MALAYSIA - JUNE 2008
6 photosThis is the trip that convinced me it was time to spend the money on a decent SLR camera. Two weeks in Malaysia with my trusty digiscoping gear, and the only (somewhat) decent photos I got are here - all six of them. I missed shots of pittas, kingfishers, rail-babblers, and just about everything else, because almost nothing would sit still long enough to digiscope. Now, I'm pretty fast at digiscoping, having nailed antbirds, antwrens, and the like in the Neotropics, but tropical Asia was a totally different story. I was defeated! Some day I will go back with a decent camera and more experience, and see if I can do better.
