This was a test of my 3rd-party 1.4x teleconverter, on my 300mm lens (f/6.3, 1/320th/sec, ISO 4500). Works fine, nothing objectionable in the image quality.

Inspired by my friend Chris, I made a cocktail out of the dregs of the Thanksgiving cranberry sauce. I went in a different direction than he did: a few Tbsp of cranberry sauce, shaken with mezcal, Cointreau, and a generous amount of Peychaud’s bitters. Pretty good.
