| | | Through the window +converter
I have a perch set up with a feeder in the garden not far from one of my windows. I'm having real trouble getting the birds to come to it when the window is open. When the window is shut they love it, taunting me me by lining up to have their picture taken, dancing around etc...you know how it is. As soon as the window is open they are gone again.....
Sooo..rather than let them get away with it I thought I'd have a bash at taking pictures through the double glazing. As I only have a 300mm lense I also had a 1.4 converter attached. I appreciate these arent exactly top quality but I think it goes to show that in the right light you can get ok results in such a situation.
Pictures taken on a D50, sigma 70-300 with a Kenko 1.4 DG Pro converter, tripod used, no flash (obviously  ) . Also pushed them through neat image to compensate for ISO400 used.
Any comments or tips for improving?    
Thanks for looking

I'd say those shots are very good considering you're shooting through double glazing and a 1.4 converter. Nice work.

Don't think you could improve them, they look nice, with no reflections or anything. |

Super piccies especially through a window - your windows must be much cleaner than mine! Great to see.

Excellent pics.
Have you tried covering the window opening with some camo or scrim net? It does the trick for me in a hide that I visit which is very close to the water. I just cover the opening and anything that swims past doesn't seem to notice me. |

Very nice images. Surprising how good some shots are, when taken through double glazed windows. Always worth a try. I have taken several this way including a Sparrow Hawk and Woodpeckers.
