When Master Romy said that there was a regular roosting tree for this owl I didn't waist time to head to Makiling and search for it. You know it pays to ask local people where the man with the bazooka was standing yesterday?, "Ah, Si Romy Ocon!!, There" Wooohooo!! With a cooperative subject I was able to play around with my camera settings and equipment swaps. Philippine Hawk-Owl ( Ninox philippensis philippensis, a Philippine endemic) Mt. Makiling, June 1, 2008 40D + 300mm + 2x + 1.4x Kenko TCs, @ 840mm, f 25.2, 1.6 sec, ISO 200, Manual Focus/Exposure, Live View, Supported by Manfrotto 055PROB, 393 Gimbal Head, Remote Shutter, Raw Capture, Cropped and resized. Full Frame @ 4 sec he he he

Must be a world record at wild birds, this 4 sec shutter speed! Did you try using the bare 150-500?

I don't know why it was that long when the other shots were slower than 1.6 sec. I've noticed that at a certain aperture, while using live view, the exposure remains the same. I don't know if I pressed something in the setting to make it this way??? The bare 150-500 shoot was in the test thread.
