Panorma view at Japanese Garden - Bukit Tinggi, Pahang
I was with more than 20 bird photographers from Malaysia and Singapore at Bukit Tinggi, Pahang on Sunday.
This beautiful bird was the main attraction.
Orange-headed Thrush (Zoothera citrina) - male
Full frame shot with 400mm + 1.4TC at ISO 1600. Just edited with a bit of sharpening and resize with Photoshop CS2.
Upper part of the wing was over exposed due to spot of sunlight shining through the leaves.
Still not master the exposure technique. This is an excuse for another visit to this highland. ;)

Here a few photographers with bazookas, waiting for that orange bird to land. Not in the forest, but on the main road with so many tourists.
