Sun 16 th Shawwal 1428

My computer's clock already shows 12:01 AM, Sun
when I posted this full moon.
But the Blog shows 11:59 PM.

This full Shawwal moon was taken with 560mm at f5.6
ISO 100, speed 1/250sec.

Compare it with 16th Ramadhan shoot.

Testing 1.4x TC with pins taped

This is my LIFER


400mm + 1.4x TC with 3 pins taped, can AF in good light.
Really enjoy my new lenses.
The only minor problem is - 'steel eyes'.
The extension cord and flash bracket will correct it.

Yellow Birds

Crap Bird's Pics

I don't know the ID of this bird.
Crappy shoots, difficult -very fast moving bird.











After searching the Net, I think this bird's ID is:-

Common Tailorbird Perenjak Pisang
(Orthotomus sutorius)

? Hawk

This is not a hawk / eagle,
but a Javan Myna
(Acridotheres javanicus)

Starlings

Juvenile

Asian Glossy Starling - Perling Mata Merah
(Aplonis panayensis)

the gang

No new species

Nothing new, the same old species.
Just to practice the Better Beamer - Flash Extender , and 'melepaskan gian!'.
While waiting for my 400mm to arrive this Thursday.














































Look at this Sun Bird's eyes.
The steel eye/white eye, effect of flash too near the lens - equivalent to red eyes in human retina.

Abandon

Visited my late mother/father's house during the Hari Raya recently.

Nearly cried when I took these pics and posted it here.

The house where I was raised.






the stairs...












nobody looking after it...












my mom's shoes...












my father's handsaw...


















Maksudnya : Ya Allah! Ampunilah bagiku segala dosaku dan juga dosa dua ibu bapaku dan kasihanilah mereka keduanya sebagaimana mereka memelihara dan mendidikku di masa kecil.
