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.
These pictures were taken by my son this evening, using the new lenses.
Camera Canon EOS 400D I just cropped and made some adjustments with Adobe Photoshop CS2.
No sharpening, except for the Barbet and Tailor bird pictures.
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.
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...

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.
