on the end of the branch in #1 and #2?
White-bellied Sea-eagle?
Yes, at end of branch of #1 & #2.
I was using a FA20-35mm for the shot.
When it flew off, it's was a big bird, like an eagle.
I try again this Sunday afternoon with my 300mm + converter if the bird come back.

Which Lens you're using and wat is the focal length, anyway i'm also trying hard to learn to to shoot bird photo. Any tip from the shifu here?
I'm not shifu, I play play only... :sweat: There're a few real Pentaxian birding shifu here, maybe you can figure out who....
Not willing to invest in a proper birding lens, this was shot with the DA55-300 at 300mm @f7.1, and further cropped to 2/3 or its original size. So you can get pretty much the same thing with your Tamron. Try that out and see what you think of it. There're better lenses out there for birding than all these xx-300mm, but they all cost much more.... The rate of keepers when birding is generally fairly low (at least for me), so don't get discouraged.

Thanks Kesha.
Alphabets left out to dry after a wash.
A50/2 at f2.
I find myself going for this lens more often than the two 50/1.7 I have. I just seem to get more consistency out of f2 (either M or A).

Just to make this post legit in this thread, what's the slowest shutter speed you've successfully (no need to be sharp result) used? Mine is 1/6s..

You mean hand held & at what ISO?
To take unsharp image at slow shutter is easy, right?
I tried hand held at 1 sec with ASA400 with film when I was just 19. I chased after the ching-gay procession to East Coast Road armed with K1000 + M50mm/f2.0.
coz..similar to your shooting style?
Hahaha ... now that you say it!
Ya, many contributing factors, but certainly pick up a few more shots recently.

After getting comment/advice at IR sub-forum that I should include the reflection of the trees. This morning was the perfect day.
This one looks really cool. But I think it'd look even better if you crop away the right black portion, probably the extreme top left tree as well :think:
