Birds of Royal Perak Golf Club, Ipoh

25/7/2021

0 Comments

 
I was invited to accompany a VVIP to document the birds at Royal Perak Golf Club (RPGC), accompanied by a few members of Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) Perak Branch.  Several birds were sighted, including Spotted wood owl, Oriental pied hornbill, Spotted dove, Collared kingfisher, Asian koel, Coppersmith barbet, Lineated barbet, Crested serpent eagle, Black-naped oriole & Large-tailed nightjar, however, the following were the birds which I had managed to photograph.

My bird photographs editing workflow has recently changed, with the introduction of DXO PureRAW.  PureRAW enhances your RAW files to open up even more possibilities with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.  
DxO PureRAW’s artificial intelligence strikes the perfect balance between preserving detail and eliminating noise, particularly the DeepPRIME technology.  Head on to DXO's website to learn more about PureRAW.

Protecting Your Investment II

4/7/2021

The Sony DSC-RX10 IV is premium superzoom bridge-camera (DSLR-like form factor) with a 24-600mm equivalent F2.4-4 zoom lens and a 20MP 1"-type stacked BSI-CMOS sensor.  This new sensor brings phase detect autofocus to the RX10 series for the first time, adding the depth-awareness that is important for focusing long lenses. The camera is also faster than its predecessor and can shoot at 24 fps with AF and auto exposure (compared to 5 fps).

With this high feature of the RX10 camera, it is worth while to invest in the protection skin for it.  KIWIFOTOS bring to you the KIWIFOTOS Protective Anti-scratch 3M Sticker Skin Film Cover for SONY RX10 IV & RX10 III cameras.  Fixing it will take about an hour or so and you can use a tweezer, modelling pen knife & lint-free cloth to help you fit the stickers.  The end product looks great!!!
