This image features the Green Ibis (Mesembrinibis cayennensis), captured in Restrepo, Meta, Colombia. Known for its iridescent green and purple feathers, the ibis stands out beautifully against the vibrant backdrop of the lush Colombian environment. The bird was perched delicately on a tree branch, where its sleek silhouette contrasted against the soft light filtering through the canopy. The calm, tranquil atmosphere of the scene was a perfect match for capturing the bird’s elegant form and reflective plumage.
In terms of technique, I used a Canon R5 with a 800mm f/11 lens and a 1.4x extender to maintain the required reach while preserving image clarity. The f/16 aperture ensured that both the bird and its environment were in focus, while the ISO 1600 helped balance the low light of the forest. The resulting sharpness and depth allow the vibrant plumage and the bird’s intricate textures to come through vividly. Capturing such a shot in the wild, with the ibis being perfectly positioned, required patience, but the payoff was worth it.

The Lettered Aracari (Pteroglossus inscriptus), photographed in Restrepo, Meta, Colombia, highlights the beauty of this colorful bird against a lush backdrop. With its striking yellow belly and vibrant bill, it presents an incredible contrast to the green tones of its environment. The photo was captured in low light, requiring careful attention to shutter speed and ISO settings. The Canon R5 paired with an 800mm f/11 lens and 1.4x extender enabled a detailed shot at 1120mm, despite the challenges.
I set the shutter speed to 1/60 of a second, almost pushing the limits of my equipment due to the dim conditions. The ISO was capped at 1600 to maintain the fine details in the shadows of the bird’s feathers without introducing too much noise. The R5’s stabilization played a crucial role, allowing me to achieve a sharp and detailed image despite the low light. This delicate balance between technical settings and respect for the bird’s natural behavior helped me capture the aracari’s magnificence in a way that truly represents the vibrant biodiversity of Colombia.

Captured in Restrepo, Meta, Colombia, this image features the Straight-billed Woodcreeper (Dendroplex picus) in its natural habitat. The bird’s rich brown plumage and striking features are beautifully highlighted as it clings to the tree, showcasing its unique adaptations for climbing. The blurred background offers a soft, natural bokeh effect, allowing the bird to remain the focal point of the composition. The subject’s sharp textures are in stark contrast to the soft greenery surrounding it.
Technically, I used a Canon R5 with a long lens setup, taking full advantage of the 800mm f/11 lens with a 1.4x extender to achieve a detailed and crisp image at a distance. The lighting was soft, giving the bird’s feather patterns a smooth and natural appearance. The photo was taken at 1/180 sec to ensure sharpness and minimize motion blur, while I manually selected an ISO of 1600, balancing the need for proper exposure with the fine details in the shadowed parts of the image. The overall composition reflects my goal of capturing this bird’s natural beauty while minimizing distractions in the background.

It seems this is Leucauge sp. - Long jawed orb spider but I do not have a good enough top shot to identify which one.
Thank you to Carlos Ivan Restrepo & Robert Combes (Bob) for their help.
