My Garden Birds 2

A young Brown-throated Sunbird - anthreptes malacensis malacensis

It was a lucky day when this Brown-throated Sunbird was friendly enough for me to take a decent pictures.
I never actually got this close until yesterday. My best attempt of this species was actually a Temmink's Sunbirds and were really elated with my own work and this time Brown-throated is the second photography that I am happy to share with. This time I used the D300 attach to Kowa TSN603 and was experimenting with ISO and got some interesting result. But still have not come up with the best combinations. If there anyone out there has the same setup, please come forward and share your techniques.


Happy Birding

My Garden Birds




I wanted to practice more with my picture taking especially when you are digiscoping with D300 and the only way was putting some bait and it worked.

This two were quite obliging.

Late updating, few trips with Jason and CK. We had a good sight of the Whitehead Spider Hunter. They took pictures (digiscoping). Have not seen it yet.
