You are right about the grainy images. I must admit I was certainly caught out by the challenges of Rain Forest brd photography. I had intended to use a flash but dropped my gear early on in the holiday & broke my flash attachment to the tripod head/camera mount (I got off lightly -the damage could have been so much worse!). The result was no flash & no 2x TC. Some of the later passerine images taken in good light are OK -I still have to post these but the birds in deep shade are universally disappointing. I have got a replacement flash & will need to practise use!
Thanks for the link to Ingo's site -I recently came across it myself > stunning stuff, all the better for being taken in very difficult light!
