Today i want to share some photos of the Borneo Birds Festival held in RDC,Sandakan,Sabah on 21-22 Oct 2023. Borneo Birds Festival or shortly known as BBF is annual event held in Rainforests Discovery Centre in Sandakan,Sabah. Its an international event where any countries can participate.
This year main sponsor by Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm and some other big company. Prizes are very attractive especially they given out cameras and binoculars.
Boots such as Sony,Nikon,Canon and Fujifilm are lending their cameras and lenses to whoever want to experience their products. I have the opportunity to test out the famous Sony a7Rv and several telephoto lens such as Sony 200-600mm and Sony 100-400mm. I did try some 2x and 1.4x extenders to get more reach.
As this is my 1st year birding hobby started, i have the opportunity to participate in Bird Photo Race, its individual category where you have to shoot photos of bird species as many as you can starting from 11am to 3.30pm on the same day.
This are some birds that i manage to get while in RDC. Not much but its ok for starters like me.
Along the event , I'm glad to be accompanied by professional and experienced birders and wildlife shooters, i hope i can be like them owning advance camera , binoculars , expensive tripod and beautiful lenses, and of course their experiences. Not to forget i do enjoy the nature , the fresh air in the morning.
I didn't won any awards or prizes but i gain more knowledge and experience, more friends to learn from. Until next year i will be ready and this time i want to win some prizes too. Wish me luck.
Thank you for reading my post, since its been a while from the last post. With that, until next time, have a wonderful day. cheers 🥂
