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.
