likely to be a Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker (Dicaeum cruentatum)

limwhow: i had my tri and monopod with me. I wanted to get familiar with Sigma OS, as mentioned by some guys, it will take a second or 2 to activate. And it is true. commonjunks: you only need to hold it less than a minute to take the shots you want. Sighn1982 : OS was on and set to mode...

Here's my take at Zoo, all shots handheld at 500mm. These shots were on my trusted D80, i have tried my lens on my colleague D700 today. With higher ISO such as 6400, I can safely go on faster shutter even on low light conditions. My next body upgrade...so it will be.

#10 is my fav. :)

Nice thermal soar shot, far away and it is still sharp. My fav is their courtship/mating, seen once last year and they were at quite an altitude. Speed dive, roll, talons display, and etc.... similar to this. ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tufnqWNP9AA&NR=1

Very nice details close up and rich in colours. :thumbsup: 1 ft is too close for comfort for the snake (intimidated) and you to react in case it attacks. Flash will not affect vipers vision, but rather vipers sense its victim by body heat. your photo, #5 ready to strike. just see how...

briefly, just share with you what i think. 1. handshake blur i see handshake blur, unless the rest agree it is motion blur. lol. f2.8 1/1000, don't just snap. you'll have more problem when doing slow shutter handheld. no editing, only 100% crop from your dustbins shot. 2. focus lock...

Wow! I didn't know it actually speared through the fish, thought it catches it with its beak all these while. Nice action captured. :)

:thumbsup: well narrated.

your photo doesn't really reflect the subject, "Religion" did have something nostagic though. :)

thanks for ideas. :bigeyes: i just keep them separately after using it maybe because i have never remove the filters off the lenses since i bought it early last year. :)

Hi, I'd just like to share with you my recent findings. Usually, I'd just leave my B+W UV filters on the lens and store it in the dry cabinet. During cleaning today, I found that the inner side of the UV filter has fungus and it is on my 2 filters on 2 different lens. To conclude, the...

thanks for sharing, your closeup are really stunning! :thumbsup:
