I was checking what a 800mm focal length looked like, by cropping from 400mm, for reasons. I seem to have caught suspicious looks from the local bird-life, they think it is all rather weird.

That Jay on the ground in the second photo apparently only shows up when I have a 200mm lens with a 2x extender on my camera. That's not ideal. One day I will get a better photo...


  • Both photos: Canon EOS R10, 400mm.
  • Pigeon: Canon RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM, 1/200s, F9, ISO 250
  • Jay: Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L USM II + EF 2x Extender III, 1/640, F5.6, ISO 3200

A bird (a Eurasian Jay) standing on the ground which consists mainly of pebbles. It appears to be looking up in surprise, or it could actually be looking down for food.

For related reasons I was checking whether F11 would be useable on a cloudy day. This turned some heads.

I started to put some photos on Flickr again. E.g. here is that Jay (or similar) showing up a few days ago when I had the same lens combination which resulted in so much chromatic aberration I had to turn the photo to black and white.
