These are some good shots although only shooting with 180mm x 1.4TC. Well done

I also encountered a hornbill at Fort Canning before but were unable to get a clear shot due to its head was blocked by the branches

Cheers

Nice catch

I spoted them at Ubin also sometime back but couldn't get a decent shot

My fav goes to #3 and #4

Great work, the shots turned out sharp and nicely composed. Good reward for getting your shoes and jeans muddy !

...has our friend with the 200 -500 mm have any photos to share on the hornbill ? I am really keen to see what he has captured.....

Ecellent job

considering your focal length. How far you were from the birds ? Just my personal opinion, you may want to adjust the level a bit to give more contrasty look.

I guess the distance was 15-20m .. ??? The pics were fresh out of the cam, didn't do any curves/levels/saturation/hue etc .... just resize and sharpen. Will do more adjustment later tonight (if I have time) and post them here...

Excellent catch there.

Shows that it is possible to get a good catch too even with 250mm length. #3 and #4 are v. nice.

A more contrasty version.... (did I overdo it this time??)
