DavidTriplett Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 This is the additional weekly image thread for the Nature Forum. While images posted to this thread should still be nature in theme, it may contain a small amount of human-made objects and therefore less restricted than the Monday in Nature threads. Please see this discussion for more details: Alternative weekly thread in Nature forum Each participant please post no more than just one image per weekly thread. Another from last Sunday's excursion to Antelope Island. No antelope, but the bison herd was camped out on the easterly, lee- and shadowed-side of the island, making for dim and very flat light, late in the day, and under a mostly cloudy sky. The 200-500/5.6 got a workout on this trip, on top of a TC-14E1 on the D810. The poor light required relatively high ISO, given the effective maximum aperture of f/8 with the TC. This image went further, to f/16, seeking more DoF across the herd. I'm still experimenting with this combination on both the D810 (as seen here), and the D7100. I'm getting to the point where I think the D810+TC14+200-500/5.6 is almost indiscernible in sharpness versus the D7100+200-500/5.6 without TC. (The D7100 only gives a single AF point with the TC, so it sees little use on that body.) This lens is less than a stellar performer in dim light, and I'm not sure the D810's excellent low light performance can make up for it. What experience have others had with this lens? I find it works great in good light, on both FX and DX bodies. Also, any suggestions for an alternative PP? I shoot everything in Nikon NEF raw and convert to DNG in LR5. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
