On a whim last year, I purchased a used 1.4 teleconverter in anticipation I would use it along with my 500mm on my z9 (if it ever gets here). I tried it a bit on my D850 but nothing serious. This week I was out on my favorite bike trail when I noticed an Osprey sitting on a street light. Not exactly a pleasing pose but (s)he was nicely in the open, the light was very good and I thought this might be a good time to give the tele another try. I had no idea (s)he had a fish until it took flight. I shot a sequence of maybe 20-25 pictures but most, while in focus, were pretty boring due to the light/electric posts in the area. Two of the shots were clear of all these distractions. This is one of them.

Well nabbed!! I’m confused though … your thread title says D500… was it with D500 or D 850?

Yeah I can see that. I meant to say I tried out the converter on my D850 when I first got it last year. It stayed in my bag until this week. The shot above was taken with the d500

That's a nice shot. Nice angle on the bird, good wing position, and of course the fish. Well done.
