PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS - Scarlet-backed flowerpecker bird is 9 cm long - high up the tree

PHOTGRAPHY TIPS: SCARLET-BACKED FLOWERPECKER
Dr Sing Kong Yuen. 21 Aug 2022.

Very difficult to get sharp images using a handheld camera as:

1. Flowerpecker is 9-cm long (very small sized) and high up the 1-storey high roadside tree.
2. Hand shakes pressing the shutter
3. Fast movement up and down tree in Lentor St Children's Playground.
4. A tripod CANNOT BE USED in this case as the bird is flying about.
5..I focus on the FRONT of the bird as much as practical,
6. I took continuous shots of over 100 shots, hoping to get one sharp image.
6. Overcast sky.
7. Canon R5, 24-105mm lens, P Mode,

#21Aug2022bird

 

 

21 Aug 2022 was an overcast day. I went to the Lentor St Playground to exercise. With the Canon R5 which is said to focus on birds better, I hope to take a better photo of the Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker.
In Feb 2022, I got one sharp image. It was posted to shutterstock at https://submit.shutterstock.com/catalog_manager/images/2127241658

This was a second chance to take this Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker who flew to the same tree in Lentor Street Playground. It is a small-sized 9-cm long bird darting in and out of this tree which is one-storey high. A sparrow-sized bird. No time to use the tripod. Hand-held. I took over 100 shots this time. This image is one of 3 sharp images. Canon R5, 24-105 mm lens, P Mode. Overcast sky. 

 

WHATSAPP

A 9-cm bird darting in and out of the one-storey high tree. Sparrow-size, about the palm of an adult hand. Very difficult to focus to get sharp image. 3 sharp images out of 100 shots taken in Lentor St Playground yesterday. This was a second chance as the last time the bird appeared (on the same tree in the same location in the morning) was in Feb 2022.
