Agreed! Shooting at SBG's heliconia walk sunbirds is quite tricky coz of the bright yellow heliconia flowers reflecting the sunlight...care must be taken not to overexpose the bright yellow portions, while maintaining correct exposure for the bird....MadCat did very well here. :thumbsup:

gremlin :kok:

Well we can always space out ourselves and position at different locations...the pathway is quite long there what.

Come join us lar...long time never shoot jiao rite? Or too busy shooting birds of the other variety...

shot some shots and these are the best of today's efforts...

Hi Jason,

Wow! Great pictures. How long should the lens be for such a picture of sunbirds? 200 mm enough? or much much longer?

Flash obviously needed right?

Cheers,
