Amazing what current DSLRs/optics can do at in-habitat bird imaging. Low light in the understory? No problem with the 5D2's clean high ISO. IS tames camera shake, and one can use a zoom at full extension and wide open with still very decent sharpness. ;D Philippine Bulbul ( Hypsipetes philippinus) San Juan, Batangas 5DM2 + 100-400 IS, 475B/3421 support, available light, near full frame resized to 1200x800 Date/Time 14-May-2009 09:57:11 Flash Used No Focal Length 400 mm Exposure Time 1/60 sec Aperture f/5.6 ISO Equivalent 1600  |

And one can readily tell there are not many birds in a location when I start shooting these things. ;D ;D ;D BOKEHLICIOUS - 40D + 100-400 L IS, 400 mm, f/5.6, ISO 640, 1/125 sec, hand held, manual exposure in available light, full frame resized to 1200x800.  |

Both bird and flower photos are great. The way the 5D handles noise is really amazing! Was your ISO setting at automatic?

:)If this is a sample of what the 100-400 can do, it certainly is an interesting lens. Its a beautiful picture of a bird doing its Motherly chores. Well done Romy, as usual. Mabuhay.

Wowowow! Very clean ISO 1600! Couldn't see any noise. Thanks for sharing, Mastah.

That's a great high ISO shot Mastah Romy, can't believe it's at 1600. |

What a great shot at ISO 1600. The 5D MK II is really a superb tool. Cameras just keep getting better and better.

Fantabulous! Napakaganda. I have missed so many opportunities of birds so close. I should really try harder to learn and not to do trial and error. There usually are no repeats in the wild and places where one probably will not go back to anymore. Only in my garden do I witness daily same scenarios of bird behaviour- sunbirds, bulbuls, fantails and ETS. Pahingi ng konting galing. i pray for even a streak of skills from the Ka Mastah. Now, I am giving the settings more attention. telyds
