If your shots are lousy, mine are mediocre!

[NovJoe]

It's quite a fun outing though we have limited birds to shoot...

Here are my 5 best captures... Large image warning...

#1 Grey Egret


#2 Something is motting... not sure what it is.


#3 An ant's head for a wasp's lunch.


#4 Hairy and Orange / White JS


#5 Not sure of this Spider's name... I'll nick it Trunk Spider. Hahaha...

[RyuHendrabusa]

Whoa! I like your Heron and JS shots!

[NovJoe]

Thanks!

Thanks! No worries, take your time. For me, I did little PP to the shots, just normal sharpening, crop and certain color group adjustment. Complete and post all within 2 hours .

I would say Vin is also another shooter with very sharp eyes. Your dad is also very supportive throughout our whole shoot .

Overall, very good shots with your setup.

Maybe for the Tree Crab, I would prefer having a tissue to cover the pop up flash to diffuse the direct flash so that the shadow will not be so sharp and prominent, as well as reducing a great number of hotspot areas for harsh flash lighting.

Nice!

Hey Ryan, your Heron shot looks very much like a painting with the white reflection on water!

[mindfulness]

No one has seen its giant resident monitor lizards?

Too many. Haha! Had shots of them though but not posting. So common.

Ryan, the giant one is really giant. We didn't see it that day. That fella is about 2m in size...

I'm the last guy to post.

Very strange, all max. zoom photos taken by my 55-250 in the morning are blur (donno is it my camera fault?), but seem like all macros taken are okay leh.
