CANON EOS R3 AF test2 | liewwk Nature

I am glad to given a chance to have a unit CANON EOS R3 to have a series of test on Birds/Nature Photography.

As for other camera, I plan to have series of tests which related to Tropical forest birds Photographer concerns eg. ISO performance, AF performance, Raw files dynamics range etc.

After days of basic understanding the camera (actually it is like a upgraded version of my old CANON EOS 1dxm2). I will try share other view of the camera later in other posts, here lets share one of the major concern : AF performance.

For this test, I am using

CANON EOS R3

CANON EF 500mm F4 IS2

CANON 1.4x TC III

No feeding, No nesting and no idea what bird flying to/from which directions. Just base on what you see and trying the Camera capability to focus and capture.

Setting

AF area (whole sensor)

AFC, eye-control AF off

Drive mode: H (15fps)

AI Servo (AF-C)

RAW and use DPP straight convert to JPEG and resize.

No CROP

7. Bali Myna, 长冠八哥, 峇里島長冠八哥, Leucopsar rothschildi, カンムリシロムク, Jalak Bali

An eye-catching white starling with black tips to the tail and wings, bare blue facial skin, and long plumes that hang down the nape. Juvenile is shorter-crested than adult, with yellow wash. Found in small groups in open forest, where it spends time in the trees and foraging on the ground. Avoids dense forest. Restricted to northwest Bali. Differs from Black-winged Starling in having the black on the wings confined to tips, and in showing blue facial skin. Song is an untidy jumble of scratchy, chattering notes and whistles. [Ebird]

长冠八哥(学名:Leucopsar rothschildi):是一种大型椋鸟,体长约25厘米,雌雄相似,外形俊朗,羽冠发达,眼睛四周和面部裸出,裸露部分为蓝色,全身羽毛纯白色,尾部和翼端的边缘呈黑色,脚灰色。全身白色,具较长冠羽,羽冠不像一些羽冠发达的鸟类复杂多变,却十分有特点,有丝带状的羽冠简洁随意飘洒。1910年由英国鸟类学家沃尔特·罗斯柴尔德(Walter Rothschild)命名。 [1]
通常栖息在海岸附近长有长草的草原,喜欢三五成群聚居在林地,求偶时雄鸟会竖起冠羽,不断地上下摆动头部。群居,在树上觅食果实和昆虫。因分布区狭,栖息地遭到破坏,野生种群数量稀少,是椋鸟中最罕有物种处境岌岌可危,依然沦落为世界上极危鸟种。分布于印度尼西亚巴厘岛。
update 202401
– a very special and beautiful endemic for Bali, wont wrong as long as you see medium size and white bird .. think only near Bali National Park area

a very common small blue-white small Kingfisher at Bali-Java, can be seen almost any where near stream, pond …but quite shy as usual

这小翠鸟在巴厘岛几乎蛮普通,可是还是不容易拍。很害羞。

update 202402

– this is a very good example of need more fps .. so not always correct we do not need .. I normally shoot ~15fps in most of the camera by default … when this bird sudden dive in I am too late to change the fps .. and most of the frame without very good “eye contact” or I would say too less frame within the dive action (~7frames)

– 现在相机都说有多快。20,30,40,60,120,240fps .. 蛮多人讲,我们都不需要。。。不是很重要,其实我们大部分时间都不需要。可是有想过吗,有当然比没好啊。当我们需要时却没有,就像我这样。15张一秒,错过蛮多看过来的一幕啊。

20240118, Bali, Indonesia

 

update 202401

– a transit easy shooting near ours hotel, saw few of them and need small movement to get close to get closer pictures.

– 再去看松巴岛前,在巴厘岛酒店附近就找到。还蛮还几只,慢慢的走近还是可以拍好。

– 去松巴岛前一天到巴厘岛,就找了个小池塘过过日子。第一个下午,一到每个人追着鸟(新鸟种)第二天早上没人看了,我一个人在等什么鸟都好在好光线的位置出现。竟然看到2只在抢鱼(虽然不在我要的角度)可是还是拿下吧。

– beautiful bird with up-curve billed

Striking and essentially unmistakable, with elegant shape, boldly pied plumage, long bluish-gray legs, and long, slender, upcurved bill. Curve is stronger on female. Usually breeds in small colonies; nesting birds call noisily. Nonbreeding flocks locally number in hundreds. Feeds while wading or swimming, sweeping its bill side to side. Most common in coastal wetlands and brackish lagoons and estuaries, but will also appear inland, particularly on or near large lakes. (Ebird)

反嘴鹬(学名:Recurvirostra avosetta)是反嘴鹬科反嘴鹬属鸟类。中型涉禽,体长40-45厘米。嘴黑色,细长而向上翘。脚亦较长,青灰色。头顶从前额至后颈黑色,翼尖和翼上及肩部两条带斑黑色,其余体羽白色。飞翔时黑色头顶、黑色翅尖,以及背间部和翅上的黑带与白色的体羽和远远伸出于尾后的暗色脚形成鲜明对比,甚为醒目,野外不难识别。 [1]
反嘴鹬栖息于平原和半荒漠地区的湖泊、水塘和沼泽地带,有时也栖息于海边水塘和盐碱沼泽地。迁徙期间亦常出现于水稻田和鱼塘。冬季多栖息于海岸及河口地带。主要以小型甲壳类、水生昆虫、昆虫幼虫、蠕虫和软体动物等小型无脊椎动物为食。 [1]
分布于欧洲、中东、中亚、塔吉克斯坦、阿富汗、西西伯利亚南部和外贝加尔湖地区,越冬于里海南部、非洲、印度和缅甸等南亚和东南亚地区。在中国分布于新疆、青海、内蒙古、辽宁、黑龙江、吉林等省,越冬于西藏南部、广东、福建和香港等南部沿海省区,迁徙期间经过河北、山东、山西、陕西、江苏、湖南和四川等省,偶尔也见于中国台湾省。

– a special almost represent Sulawesi as almost any where you can see symbol

A massive black-and-white megapode with a rose-pink breast and a diagnostic prominent knob on the nape. Found in lowland and hill forest, in areas near beaches or areas with volcanic sands in which they lay their eggs. Immatures show a blacker head with a white throat and a tufted crest. Occurs in pairs that forage on the ground and roost in trees by night. Often best seen at known egg-laying sites, either during laying sessions, or roosting in trees nearby. Generally silent, but occasionally gives a loud, bubbling “waow.” [Ebird]

update 202310

– another main target for a short Photography tour, not really a difficult bird to be seen but it stay far from the hide and very alert with sounds. But there are few individual come to the ranger area which gave some close pictures.

– 这次摄鸟行的其中目标之一。虽然不很难,可是在的鸟的“小屋”里鸟在蛮远还很怕人。因为是喂食的,有什么声音活动就会跑掉。可是在门口处竟然有4只很乖在哪活动可是还是不可以太大动作。
