I was able to get out again and also had most of the settings correct, only one left and that is BBF. All photos were taken on a tripod with the Canon 5D R and Canon 100-400mm Vii with the Canon 1.4 adapter Viii which equates to 560mm. All details will be with each photo and ALL C&C is welcome. As far as BBF goes I have read some videos but need to do additional research. Thanks for stopping by.

CLF: Wonderful images! Thank you so much for setting forth the specifics, camera, lens, etc. That shows me what that camera/lens combination is capable of in the hands of an expert photographer. Davidb1879.

David, I appreciate your comments. However I am far from an expert. I have used a camera since the 66s-70s I am just an avid amature.

Thank you, Sundar. It is getting easier each day I use it. Your comments, smiley and two thumbs up are appreciated.

Super shots of your beautiful birdies, Greg!! I use the same combination and am well pleased with the results. Much better detail imo than the 600mm lens I was using. I won't mention the brand, but you probably know which one I'm talking about. After I sent the 600 to the company for servicing, results were consistently soft.

Donna, I am still experimenting with different lens combinations. I have yet to try my 300mm Canon prime with the 2x. I do like having the ability to use the different lenths the zoom function gives me. So far my Tamron 150-600mm does a good to great job but the combo I used with this post is slightly better. Thank you for your critique. I will continue to try out different combinations which is a whole lot of fun in itself.

Another great set Gary with that new camera body. Glad to see you're getting out. I've had trouble spending 3-4 hours out in this heat. Supposed to cool down now. Your experimenting with lens/body combos is really paying off with some great shots.

Jack, thank you for your comments and so far I really like the new camera. I am still on a learning curve and will be for a couple of months.

Thank you, Doc. The cooler weather and lower humidity is really a helping me out. Like I told Donna, I am having a lot of fun learning hich lens or set of lenses is best and for what kind of photography.

Thank you, Gary. Like I have said in the other posts, I am having a whole lot of fun working with a new body and format. None of my other cameras were set up like the 5Dxx series is.

Sylvia, thank you for your comments smiley and thumb up. I am enjoying the camera but am also a little frustrated with all the new controls. The learning process can be frustrating.
