That's a high-class problem. I think getting that much detail on a bird with prey, offsets the technical preference to have the whole bird in the frame. Focus on the bird and the prey is what's important here, and you nailed it, Ed.

My thoughts exactly. That is a great shot, framing issues be damned.

BTW, are you safe from this round of fires out there, Ed?

California scrub jay. While this photo was taken in Sonoma, I now have one of these terrorizing the squirrels, insects and other birds in my back yard.

A scene that is becoming too familiar. The smoke is from fires 70 miles or so to the north of us

Bumble Bee With Pollen Leg Wrap by David Stephens, on Flickr

Handheld, Sony a7RIII, FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS, FE 2.0x teleconverter. DxO PhotoLab 2.1 processing.

Some people say the FE 2.0x teleconverter is crap!! I don't think they know what they're doing. This is on a ZOOM lens. Wait 'til I get my 400mm prime.

It's not crap at all, you just need to know you are shooting 800mm@f11 and that takes some practice

Imagine my surprise, seeing this guy perched right along the road at Pt Reyes in the middle of the afternoon. He was actually too close for my big guns to work, but luckily I had the RX10 handy. When he didn't move, I also was able to get my 1DIV with the Canon 100-400 up and got some too, but I haven't unloaded that card yet.

Ed, I showed a friend your work with the RX-10. I think that I sold another Sony!! Maybe I should say that you did.
