Hi John: Well, as you say it's a little soft, but it's a nice composition
and you also got the baby owl, and it's still a memorable documentation of
the moment. You'll get it sharp next time. Cheers, Christine

Subject: PESO: Owl
I've been looking for the owl I heard earlier this month, trying to get
some idea of its habits. Yesterday, I spotted it on the nest I thought it
might use, and came back today with my camera:

K10D, Sigma 300 2.8 + Sigma APO 1.4x tele-converter, on a tripod ...
ISO 400 (I think)
The image is a bit soft. I've noticed that whenever I use the 1.4x
converter, even though it's supposed to be matched to the lens.
It just kills me. Some guy came along with a Nikon D200 & 200 mm Nikon IS
lens and chimping what he got looked a whole lot sharper than what I got.
But ... it's what I got.
