Hi bangkuangz,

Not knowing your setup & that you took this in a jiffy, I'll say that is a very good attempt.

Some fill-in flash will make the pic better, but I supposed you don't have time to fit the external flash, you can try the built-in flash the next time such oppt strikes.

Hi thanks for the comment .. to be honest I don't have an external Flash to start with

... agree with your comment on the internal flash duh! ..

Anyway .. this is the best shot out of 5 (in which most of them either blur or not nice

)

Hi Y0ngcheng,

Thanks for the comment

.... not much skill involve here but luck ... try to re-take the picture the other day but no birds show up

..

Anyway I think you will have better luck if you go to SBG early morning.

Fill-in flash is important in that it also highlight the details of the bird. Patience and luck do play an imporant part too. Keep shooting.
