Just the one for now, should have a couple more.

I spent a time watching little fellow fishing for tadpoles on his pond hidden away in the rainforest of Mount Lewis. Just me and him.

First outing with 300mm 2.8 + 1.7TC, hand held with the aid of a nearby sapling for support.

Methinks I need a monopod !

Comments/critique welcome as ever.

Nice shot.
You could look at it either way!
Good to see someone else shooting with a 300mm 2.8. Was wondering how you got a 1.7tc but I see you're shooting Nikon.

Thanks everyone.

Yes, I noticed the rotation issue right after I posted it, my bad. Thanks for that !

It was a very peaceful beautiful place, only wish I'd had more time to spend there but had to get home so only had half an hour max.

Anthony - closer would have been swimming mate.

He did come closer actually but then went into shade.
