Nice shot but I would have loved to see the image before noise reduction.

 

[ortega]

haha

setup is simple

D70, Tokina ATX 80-200, SB800 & monopod

i feel the flower spoils the image (position just not right)
the flower under the tail also disturbs me

Image b4 noise reduction? i don't think you want to see it.

i kinda like the flower leh, the lines and color for me help to heighten the interest

so u were using the tokina (at max 200?) on the monopod with manual focusing, could i have a little more detail? :sweat: like what ISO and SB800 (mounted on cam?) setting u using (TTL, AA, Manual? diffuser dome, wide angle deflector? angle of tilt) - im v.weak at flash, really trying hard to learn to use my SB800 better, thanks master!

yes at 200mm on monopod with manual focus
uso would be as low as you can go to obtain a good shutter speed (it changes with the light)
Yes SB800 mounted on Cam (used fill flash, not as main light)
this shot was set as TTL-BL

best way to learn is th RTFM and try out the different settings and see the result
my also still learning, not a master :embrass:

Wah... Sifu, you going into Birds too? Good catch (bird in full view) but seem a bit of blur.

haha lens limitation, no choice bank account is not ready yet
long time ago interested in birding

tried the Bigma and the 170-500mm for a budget birding lens
not too bad but must have good light to see it's full potential

till then got to be satisfied with sunbirds

a short walk in loyang
