Chris,

I admire these voracious hunters! Watch them patrol. they often come back to the same resting places.

Nice! Great detail and sharpness. Shooting specs?

 

[Chris Calohan II]

70-200 2.8 w/1.7 extender, 1/100 @ 2.8 ISO 100

or that was this one and the other is the 100mm Tokina 2.8 Macro shot at the same settings. I did a boo-boo a couple of weeks back and somehow fouled an entire picture set so I can't go back and check the data.

Interesting; I might have thought there was a smaller aperture. Regardless, nice shot.

And I actually like the second one even more - love the detail and color on the head/eye.

Fully agreed. Good job Chris!

2.8 is as much as I can squeeze out of that lens. I'm almost positive the second one is from the Tokina which I've found to be a nice piece of glass.

Just to clarify, I meant smaller aperture, like f/8 or f/11, to increase the depth of field, which is at its narrowest when shooting wide-open (f/2.8 on the 70-200, although now that I think about it, it would be a stop smaller than that, perhaps 4.0 or so, because of the teleconverter).

I think it equates out to 4.5 but my math skills are suspect..\
