Birds in the backyard
Recently bought a D4 and today was the right weather to quickly try it out using the Sigma 150-600 (partially with TC-1401). All mounted on Berlebach UNI-16 and Wimberley WH200. The common blackbird was shot with 3200 ISO. Impressive performance of the camera. Below shot was done using the TC-1401 converter resulting in 850mm focal […]

Birds in the backyard
Some shots using the D2x with Nikkor 200-400f4 plus TC-17II. Mounted on Berlebach UNI-16 with Wimberley WH200. For the first time the European Robin came somewhat to the front.

Some shots from Altenbruch close to the lighthouse “Dicke Berta”. All shots using the Nikon D3 with Tamron 150-600 mounted on Berlebach UNI-16 and Wimberley WH200. Two groups of Barnacle Geese flew by (click on one of the images below for more from that gallery).

Another very nice and sunny day. A bit cold but was doable for 2h standing outside and watch the birds at the feeder place. All pictures using the D800 and the Tamron 150-600 at f6.3 on Feisol CT-3442 with Arch Swiss D4 Head.
