Besides the colourful head, the wings has got blue color too and not completely black (the id of this bird is Black Backed Kingfisher aka Oriental Dwarf KF)
This shot is not an easy one as the bird is hiding deep inside the bushes with a smal glimsp of sunlight shinning thru which makes the exposure tricky.
I fired few shots and all of them were over-exposed. Tried lowering the EV and still not ideal. In the end shot with bracketing + mirror lockup and stack the shots in PS.

Last month is a fruitful month for me though I only shoot 2 times:-
Another bird I waited for 2 yrs, the Asian Paradise Flycatcher (male), I only got shots of the female bird previously, this time I got the male bird at Panti Forest of Malaysia.
Not as clean shot as the above, this shot was shot at iso 4000, hope to shoot him again with lower iso.

Tip with mirror lens:
- as long as your background doesnt have strong spot light source or reflection source, there are no donuts bokeh, just smooth background bokeh

Went macro again,but today my keeper not alot
the fly shot is very artistic. a balance between subject and the empty space. go to show size is not everything. the spider is a rare subject. never seen before. *thumb up*
that is the composition detritus was talking about, placing subject on certain corner instead of the normal comtemporary macro styles usually like mine
.Hey, too much macro aldy here leh...:bsmilie:
last one for the week..
comtemporary macro.
