Finally got a chance to go out and shoot our feathered friends during the Holy Week. Following Prof. Tirso's lead, I went to the "buttonquail area" in Los Baños last Saturday. I was lucky to be able to get photos of this cute and shy bird. Barred Buttonquail ( Turnix suscitator) Los Baños, Laguna, 23 April 2011 40D, 400/5.6 L, ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/800 sec, manual exposure, "88 peso foldable chair" support, cropped

Thank you, Toto, Doc Boy, Doc Chito, and Mick! @toto: You should visit the place. @doc Boy: Yes P88 paid off really well. If I will be shooting more and more low angle shots, I might consider selling my tripod for the foldable chair. ;D Here's another shot with some "vegetation" on the road. Same settings as the previous shot.

I almost missed this thread as I was in Bohol. Glad you finally got you Barred Buttonquail. I think I should also get a chair like yours. Well done Mark & Mabuhay.
