Congrats on your first GBH. Awesome birds.

These are good shots, liv2trip, but I think your teleconverter is softening your image. I got one today and I'm probably going to send it back.

I think your right Tupe and besides the softening of the image I also get that blue haze sometimes I,m not gonna send it back I'm trying to decide between spending the money on a 20D or saving a grand and getting the Rebel XT any thoughts on that ??? thanx for your comments Tupe

Good job on the GBH liv2trip! I like the colors, but i agree, it's a little soft. Keep going back there for more.

I keep trying to get a shot of them out at the local reservoir, but nothing worth sharing so far...:(

Nice shots!
