Taking the Buffy Owl must have been exhilarating - how did you manage that in the dark? What was the setting of the encounter? By the way the 'Wallace's' could be a Besra. It is quite an elegant and slim accipiter.

The guide used a spotlight to search for them (via their iris reflections). I tried to take photos using a 300/2.8 with 550EX flash handheld. At first I tried to using autofocus and thought that the focus assist light on the flash would help me to focus in the dark. But I soon found that it didn't work because the subjects were too far away. The lens simply didn't respond at all. I had to use manual focus. Although it was tough, but at least I can get some photos this way. Unfortunately by the time I started to get the hang of it, the show was over. Most of my pictures were blurred, including an otherwise perfect frontal shot of the owl without "red" eyes. But it was too blurred to be of any value.   Logged Etta BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 993 Re: Raptors in Borneo « Reply #5 on: Jun 8th, 2004, 1:03pm » Quote Modify Nice shots!!

It is in knowing them better as well and learning how to 'cope' with them, to live with them and appreciate the little souls behind the feathers   Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I => Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
