhile, that snipe featured quite heavily in my photos form yesterday. Here's one of them... Attachment: Snipe-0695.jpg (Downloaded 16 times)
