Saw this pigeon last year but not able to get a picture of it. Finally have some spare time and spent ~2 days waiting to get a open shot for this bird.
it is bit shy, whenever it is open and I try to move myself it will trying to hide from me … not bad for limited angle and time for this
1. Black Laughingthrush, 黑噪鹛, 黑噪鶥, Garrulax lugubris, クロガビチョウ, KEKICAU-RAYA HITAM BIASA
– difficult bird to get open, noisy bird
– found this ~700mm from sea level

– a very lucky morning with this shy and active bird stay so low and long for everyone good view and picture session
– 非常幸运的一个早上。这么活跃与害羞的鸟,尽然站了这么低这么久让我们看+拍够。
update 202305
– while we walking for general birding after long wait for the partridge. All of sudden this bird calling from far, we toward the direction and this bird just stand ~10feet from us .. what a lucky day after Malayan Whistling-Thrush, Bamboo Woodpecker, Malayan Hawk-Cuckoo, Mountain Scops Owl and many good birds today.
when we have option, we tend to choose from which is better … better in term of? It come to my mind too , which one to pick and why …. while my Photohunter Tour 2015 Bali , I managed to have both camera with me and have a quick test … but the test as usual a basic test on common interest … more details ? site effect ?
both camera
– ISO100,200,400,800,1600,3200 (also have higher test)
– F16
– MF on the front boat (100% crop picture)
– 2s timer shooting
– M mode
– Auto WB
– CANON EF 24-70 F2.8 II len use
– ACR save pictures , Highlight -21, Shadow 11, Clarity +30 ONLY , Vibrance +10, Saturation +5, no noise reduction, no sharpen
Both camera give much more details compare to previous CANON EOS 5dm3 and it make big different among these 2 cameras (may be you can look at the full size of JPEG for further comment). but 5Dsr just give slight more extra details, contrast but where we almost not noticeable . and not much Moire effect appear over few days testing. may be in future if I notice and will be posting here too
