I'm truly impressed with all your shots posted in view of the fact you were manual focusing onboard of a rocking boat, Thomas!
Congrats!

Nice shots Thomas, we were very lucky that No3 signal wasn't raised.
Actually I got sunburnt yesterday

KK, Hendrix, Bob,
Thanks for your reply!
It was good chance for me to practice taking photos
in rockying boat.
The condition was so hard for me to take better
photos using 800mm. 
Thomas.

Amazing shots given the circumstances!
It was an extremely challenging day to say the least! Thanks for kk's effort in organising such a wonderful trip, thoroughly enjoyed it despite my poor results! Btw, my first time seeing the Rosette and the Black-naped!
Here are some of my stats for other members who may be interested:
Total frames captured: >1000
Frames deleted on the spot: ~200
Frames deleted after first browse thru at home: ~500
Frames finally converted in raw converter: ~50
Frames I really liked: .....none!!  
Well, have to try harder next time!  Perhaps I would do better if I have the 400/5.6 like the others... Just my excuse to buy another equipment!

I wished I could blame on my gears too but I had a 400/5.6 already then ...
