update 202402

– another bird that we seldom missed since pandemic “covid” (previously seem more shy). This bird just pop up when we trying to locate the partridge. Cute, small and fast

– “side effect” of the CANON RF200800, this bird small, fast and always in lowlight .. end up ISO20000 needed

– 自从疫情后,我们几乎没错过这鸟。在哪都见到,可是疫情前可是每次就见它在地上跑来跑去的。

– 佳能的200800,就有这个弱点。当拍这种小,快,在暗的鸟。。ISO 就简简单单的用上20000

update 202402

– it is not a new site for this feeding station, 12-13 years ago I got my Blue-headed Pitta similar site and it is not feeding .. the bird just there and it was very fun trip with few good buddies .. Andy Pau, Jasnnie, Ah Lee, Shunfa .. this time we went for feed !!! but the bird came while we arrive and came infornt of me ~4-5feet away without food or hide !!! But after wait for 3 hours .. it came with a chick few times but not the male .. it is a tough time spent with almost 8 hours for Blue-Banded and 3 hours for no male … but this female really beautiful and I think I never got any good picture of female of this bird

– 这个点我在12-13年前就来过与好几位好朋友来拍一样的鸟。当时是没喂食的,就在哪等。鸟自己来跳来跳去。那是的感觉与现在的“等”鸟真的很不一样。可是话说这鸟是喂食的,可是在我们到达时这鸟自己跳来5-6尺前。。。我们没帐篷,虫。虽然很容易拿下,可是还是没等到公鸟。对着斗湖的八色鸫有点恐惧感。。。蓝斑等了~8小时没等到,这鸟也等了3小时没公鸟。可是对我自己来说还是不错,我应该没拍过漂亮的母鸟。

update 202402

– a quick out for continue the CANON R5 with CANON RF200800mm, can see the advantage of high megapixel when the lighting is good. But most of my situation is extreme low light … so it is very subjective …

– this picture is ~75% crop, can see the details

– 佳能 R5, RF200800 是非常有争议,我们可以讲它们是非常好的拍鸟神器也可以讲是不适合。R5 高像素,在马来西亚雨林。用起来非常吃力,感应ISO 通常都非常高 8000以上。RF200800 光圈很小,造成2个好的器材。可能在我们不够光的热带雨林造成争议。 可是,在价格方面绝对是非常好的拍鸟神器。

– 看看这鸟的细节。。这照片大概75%crop .. 细节还是很恐怖。

– this is a very good example of need more fps .. so not always correct we do not need .. I normally shoot ~15fps in most of the camera by default … when this bird sudden dive in I am too late to change the fps .. and most of the frame without very good “eye contact” or I would say too less frame within the dive action (~7frames)

– 现在相机都说有多快。20,30,40,60,120,240fps .. 蛮多人讲,我们都不需要。。。不是很重要,其实我们大部分时间都不需要。可是有想过吗,有当然比没好啊。当我们需要时却没有,就像我这样。15张一秒,错过蛮多看过来的一幕啊。
