Very cool. Nice sharp focus and detail. You should enter the ndao challenge. I need to find an inexpensive telephoto that greater than 300mm so I can work on matching your images. But, that lens is a unicorn.
@darchibald Have you looked at used telephotos on KEH Photo?
They are reputable and usually have a good inventory of used equipment. I think the 200-500 is fairly inexpensive BUT it's heavy. Last time I looked they had an 80-400. Or you could get a teleconverter for your 300mm. I use a 1.4 now on my 400mm and it works great unless you're in really low light. I don't think I'd go to 2x but some people do with good results. Photography is definitely not a cheap hobby!! :)
Oh this would look amazing in bw.
