I may post one more of a different cormorant on a different rock, but
for now this will have to do. I must say I learned two valuable lessons
both of which I kind of already knew.
1. It really, really really helps sharpness when shooting a ~500mm lens
and converter combination, if, you set IS to 500mm, (and not 70mm which
is what all these were pretty much set to).
2. When photographing black birds, with back lighting some kind of fill
light would probably help exposures a lot. Unfortunately I didn't a
flash because I didn't expect to be shooting black birds with back
lighting, not that my AF280T supports high sync speed, or would be
powerful enough to supply enough light at 500mm ranges if it did.
