Lovely bird that Phil. I hope you are enjoying your forum and your photography. As you say, always learning.

The thing is Phil,

Sometimes you have no choice 'to bag' the shot.
It looks a little soft but none the less it is a lovely framed shot of a lovely subject and I would be pleased to have taken it

Thanks Jeff, how true about bagging the shot. I experimented this evening, trying out the different settings using the converter. ISO ranged from 500-640-800-1000, EVF off, EVF + O.75. Shutter 500-2000, Apertures 5.6-8. Cropped and un cropped. I will post up comparisons, as soon as I have uploaded to photo bucket

Looking forward to seeing how you got on Phil,
That's part of the fun, experimenting with different ways to effect the final result
