This was as close as I dared get to this 6 year old male Peregrine falcon. I'm not sure if he was watching his reflection in my lens or was just waiting to grab my finger. Either way, I had to respect that steely look not to mention his sharp beak.

Goose Stepping
I borrowed a friend's 2x teleconverter and tried it on my Canon XTI with my Canon 75-300 zoom. It gave me a really tight zoom but I had to manually focus when I pushed the lense past it's 200 point.
I went down to a couple of ponds where I knew the Canada Geese would have their goslings and played with the lense/teleconverter for about an hour to see what it would do for me. This is one of the shots untouched except for crop/frame/title. EXIF says ISO 400, aperture 5.0 zoom 160(x2=320). Shutter 1/200, hand-held because I had left the tripod behind.
I couldn't resist adding a caption to this one.
