update 202410

– a big yellow and “big beak” Kingfisher, it does look slight different from Peninsular Malaysia/Thailand/India

– 3 years ago, I am testing R3 at Kuala Selangor with this bird flying and managed to have good result. Now, finally the high megapixel R5markii finally also come with good focusing system. The bird dive into pond without any notice and without any fish it flying back to nearby perch. I didnt prepare for any dive shots but managed to get the bird focus almost immediate I point my camera to the bird.

– 蛮大的黄色翡翠。婆罗洲的与西马,泰国的有点不一样。

– 3年前,我在测试佳能R3。同样的遇上这鸟飞过,拍下一系列可以呈现R3的对焦恐怖。今年,佳能吧高像素相机R5markii,提升对焦功能。如果喜欢高像素+对焦。绝对不要错过这一部相机。(可是R1 的到来,才可以对焦知道有多好)

update 202411

– A fairly common bird that simply requires a bit of patience to photograph, as it will eventually come to the flowers.

– 一种相当常见的鸟,只需稍加耐心等待拍摄,它最终会来到花丛中。

Sibuan Island

just back from Semporna, Sabah… a beautiful place where I think all photographer will love it ….

thanks our Bintulu friends share this outing with us and my gang to make this happen .. a wonderful trip even not much pictures but a trips with many good and fantastic memories …

we looking for opportunity to shoot the nightscape and sunrise on the island and managed to arrange one on 3rd day of our trip .. we decide to go to a small Island (recommended by the boatman) to have beautiful Milkyway and sunrise shot …. so we have to start leaving from ground 330am … and with small boat (that carry max 6ppl) toward a “small Island” that took us ~1hr ++ to reach … and it is almost TOTAL DARK while we travel … !!!! and it was rain too … it was so scary while we traveling to the island ..  … and no one is dare to repeat 2nd trip on next 2 days … … think back .. how could we manage to travel with small boat 1-1.5hr at total darkness … with strong wave !!!!!

and the 1st picture I capture …

Millky way under the dream house ?

 

still remember how dark when we travel to the Island … SCARY !!!!
