Finally, Thanks to Ding who found time, from his busy schedule, to accompany us (JP & Ixi) to this wonderful place right in the heart - La Mesa Dam reservoir. Never have I seen so many osprey in one location! According to JP it's the ETS of the area. Unfortunately we were not lucky to get good light early on. My settings were just good for static birds. Contrast was also affected by the smoke coming from the Payatas dumpsite. Anyway, "it's the journey and the people that were with you that counts most, the resulting photo is just secondary" ;D Thanks for a great morning of boating and birding Ding, Ixi and JP! and of course the boat pilot, Guerrero! We should do it again!!! ;D Osprey ( Pandion haliaetus) 5DM2 + 600 mm L f4 IS, f4, 1/320 sec, ISO 640, Manual exposure in available light, Hand held, 40.3m distance. 1/250 sec. 40.3m distance

These are great shots. Of course being the perfectionist that we try to be there is always something left to be desired. Well done Neon. Mabuhay.

Great shots Neon! I really like the first one, with all the rich shades of brown on the back of the bird. And handheld to boot. Amazing!

Thanks Guys!! Would really like to get another shot at La Mesa as I was not able to get decent BIF shots. Here's another capture from that sortie. White-breasted Woodswallow ( Artamus leucorynchus) f4, 1/320 sec, ISO 640, 25.7m
