Djop signing in

[Djop Tabaranza]

Hello All,

Djop Tabaranza here. I've been taking photos of phil birds for several years now and i'm also registered in PhilBirdPhoto egroup (since June2006).

I've been inactive (from bird photography) for almost a year now after my p&s camera (oly c760uz) was stolen. I'm currently using office issued cameras: Canon s3is and Olympus C770uz.

Finally saved enough dough to upgrade to dslr and will be getting one soon.

Hoping to join the group in one of its birdphoto expeditions.

Hi Djop. Welcome! Where you the one who made a presentation on birds at the Haribon forum? telyd

[Djop Tabaranza]

Wow. Thanks everybody for the very warm welcome.

Yes 'te Lyds, ako po yung nagpresent nun. Medyo hindi nga properly prepared for that presentation (had to rush in making the powerpoint kasi galing sa fieldwork).

update: just got my very first DSLR last nyt (Nikon D60) - an advanced Christmas and Birthday gift from my GF. Very excited to take it out to get some bird photos.

Also inherited a Nikkor 70-210mm f/4-5.6D AF lens from my dad (needs some cleaning up - can anyone recommend a good shop around QC for lens cleaning?). Ano po ba maganda TC for this lens (1.4X or 2X)?

Also saving up for the longer lens and a TC.
