Kingfishers of Malaysia [10]


Recently, I had a chance to do some birding in Malaysia and I was very lucky to capture quite a few different species despite of being off season this late of year. Lighting condition was very challenging compared to what we have here in the states and recent forrest burning in the neighboring country made it even worse: adding a layer of haze in the air, therefore, ISO was always high while shutter speed set low.

I would like to start out sharing with 5 out of the 13 Kingfisher species found there. Sure hope I will get a chance to collect the remaining 8 species one day but they are definitely harder to get.

1. Fresh catch of the day. Stork-billed Kingfisher (juvy)

1/500s | f/10 | ISO4000 | 800mm + 1.4x TC = 1120mm

2. The pose

1/160s | f/9 | ISO4000 | 800mm + 1.4x TC = 1120mm

3. Change position

1/500s | f/10 | ISO4000 | 800mm + 1.4x TC = 1120mm

4. Artsy…


5. Brown-winged Kingfisher

1/400s | f/10 | ISO2500 | 800mm + 1.4x TC = 1120mm

6. BWKF In flight


7. Collared Kingfisher

1/640s | f/6.3 | ISO6400 | 800mm

8. CKF In flight


9. Banded Kingfisher from a distance (heavy crop but good lifer since it\'s rather rare).

1/400s | f/8 | ISO10000 | 800mm + 1.4x TC = 1120mm

10. White-throated Kingfisher (Very lucky to get 2-in-1. Btw, he did not come home last night)

1/250s | f/9 | ISO4000 | 800mm + 1.4x TC = 1120mm

C&Cs are welcome.

Thanks for looking.
