Here are some of my pictures of the famous U.P Diliman celebrity birds. Thank you so much Mando & Prop Jerry. Will post info when I get back from the mountains. Please pray that we get there safely and also going back home. Crossing my fingers that we'll have beautiful weather and also lots of birds and excellent photos. HehEHeHHeE Spotted Wood Kingfisher Coppersmith Barbet Colasisi Philippine Scops Owl but I'd rather have the owl with this background ;D  ;D  ;D photoshopped just for the FUN of it ;D |

Wow!! These are wonderful captures Plain Idol Tina!! Even with difficult lighting you were able to get the exposures spot on!! I still got to see the owl, it was not there when we went to its favorite perch. Hahahaha...I was thinking of doing this, replacing the BG and perch, as well but I still need to get a shot. Will pray that you'll have a safe trip and a bountiful harvest!! Looks like the weather would be just fine from the satellite photos showing clear skies over Northern Luzon.  Have a safe trip!! |

Bravo Tins, bravo!
Of course, the plain idol can't be left behind.
Re: processed owl.
I wonder where I can see an outdoor setting with a window? ;D
Anyway, may you have a safe voyage, good luck, and have fun!
Make an egg offer ... I heard (and believe) that it really works.

Tina, a little poem for your mountain travel:
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
The sun shine warm upon your face
May all sorts of rare endemic birds stand still in perfect pose and full light until you shoot 4gb of it with ice-steady hands.
