Some from last year

[Mark Itol]

With the camera still waiting for parts replacement and my schedule fully loaded lately, I'm reduced to scouring old photos resting in the hard drive. Here are a few shots from last year.

40D, 400/5.6 L, ISO 320, f/8, 1/40 sec, manual exposure, tripod/gimbal


This one is from the La Mesa boating/birding trip organized by Mr. Pitt. Oh I miss Ding's posts.

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)

Beautiful captures Mark. The Brown Shrike is one of the best I've seen.

[Toto Gamboa]

nice one mark! hope you get back your gears soon!

[gabriel buluran]

agree with rey! superb capture of the brown shrike!

the osprey is fearsome with its huge talons!!!

[Tonji Ramos]

These two captures are very nice.

The feather detail of the Brown Shrike contrasts nicely with the creamy green bg.

The Osprey shot has a nice artistic feel with the DOF effect on the wings.

I hope they fix your gear soon.

Thank you Rey, Toto, Gabs, and Tonji for the comments. Much appreciated.

It might take a little more time to get back my gear, so for now I'll just try to re/process old photos to keep sanity from snapping.

The most beautiful Brown Shrike I have seen. Well done Mark. Mabuhay.

The Brown Shrike is an instant winner for me Mark. Thanks for sharing.
