Crimson-backed Sunbird

[Vishwanath M K]

This Is the Record Picture of a Crimson-backed Sunbird also called Small Sunbird (Leptocoma minima) is a sunbird endemic to the Western Ghats of India.
I Photographed this Near a Brahmagiri Hills of Southern India. The Image is Slight out of Focus Since the Aperture was set to 22 this is Because i Incidentally got this Bird While Photographing a Butterfly Using a Sigma 105 Macro Lens where the aperture was Set to 22 I Changed the Lens From 105 mm Macro to Nikkor 300mm F/4 with 1.4x TC and forgotten to change the aperture Due To the Excitement!

Nice record image. I think there was some movement, so the bird is not sharp. What was the shutter speed? Thanks for the information. Look forward to more.

I agree with Mrudul's observations. The highlights on the flower can be reduced.

Shutter Speed used is 1/45 Sec and Hand Held, F/22 ISO 320 Used and It Was Unintentional Since The Bird Made a Sudden Appearance and I Could Not be able to change the aperture while I am Doing a Macro Photography

I know how much you would be cursing yourself. It would have been great if you could have changed the aperture to f5.6. However, all of us once in a while face this kind of situations.

The sharpness is ok relative to the 1/45th second shutter speed. The best way to shoot these birds is to wait at one place. After sometime, they may land near you. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
