Birds around the wetland

[Allan Teo]

Hi
Here are some of my new photos to share.
I went to look for Giant Adult Steppes but did not find any
big ones.. however found these birds.



Beeater


Storky



Black kite


Little Plover

I found some other birds that look like the tip of the beak is
broken, but when I saw the tips move with my bino, I now
know there are some kind of clasping tips.. very neat design.

Great! what focal length did you use? and what brand of lense you used? I can hardly take such photos using 200mm focal length. The birds are always too small.

Like the first pic... clear and sharp! Thanks for sharing!!

A very good nature setup is to use canon 20d + 400 F5.6 L prime + 1.4 tc..

All the photos above was handheld with the above combo. Use ISO 400-800
and tape the 3 pins on the 1.4tc with Teflon Top tape. This forces
the 20D to autofocus.. If you shoot below ISO400 , taping the TC pins
will cause auto focus hunting.

Thanks very much for your tips. But the lense is too expensive to me.

How about using canon 10d + 300mm lense(or + TC)?
