More from Cairns

I hope you don't mind, here are a few more pics from my recent trip to Cairns.

A very cheeky Bowers Shrike-thrush

Metalic Starlings - Not a great photo but it shows one of the young ones changing his plumage

All would be new for me. Good one of the Riflebird- it seems you have mastered the use of flash in dark environments. What is the setup?

Thanks Ryu

Yongnuo External speedlite flash

camera on manual. 1/200 SP - f6.3 -1250 ISO

flash on manual 1/2 or 1/4 no diffuser on this one. If they are further away like the owls then a better beamer.

Hope that helps

Another wow from me, you must have been stoked coming away from your Cairns trip Devster.  I would have been smiling all the way home just seeing a Riflebird, lol.
