Juvenile Sunbird

Kei · 30th August 2003

Sunshine lasted for a couple of hours in the morning at SBG. Only managed to get one shot though as lighting was quite harsh

Trying out the kenko 2x TC, results are not bad

300 f/4 + 2x TC, 1/60, f/8, ISO400

Comments appreciated

nice use of contrasting background to highlight the bird!did you use a flash or is the sunlight reflecting from it eye!

Ic. I thought with that kind of focal length(300 x 2 x 1.5mm), you were quite far from that bird.

Hi Kei

The picture looks rather soft to me (due to 2X converter) and composition would have been better if slightly more off centre. However still a nice capture after the rain. Nice background colour.

Cheers
