LIon Pride and a Double Stack

This shot was taken from our Cabin at Olifants Camp in Kruger National Park.

I am not a big believer in double stacking my teleconverters on the big guns as it’s much harder to get a sharp shot this way.

This shot is with the 1D Mark 3, with a 500/4 Prime lens, a 2x Teleconverter (mark 2 model) and a 1.4x teleconverter. The Mark 2, 2x, can be tacked, the older model cannot.

Every now and then we break the rules. Sometimes it works. I think this one works not too badly

Ian - Hi Rob,
Rules are ment to be broken. Only those who are prepared to go outside the square will get that shot that is special………It was worth breaking the rules….
