Birding with 70-200 and 1.7tc

[rawpaw18]

Been trying to get clutter free bg's. Pretty pleased with latest results.
Shot in raw edited in LR3. Being able to get just a little closer to my subjects with tc has been quite helpful.

Thanks Baxter

nice shots, so its the VR 1 or 2 (just considering to get me one as well)

Thanks it is the VR1, not your typical birding setup but at the time it was only $309.
Now they have moved up in price to near $500 in under 3 months.
