Thank you Larry, Thrilla and Alan for your feedback and suggestions and my apologies for taking so long to reply, work and life have been hectic

So taking everything said into consideration I have been out again for some more practice. I shot in manual so I had better control over the shutter speeds, and set aperture to 5.6 a couple of times. Had ISO set to auto with max now 1600, previously had it set to 800.  I admit I am still confused about the effects the teleconverter has on the aperture but 5.6 or 5.0 seems to be working ok. Of course the better the light the better things work

The following are some recent shots while hiking my local track. If I get everything right the results are fine, any photos that don't work out are because I have not paid attention to what I am doing

Again many thanks for the advice, I am happy to keep using the teleconverter. I have even slipped in a 10 pic pano I put together using this combo. All photos are the full size end result, even with the extra reach I find myself cropping in a it. The pano of course has been resized, the original is quite large

Cheers

Jason
