Tiny was kind enough to enquire the other day how I got the butterflies and birds to sit still. Well of course the easy answer is skill. That and a DSLR capable of shooting 9 frames per second. And a lot of luck. But here, especially for Tiny, is a more typical bird shot. This was a Long-tailed sibia and I hasten to add I have better images of it. But for every decent image there are a lot of these. Be comforted Tiny.

Thanks Andrew! I guess other than having great photography skill and a great camera, you need to have a lot of patience too, right?
Digital photography makes it easier to sort through the pictures and pick the best one.
As for shooting multiple frames per second, I should see if my camera can do that. I have had this camera for a few years and I recently discovered that I could take pictures in a slightly dark area. Obviously I am not using all of the functions of my camera.
Tine - dare we ask what you were doing in a slightly dark area and what you wanted to take pictures of there?
Looks like the bird has flown into an electric socket secreted in the shrubbery!
I still have dozens of stork photos. Will find some excuse to post one on my site one of these days. Any tie-in between a stork and Jackie Cheung or Regina Ip??
The electric shock effect probably comes from the "fill flash".
