Wonderful images. I really like the IQ of the 100-500 and 1.4 TC.

I wanted to take pictures of a Bald Eagle nest from a considerable distance. I couldn't get closer because the nest is on the other side of the South Saskatchewan River. I walked as close as I could over rounded river rock to the edge of the water to close the distance somewhat. I used a monopod to give me some stability while photographing using my RF 100 to 500 lens and my 1.4 Extender. It was not possible for me to carry a tripod the distance I had to walk. I was very pleased with the quality of image considering the distance involved. Our local wilderness park wants to use the images for education and promotion purposes.

If you were using the 1.4 extender how come the F stop shows F8 , it become F10 with the extender.. Great shots non the less.

I found that a bit of a mystery. Lightroom is recognizing my extender now but wasn't initially so that may be the reason.
