Big Gulp

This "impossibly far away" shot was taken with two extenders stacked on Big Bertha my 600mm lens: the Canon 1.4 and the Kenko Pro 300 DG 1.4 This was an approximately 1880mm shot!!!

My Uzi led me to this...

In most cases, that "sherpa" is me... Sigh... Who would have ever thought...

In the next frames, this heron finlly shallowed the fish following his 20 minute battle to position it. The fish (kind of looked ike a catfish) made a giant bulge in his throat; so he had to drink an enormous amount of water to wash it down.

What a mouthful, this is the biggest I've seen one try to swallow, but I'd guess he probably got it down. Very good quality for the long reach, though I don't envy your sherpa...or maybe that's you 8^)
