This looks similar to what we call Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher. What is the name of this bird? It would help us appreciate your postings better if you would include your shooting details.

I just checked on the Black Backed Kingfisher that you photograph. It is the same as what we call the Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher. Beautiful capture Knpan. Mabuhay.

Hi,
Ok will add in complete details of shots next time. I have added in more details above the pic.
Yes, this is under Oriental Dwarf KF, as this is a subspecies, as well as Rufous Backed Kf, a subspecies too.
cheers

You are using a long lens like Paolo and me. Its amazing that you were able to take a very good picture at a low ISO and low shutter speed. Was there sunlight on the bird in this instance? We usually see this bird under the canopy of trees and its dark so we have to take the picture with a high ISO which is susceptible to noise. I like the flapping of the wings of the bird on the video. Well done Kennie. Mabuhay. (It means long live) |

Thanks Mates for the comments,
Yes Sigmonster 300-800mm DG version.
Hmm yes because i have not bought a remote yet for the d90, so had to use the self timer function, plus mirror lock up in every shots. 2 secs self timer. Shooting condition was quite difficult as the lighting was low, and it was a slope mountain bike trail, can fall. I still insisted on ISO 200 in the dark usual low land tropical rainforest canopy ,because i knew i can trust my skills (Not bragging) and HAD to trust it , trust the equipment, and combine the timing together, Lower Hit rate of sharp shots but i do like Lovely noiseless pictures!
Cheers
Kennie
