[tina mallari]

My smugmug and pbase galleries seem to be having tantrums today in showing my photos so I will just give you guys the link to the smugmug gallery. Shooting info can be seen when you click on photo info. As soon as the links are working, I will post them here but for now, you will just have to go to the link please.

Thanks guys

Philippine Serpent Eagle

[Toto Gamboa]

Woooooooow. great set Tina! The serpent eagle shots are superb.

[Romy Ocon]

Wow.... tons of detail, Plain Idol! Looks like using the 500 f4 is second nature to you.

[tina mallari]

Thanks a lot Toto and Romy.

Hmmmmm IDOL Romy, can i please borrow Arnold? My gear is breaking my back !!!! LOL ;D

[Agerico M. De Villa]

Very very Tinayish. Even the zebra dove looks elegant. It is difficult to say which of the serpent eagle set is the best; almost all of them a candidates. Congratulations!

[tina mallari]

Thank you PropJer. It was great to see yesterday

[Ralf Nabong]

Ouch! The images are very sharp specially those of the serpent eagle!

I like the pose and exposure of the zebra dove!

[Neon Rosell II]

These are amazing captures Plain Idol Tins!!! You and the lens are made for each other.

[tina mallari]

Thanks Bong and Neon

Neon: How I wish that the lens were lighter though. It's breaking my back every time I use it - Hu hu Hu

Si Tonji kasi bad influence eh !!!! napabili tuloy ako ng heavy lens (was forced to buy such a heavy lens) la la la

[Tonji Ramos]

Tina it looks like you retained your photo style. Its always a pleasure to see your pics. That eagle is cool.

[Ely Teehankee]

Very nice pictures even if I can't see them clearly because of poor eyesight. I will wait for you to post them again at the Forum once you get it going. Well done Tina. Mabuhay.

[Sylvia Ramos]

Lovely, lovely set!

Ely -- try clicking "slideshow", the pics come out bigger.

[tina mallari]

Thanks Tonji, Ely and Sylvia.

Sylvia, thanks for helping out Ely

[Bobby Kintanar]

Wow naman Ms Plain Tina! You are handling the 500 f/4 quite well. I could never carry that much gear around, yet you make it look so easy! Big congrats :-)

[tina mallari]

Oh gosh Bobby, believe me when I say that ... It's not easy AT ALL

It will take me a LONG, LONG time to get used to the weight but I still love it like crazy - I'm really a birdnut and that's 101% true.

Thanks Bobby

[Adri Constantino]

nice shots tina! if you're having problems with your 500 mm, let me carry it for you from time to time. especially in far away places like subic.

seriously, great shots tina. great you're back birding!

adri

[William Lim]

Great shots, Tina. The 500 is really heavy but it is worth the weight, right?

[alainpascua]

Great set, Tina! I like the eagle and kingfisher most, such details and colors! Wow na wow!

[tina mallari]

Yehey, I am able to post pictures again from smugmug & pbase (just made a mistake with pbase)

Thank you so much Adri, William & Alain

Adri: HehehehEhe gee thanks. You really are very helpful It's great to be back. You can't imagine just how much I have missed birding & bird photography.

William: When I used it for the first time in the field, I seriously wanted to sell it right away coz it was way TOO HEAVY for me but when I saw the outcome in my computer - I knew right away that I made the right choice

[Teddy Regpala]

Tina-rrific!
Body aches will go away, but the memories captured last forever Tins! Good job po!
