Hi Sir Romy, I used a NikonD200 with an old Nikon 300mm f4EDIF+Tamron 1.4 sp af converter mounted on a tripod.
Setting:
Metering: Spot
Shutter : 1/250
Aperture: F6.3
Exp mode: A
ISO : 1600
WB: : 5000K
Development: Vivid
After i register last Tuesday and signing up for the Candaba shoot
on Feb.2, i told myself why not practise first at home, so this morning i brought out this lens (which was kept for quite sometimes) from the cabinet ,mounted it to my camera and there i go
under a mango tree at the back of our house, waited until i was able to capture this bird.
Unfortunately when i checked the lens,its full of fungus na dahil sa tagal nakatago, i have to have it service na kaya medyo soft na ang kuha.
I'll be posting two more of my take this morning, c&c's are most welcome.
Thank you.

Nice catches Jun! I particularly liked the 2nd Pied Fantail. I'm sure you'll have a field day when you get to Candaba on Saturday.

One of the difficult birds (fantail) to capture. Nice background blur Jun.

Thank you for your comments, it really made me more excited to shoot on Saturday.
BTW what's the exit point in going to Candaba. any map in going there? what's the best time
to leave from Paranaque to avoid traffick in the area.
Many thanks.

Hi Jun, Take the Pulilan exit, instead of the earlier one (Sta. Rita?), so you can avoid the Plaridel traffic. I suggest you leave Paranaque very early in the morning, say 4:00- 4:30 am, to evade traffic.... travel time is about 2 hours at that time, and your have a good chance to shoot in sweet morning light.
