Batu Pahat , Johor, Malaysia | liewwk

am finally available to go out shoot a bit and go back to my favor spot for Milky Way for west coast Peninsular Malaysia .

 

– one of my plan picture with Kelong light ON to attract fish/prawns to go into the net

– another special light (stars .. milky way) attract photographers in this case

 

previously I also shared some Johor spots for sunset, slow shutter and Milky way ..

CANON EOS 1dx Mark1 vs 1dx Mark2

Did 2 round of simple test outdoor but the lighting condition seem not a good equal compare .. so finally managed to have both indoor to test both 1dx Mark1 and 1dx Mark2

very simple test

1. AV mode, F8 , meter at same area

2. ISO100 with exp 0, -1,-2,-3,-4,+1,+2

3. ISO200, 400,800,1600,3200,4000,6400,12800,25600

4. all with select portion to 100% crop

5. all picture open with Adobe Camera Raw (CC) and NO Noise reduction, sharpen

6. liveview with timer 2s shooting, on tripod

 

IMG_5657 fb IMG_5658 fb

 

Physically , not much change but it do have the Liveview Video-Still switch which one of the MAJOR missing of mark1 !!!!!!!!!!!

Below are the pictures sample

*** not really accept noise level >6400 so just share the full size picture of 25600 … no 100% crop pictures

 

###############################################

for the simple test , my personal feel on the 1dxm1 vs 1dxm2

1. mirror shake seem less on mark2 especially the slow fps which is 6fps . mark2 seem seem almost no mirror shake at all

2. AF for liveview seem much faster for mark2 , non liveview seem faster too but not significant as the liveview AF

3. ISO from 100-3200 seem almost same at exposure 0 , mark2 may be slightly better than mark1

4. all pictures shoot within same environment , same ISO, same shutter speed, same aperture … but mark2 seem slight brighter especially on shadow area .

5. ISO4000-25600 …. hmmmm mark1 seem better at shadow area ?

6. for shadow area recovery for -1 stop seem not far different . but for 2,3,4 stops under… mark2 have better software capability to recover better …. much better ….

Sittidae series: Nuthatch | 鳾科 | liewwk Nature 2-1 [update 20240624]

a bird that tiny, moving around tree body for food … move fast most of the time …

1. Velvet-fronted Nuthatch, 绒额䴓, 絨額䴓, Sitta frontalis, ビロウドゴジュウカラ, PEPATUK BIASA

– common found from lowland up to 1000+- m from SEA level

– move fast around the tree

update 202406

– a bird that normally active, moving fast and high on tree trunk… as usual this is fast and active … but we saw it just ~5-7 feet from use .. a great view of this bird ..

– 通常这活跃的小鸟终是在树身上移动很快。如常还是很快,可是这次很近(5-7尺)。还是近距离看鸟爽。

2. Blue Nuthatch, 蓝䴓, 藍䴓, Sitta azurea, ズグロゴジュウカラ, PEPATUK GUNUNG MELAYU

– another bird moving nonstop

– found higher altitude from SEA level so far

update 202406

– a good season for this beautiful bird ? when we having ours Canon-Gitzo Photography sharing session, we saw this 2 days in the row and actually heard it more than twice while we have quite limited time for the birding.

– an active & beautiful bird that not that rare but just need some luck to see it.

– 非常活跃,漂亮的小鸟。不稀有,因为小活跃。也是属于群体活动(与其他鸟)遇上这鸟需要点运气。

– 在我们2天1夜佳能+捷信摄影分享营。见到2次+听到4-5次。可能季节到了?

202406, Bukit Fraser, Pahang, Malaysia

#####

update 202303

– a tour with some main target birds, Blue Nuthatch is one of the main target. After 2 days trying, finally had a good look at 3 birds.

– 这一团有些指定目标鸟。这蓝䴓是最重要之一。幸好,在福隆港第2天终于看到这么漂亮的小鸟。

202304, Pahang, Malaysia

update 20221030

– a lucky morning, due to some reason. Guests decided fly back to home before tour end. But lucky morning before any rain, humid. got This beautiful bird, Lesser Yellownape, Bay Woodpecker and others just not far after we drive.

– as usual fast moving bird but with the new AI AF, most the frame lock focus on the head/eye of this tiny and fast bird.

– 幸运的一个早上。客人因私人原因需要提早飞回澳洲。可是,上天还是让他们见到这特别的鸟。

– 一样小而快的小鸟。幸好新的佳能对焦能力大部分都是对焦到头部/眼部

Large Wren Babbler 大鹪鹛 | liewwk

Another bird into my frame (picture lifer) , beside Marbled Wren-Babbler .. this is another big wren-babbler .. and again it behave like other Wren-Babbler , skittish, flying around, calling non stop , calling laugh .. etc ….

As usual, saw this bird in the forest but most the time without camera or just flip seconds ..

另一只令人又爱又恨的鸟。总是跳来跳去,见人飞,也喜欢叫。就如其他 鹪鹛

– it calling non stop while we waiting for other birds nearby .. and when we try trace it for photo no success for ~1hour .. end up we chase it with handheld !!!! … in the dark forest

For Peninsula Malaysia a blackbird that loves to moving fast in the forest …. we make a trip just for this bird .. but found out it is not really active but was lucky it appear for food just 10-15min before we leaving … ~33cm

For Borneo ~28cm , smaller . Brownish color but behave same, moving fast and making a lot of noise.

update 202408

– finally all 5 special 2 bird family tours done for Rail-Babbler & this Jayshrike .. this year lucky to have 100% . This bird normally quite straight forward but it missing for the 1st day and only heard but without show us . Day2, early morning when we step down from car, immediate I heard the call within 2 minutes we got the bird and Bingo !!

– 今年最后一次特别鸟团(都是来看2只特别鸟,白眉长颈鸫+冠鸦)。今年很快的就要过了。5次100%达标,蛮顺利。这冠鸦,通常很容易。可是第一天完全没机会看到,就听了几声。还好第二天,一下车就听到。还不到2种就看到拍打。多么幸运。

– another very good encounter from Borneo, which smaller and color different from Peninsular Malaysia/Thailand species (which is bigger and Black)

– not really sure just me, it getting difficult to have good view for this bird at Borneo .. it just get more shy compare to before pandemic

– 在婆罗洲行,另一只突然听到,看到,拍到的好鸟。与马来西亚西马,泰国的颜色不一样+小一点。

– 不知道是我而已还是有点变化,疫情前蛮容易看到。可是疫情后,几乎那个地方都很害羞。

update 202406

– a uncommon special bird family, a very black and active bird to be seen. It is not easy almost whole Malaysia except some South part of Malaysia

– we keep heard and miss this special bird for a long tour but it is so easy at the end of the extension.

– 蛮不普通的其中一种鸟种。非常害羞,活跃。几乎都不容易见到,除了在西马南部

– 19天观鸟团,就见到它飞来飞去。非常不容易,就在加长部分非常容易就见到了。
