Slow Shutter Digiscoping ...

18th April 2013

I was looking for the Striated Grassbird against green background yesterday but did not find any so went home and saw this Oriental Magpie Robin perched at one of the tree before it flew and landed on top of the barbed wire post against smooth background. I managed only to get few frames because it was near sunset and the Robin were under shade of the Banana leaves.

I'm happy with the result and the huge 95mm objective diameter of the Swarovski STX 95 scope really helped in gathering the last light when required !

Digiscoped with Swarovski STX 95 + TLS APO + Nikon V1 ~ ISO 400, 1/13s at 30x = 2430mm

Oriental Magpie Robin, common garden bird found in Sabah with 4 endemic subspecies

Happy birding !

good weather today as usual and not windy like yesterday but unfortunately, arrived a bit late and only yellow-bellied prinia was close for getting decent shot. other birds such as intermediate egret and purple heron quite far until around 11.00 am

but heat haze was the main problem too ...

out of 300 frames today only 18 managed to get into my hard disk hahaha :p but it was fun digiscoping with my best friend, karim and before we left in the afternoon, yellow-bellied prinia was a treat for him where he missed it yesterday hehehe.

shot for today, combination of good and bad :p
