Just a House Finch

I received a new TC-20EII teleconverter today and I just had to try it out. I was working indoors all day today and didn't get a chance to get outside until this evening. All I could manage was a trip to the feeder in my back yard, but its better than nothing. This bird had a really beautiful array of colors... quite different from most of this evenings visitors.

The image was taken with the Nikkor 70-200mm VR and TC-20EII with the SB-800 flash. It looks to be a pretty good combination. This image is posted at about 1/4 original resolution. I can't wait for a better test!

Cheers,
Tyler

I was forced to spend the day putting in temperature sensors on the Provo River today, and guess what I stumbled across? These two had no idea I was there, and I stayed low until they left (not wanting to be stomped into the ground if it was a bad day for either). grin
