[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Dark-Necked Tailorbird (Orthotomus sutorius)
Size : Average 11 cm. Yet another shy quiet bird that was taken at Bukit Tinggi. It was in between foliage and with strong streaks of sunlight coming through I decided to go without fill flash and pushed the ISO to 1600 instead. I do not use any "noise reduction" software. Just Apple Aperture and Photoshop a little. Exposure was to the right to reduce whatever noise but at the expense of slightly blown highlights on the right leg of the bird.
Exposure details : 1/80 f/8 ISO1600 EV-1/3 Flash - Nil

Habitat : Broadleaved evergreen, semi evergreen jungle and mixed deciduos jungle, secondary growth, scrub, mangrove and locally in rural areas up to 1200m.

Hi Phil, great shot, the light, colors and details are excellent. An realy extraordinary photo! Congratulation, Dan

Hi Phil,
You do not use any noise reduction software...I was looking for that one...:-)
1600 pfff...that's a lot...I wonder if 400D has a better sensor than the 350D:-)
Supertele 600 must be really super....even with the extender.
I like the light in the image; though I wonder it is mainly created through the sun or flash.
Cropping a
bit would have been an option; a matter of choice though.
Good work!

That is a lot of lens but it seems to do the job. I'm surprised it did so well at ISO 1600! No noticeable noise.

Nice work.
