2019 phototrips in review - Part 3

Welcome to the third part, where we jump to West Papua.
First lets have a look at the Western Parotia

Western Parotia

For this shoot I had not enough reach with my 400 lens so I had to use the 1.4x TC and since it was near the bottom of the rainforest, it was rather dim.
Which is a very challenging situation with an 400 2.8 lens and nearly impossible
So what could be improved?

  • Noise/IQ

  • Choice of Lens

First, finding one of these is rather rare and if you do you have to take it wherever you find it.
The only way I see how it could be improved is with an 400 f/2.8.


Now to the next wildlife picture, the Seychelles paradise flycatcher.
Also here applies the points before. I had not enough reach, paired with a too slow aperture.
One additional challenge I set for myself, is to capture the flycatcher with my 100 STF lens.
