Went up to an area north of Perth, Western Australia with some friends to play in some sand dunes, so I took the opportunity to try out my new 2x teleconverter on my Canon 7D and Sigma F2.8 70 - 200mm lens.

It seemed to work okay and I am more than happy with it - especially as it only cost $150 AUD :grinning:

Thanks and yes it is a great area those dunes.

Unfortunately the images don't do them justice in regards to their size as they are a lot steeper than they look :grinning:

Unfortunately I didn't do any video on this trip; however, I will be back up that way in a few months, so I will do a video then.

Great shots, I'm also using the Canon 7D and (Canon) 70-200mm F/2.8 lens setup, I love it but am thinking about buying another camera.

I would love to upgrade as well but I am currently 'Gainfully Unemployed' / semi-retired so money is a little tight but the 7D is working well and I still love it :grinning:
