Nice shot of the wagtail's posterior..... great low angle JP, did you crawl on the mud for this one? Or were you able to convert the floating blind to amphibious operation?  |

Great capture JP. Very difficult angle. It's worth all the crawling and the soiled clothes. I admire your passion, you're really enjoying this aren't you I really wanted to join you and Neon but I can't coding pala ako. Hope to be in your next sortie  |

You guys should have seen JP when he got down the car....he made an ala "Lito Lapid" move tumbling towards the ashy mound. Then while tumbling in...he was saying: "Operation Desert Storm!" Haha! I guess the heat really got to us! |

Hehe.... I give you 7 galaxies for the effort! I remember one time when Raymond Barlow (of Canada) and I were shooting monkeys at a Subic roadside. Ray decided to crawl on the road side for a low angle. A passing ambulance suddenly stopped, thinking there was a medical emergency. After realizing what the lunatic guys are doing, the medical personnel retreated with embarassed smiles. ;D Great version too, Martin! thanks Romy. i crawled on the ground which was filled with dark ash because the grass was burned a few days ago. looked like a "taong grasa" after |
