A behind the lens for some of the photographers who share their wonderful work with us






A month ago, invited me to "our" mystery bird photographers tell us a little about themselves. In this application, I suggested that they were not sure what we want, you can answer some or all of the following questions:

- everyone is passionate about the camera: the specifics of the camera

equipment you use and why

- What is your track team Camera favorite

- what you're interested in bird photography

- Where are your favorite places to watch birds (and bird photography), and why

- one of the images of birds are their favorites - Do you like the two images

- What is your favorite bird species - why

Many of our mystery bird photographers

responded well, as promised, I share with you their answers.

The first photographer that I present is Mary-Louise Ng. I heard Ms. Ng work after she contacted me after mentioning in my blog that I really need pictures of birds in Southeast Asia. I looked in the galleries of his image and was immediately impressed by the strength of the composition and overall quality of his photographic art with his extraordinary ability to capture the "essence" of his subjects. All your photos are beautiful, while some are in the opinion of this writer, too beautiful for words.

answer is copied below, with only a few words changed, but I added links to the areas mentioned and I added the scientific names of birds in parentheses for clarity . All the pictures you sent are included.

took the picture when my husband has a camera as a gift and you just start there! I got into bird photography because it is a challenge and I want to start my own list of bird photography. I think I have photographed over 150 species of birds in Asia so far.

At first I used a Nikon D5000 with 70-200mm/F2.8 + x2 TC for bird photography. But photography of birds and poultry in Hong Kong is difficult because birds are often nervous and very far. So we went to a lens with a Nikon D7000 and 500/F4mm D3S.

The weight of the equipment I need to bring is a challenge. As a result, I often use two bags, the Think Tank Trolley bag and Kiboko bag gure team (a very light weight of the bag).

As you can see pictures of my birds, my images are pretty raw and basic. I like exploring and finding my own birds, so I turned to what's coming. Do not shoot the birds are fed and do not use the flash. I have been blessed with many friends who share the same interests, so they tend to explore on weekends. And when birding friends from abroad travel to Hong Kong, I take on a festive bird-watching, if I am free.

I like bird watching ". The chance of birds' exploration gives me a thrill, but it requires patience and While browsing, I had unforgettable experiences, like taking a trip on a ferry to an island an hour a day storm and only managed to get three images of a fish Brown Owl (

zeylonensis Bubo ) before taking the next ferry home. I also waited for long periods time for a white eyebrow Piculet ( Sasia ochracea ) out of its nest of bamboo (in Thailand), which ultimately makes for 2 seconds - - and then only managed a shit picture

Whenever

birdwatching abroad, has never failed in two cameras: the Nikon D7000 and D3S, 500mm/F4 lens, cable release, a TC 1.4, and a tripod with a head gimbal.


visited Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand for bird watching and bird photography. Among them, Thailand is a great place for birdwatching, especially Kraeng Krachang National Park, where the birds are comfortably close during the breeding season. Another place is enriching the cloud forests of Anmashan Recreation Area Dasyueshan forest near Taichung, Taiwan. This is a good place for mountain birds and pheasants during January and February, when the flowers bloom make such beautiful images.

These images of black eyebrows, beard (
