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'.
Extension cord and flash bracket will correct it.

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)










posing like a hawk

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 arrive this thursday.


































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

Abandon

Visited my late mother/father's house during hari raya recently.

Nearly cried when i took this 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...
