Streaked Spiderhunter

Mae Wong NP, Thailand (Chong Yen campsite)

One of the most photogenic birds there is. Restless and often under the banana leaves where light is scares, makes it a real challenge to capture him in natural light.

ISO800 and f4 gave only 1/50s to work with, but was enough to get a few sharp ones. I need to keep the speed at 1/50 or above. At slower speed the "floating" effect of the IS comes into play and you have to switch IS off and use mirror lockup.
