No long lens, no flash, many hummers... RF glass rocks...(2)
EOS R RF 24-105 @195 f4 1/400 ISO 1600 manual mode
To make the fact I didn't bring any birding lens worse, my daughter, knowing I'm a birding nut planned a side trip to Mindo (cloud forest mecca for hummers, tanagers and others). While I was very happy with bino views of many colorful species, it was driving me nuts that I couldn't get close enough with the 105mm. As we walked on the trail one hummer did land relatively close. It was relatively dark as the only light filtered through the canopy and the back grounds were always close (the trail being the only clearing). So, this, my best attempt was still only 25% of the full frame. Next time the 100-400 is coming with me and I still can't wait for telephoto RF glass.
