Looks like an air raid. I sure don't want to be underneath when they drop their bombs. The hunters have really affected the population of Candaba. Lets hope that its the last time they will hunt there. Mabuhay Toto.

Nice Toto, thanks for showing another angle on how to shoot BIFs. Didn't your neck hurt after this 90 deg shot with a 2kg rice bag? Great job panning the bittern with 1/60 sec shutter, sharp at the right place. Just a question, the bittern doesn't look cinnamon to me but fuchsia? did you play with the colors?  |

Actually, I have seen "bombs" falling down but luckily not one birdnut was hit ;D Nice Toto, thanks for showing another angle on how to shoot BIFs. Didn't your neck hurt after this 90 deg shot with a 2kg rice bag? Thanks Neon. I got my neck ang back intact as I was just using a 2 pound "rice" bag, but I almost was out of balance after the last frame probably at an angle between 80-100 degrees. But seriously, I never thought this angle would turn out fine until after I saw the results on the LCD. Great job panning the bittern with 1/60 sec shutter, sharp at the right place. Just a question, the bittern doesn't look cinnamon to me but fuchsia? did you play with the colors? I dunno why it turned out fuschia but I only tweaked exposure to the image a bit brighter. Probably because it was too dark still when I got the Bittern. the panning shot on the bittern was what I wanted to do with the ducks!!! by my rig's AF can't seem to compare with your 50D toto Hehe. Contrary to your observation, I am having the feeling I want my D90 back. hehe. I love photo no. 1 , Ely is right, looks like an air strike coming. great set! Thanks bro! Balik tayo! |
