Very nice clean shots.

3rd one for me.

erwinx · 13th June 2003

here's one more. i prefer to retain the original aspect ratio but for this pic, a squarish crop seemed to work much better.

Clean background and lovely shots. Kinabalu seems a good place for birding too. BTW how many species did you managed to capture.

Cheers

Beautiful birds, clean background, and accurate exposure (especially the first shot).

second

for braving the weather!

Hi erwinx,

Is that possible to share your equipment and setting? I believe you must be waited for quite some time to see these birds? I can't see any while I'm there

Hope to get some experience from you and next trip will try to shoot some bird if possible.

Hi Agpx4,

I actually browsed your kinabalu pics before going to kinabalu

The sunbird was taken outside the restaurant (lucky) and the Indigo Flycatcher was a regular outside the Nepethenes villas so there was no secret technique in photographing these birds. I did not manage to photograph the Bornean specialties and had to be content to the commoner birds...

A long lens is required. a 300 f/4+2xTC would be the starting point...

bravo. I love the 2nd one.

thoa_rs · 15th June 2003

Truly a professional effort.

azone · 15th June 2003

Superb series! The finest from you I've ever seen. The 3rd pic is a winner! Well done!
