E-M5 + 75-300mm, Common Tailorbird
Wow bro, another fantastic shot!
I use the EM5 + Lumix 100-300mm for the occasional birding, it can be really difficult! Would love to learn from you, any tips ;-)?

Thanks for the kind comments and the likes bro
I have the 100-300mm as well, wife now used it on her GH2, but I think it's just as good on E-M5 only that mega OIS on the lens needs to be turned off when used on E-M5, and I would avoid shooting at f/5.6 @ 300mm. For this shot, ISO 1250, f/7.1, 1/250s. Some methods u may wish to try:1. use monopod whenever possible.
2. focus on the eyes, AF is not accurate sometimes, switch to MF if possible, enlarge the subject in EVF helps.
3. @ 300mm, don't shoot below 1/200s
4. put iso to auto, E-M5 can handle hi ISO.
hope it helps

Thanks for the sharing, much appreciated! Will try these out ;-).
These little birds are very frisky and hardly stay still, to get a shot like yours, great technique! It probably also shows how far m4/3 has come with the E-M5.
Do shoot more and post more ;-)!

Oh yes, they are very frisky and shy, noisy group will frighten them away, shoot alone or 2 at the most
... forgotten to mention that try to get as close to subject as possible, wearing something that blends with the environment helps, move quietly and i do have to stay quite still for long period sometimes

Nice!!Oh won't risk connecting different systems directly, just a normal wireless trigger on E-M5 and a receiver on SB900, manual power control no TTL. If needed, I can add more receivers, for instance, to light up background and surrounding a bit with 2nd flash and 3rd flash

Nice shot!!! Can I ask u the placing of the flash? I guess it is top left abt 10 o'clock? And is it direct with diffuser or soft box? Thanks.

Seems like you are enjoying your new lens and I like your images captured by this lens.
How do you hold your flash and camera for this shot - both handheld?

Haha yes bro, very nice lens, light and sharp, getting yours soon? thanks for the likes.
Yes, both handheld. Flash + softbox on left hand at about 10 o'clock, camera on right hand. This was an unexpected shot in the morning before sending kid to school, didn't have the luxury of using a monopod, which i usually do for macro.
