Wildlife photography UK. Kingfisher part 2. Sigma teleconverter TC1401.
I go back to the bird hide to try and get a better picture of the Kingfisher with a Sigma tc1401-1.4× teleconverter which my wife got me for Christmas, I used the teleconverter for video and stills and I'm quite impressed with the results.
I did go out a week before Christmas on a foggy Sunday which remained foggy all day , i did record the event but unfortunately the sd card corrupted my first ever. I tried to recover the files with a file recovery program but only managed to recover 4 of the 20 files , then I tried an mp4 file fixer and that failed also so there is no Christmas video but the images I took which I'm quite pleased with come up at the end of the video so please watch to the end.
Consider donating a litre of fuel for the car . to help with running cost of the channel.

Bit late to the party, i go there a lot, lovely little place, and can be so quiet, that is no people, you can loose yourself there, will be watching more of your vids / post
Well if you see me there at some point say hello and we could chew the fat out of photography lol...
The tele converter certainly brings you right in closer , a fruitful days work watching and photographing the kingfisher 📷👍
Really pleased with the teleconverter Dave although a bit of an issue with close focus it struggled to focus at minimum 3metre but above that the focus was quick and accurate and no reduction in image quality as such . Really pleased. Thank you for watching.
I've got to make one of those "fry pods," not for wildlife but for macro. Thanks for the idea and Happy New Year!
Lol . I also use it for macro . It's ideal. Although I might change the ballhead to a smaller one, like the smallrig ballhead.
What relaxing pastime Joe, great to see you enjoying yourself. Happy days ahead. Atb Harry
I do enjoy it in the hides it is , I find relaxing . There is a lot more wildlife in that reserve including otters . Thank you for watching.
Thank you for sharing your adventure!
Thank you for taking the time to watch.
@@Wessexphotography You're welcome!
Great capture Joe, nice one
Thank you Mark . I was really pleased with the results. Thank you for watching.
Fantastic photos 👌
I remember this day well. It was a really good experience to see the Kingfisher up close and fishing . I'm glad I got the teleconverter it seriously paid its way that day. Thank you for watching.
Nice shots all the best for 2022🍻
Cheers James . 🍻 all the best to you.
Happy New year Joe. Great video/ pictures.
Thank you. All the best to you.
Hello, what is the model and brand of the ball joint that you use in the video? Thank you for your reply. and Merry Christmas.
It's an old frying pan with an old ball head fixed to it. It's home made..
Do you also use the in built 1.3 crop on top of the teleconverter im interested as i have the same set up i aint got a teleconverter yet tho
I have used the 1.3x crop with this lens without the teleconverter, as you know it shoot at 12mp 8fps with the 1.3x added basically a d300s on steroids , I no problem using the 1.3x crop but have not used it with the teleconverter yet. Next time I'm out I will put it to the test. So if you do the math with the normal 1.5x aps-c crop on a 400mm = 600 x 1.4 teleconverter =840xthe 1.3crop mode= 1092mm which is insane. Not sure how the picture quality will be though would be interesting to find out.. thank you for watching.
