Hi Guys, Just posting some of my pics from my latest trip to Ternate. BTW if you plan to go there, my advise is to bring a vehicle with high road clearance as they are building the road and the passing lanes are rough and uneven.
Cattle Egret. I know you guys have millions of cattle egret photos but I like the pose here.

Canon 40D 300mm f4 is 1.4 kenko TC ISO 250 f9 1/2000 -1.3 ev handheld
My best so far on the Philippine Bulbul. This bird was at eye-level rather than it's usual at the tree tops.

Canon 40D 300 mm F4 IS 1.4 keno TC ISO 500 F5.6 1/125 +.3ev car window support
Lastly saw this female jungle fowl, We first thought it was a pheasant because of its profile.

canon 40D 300 mm F4 IS 1.4 Kenko TC iso 500 5.6 1/30 car window support.

Also saw Bong and Rey's Goshawk but I was a bit far, considering how perfect their shots were, no posting from me na.

Regards,

Chito

Thanks Guys, Your comments always inspire me. The BG was blue waters of the bay. The lesion, I think is the BG as important as the subject in most cases, always consider this when working on your the shot. Thanks again.

Very nice shot, Doc Chit.
Dunno, but when I saw this picture, it quickly reminded me of Dr. House.
