update 202411
– This small bird, commonly heard at Fraser’s Hill, Cameron Highlands, Sumatra’s Kerinci, and Genting Highlands, is often challenging to spot or photograph despite its frequent calls. However, at specific feeding spots, it tends to become tame and reliably appears when humans approach, displaying behavior similar to the Pygmy Cupwing. Notably, it often moves with its wings raised, making its behavior quite distinctive.
– With the new Canon R1’s Continuous Pre-recording feature, every time the bird perches, I half-press the shutter to keep it in focus. As soon as the bird moves or raises its wings, I fully press the shutter, capturing everything that occurred 0.5 seconds prior. This ensures I never miss the perfect moment.
– 这种小鸟常见于福隆港、高原金马仑、苏门答腊克林芝和云顶高原,叫声非常常听见,但却不容易看到或拍到。尽管如此,在某些喂食点,这种鸟会变得非常驯服,只要有人接近就会出现。它的行为与小鸫莺相似,尤其是移动时常常保持翅膀上扬,非常有特色。
– 借助全新的佳能R1连续预录功能,每当小鸟停留时,我会半按快门以保持对焦。只要小鸟开始移动或抬起翅膀,我便全按快门,将前0.5秒发生的所有画面记录到存储卡中,确保不错过任何精彩瞬间。

[this is not a test to compare among brands … just a plain test on tc effect]
many years back before I upgrade to Canon mark2 tele lenses … I always try to avoid tele-convertor 2x … max I used is 1.4x but than still minimum use due to the quality drop is too much to worry ..
since then I upgrade to CANON ef 500/600 F4 IS2 and tc 1.4x and 2x mark3 … I have my own rule to apply the tc to get my acceptable quality picture .. and here I would share some of my capture (and I am not trying to share 1-2 case picture .. pictures sharing here are based on my common standard of shooting result) …
to make good use of the TC mark3 version .. my own rules
– enough light condition.. I can make use of any TC either 1.4 or 2x
– low light condition , try to avoid 2x tc
– very bad light condition , no TC will be use and use crop picture for final output
Update 2014 April 20 :
Orange-Breasted Trogon 橙胸咬鵑
– when the quality of air consist of moisture/mist … we can see it affect the quality (this also apply without TC)
Common Kingfisher
100% crop
both pictures above shooting on bean beg , ISO1600 , with only resize and no Post Processing done …
– for me the result is far acceptable for using the 2xtc …
