Waiting for a Lowland White Eye

[Tonji Ramos]

I was out this morning in Alabang looking to practice on some birds. I found a suitable spot under a fruiting tree. There were lots of birds busy eating but the light was difficult. There was one spot which I decided would be optimal so I set up for the shot and waited for a bird to land on my chosen branch.

Finally one bird had the same idea I did.

Love it!

[Tonji Ramos]

Thanks Gabs, it was actually the only branch with light that I liked. There were more than 30 birds, I was hopeful one would hop on the branch.

Thanks Pao. This is a different tree from the one I showed you. This is near Madrigal.

[Mark Itol]

Easily a winner, Tonji! Full of detail and lovely colors. I'd have it printed and framed if it was mine!

[Tonji Ramos]

Thanks Rey. I was happy when I saw the shot in my viewfinder.

Thanks Bob, yes I got a very standard pose. It actually did a 360 degree turn. I was shooting like paparazzi.

Thanks Toto. I got lucky!

I think it read your mind about perching on your chosen branch! Excellent capture with amazing details, colors, pose and composition Tonji!

[gabriel buluran]

tonji, if i perch on a branch you chose, would you take a picture of me? hehehe... you and mando seem to have mastered the art of making a bird land on your chosen perch!

congrats again on this one!!!

The details on this picture look very impressive from my 22-in. LCD monitor! Well done!!!

[Tonji Ramos]

Thanks Mark, I don't have a single printed picture yet. Haha. Maybe I should print a few.

Thanks Tina, Sylvia and I were back there yesterday. Still lots of birds in the trees.

Thanks Bobby, Edu, Ely and JV!

Gabs, I don't do male models! Hehe.

Thanks Ariel, I always like to look at my pics in a bigger screen. Its quite different on Sylvia's big monitor vs my tiny laptop.
