I saw this pigeon and although it was quite far, I could not resist taking a picture of this good looking bird so I decided to add a 2X TC on my lens. Later in the day I saw a Tarpaulin with this bird on it and written on it is the name of the bird under Birds of Pinagbayanan. I believe that picture came from Neon. I hope it is the right name. Canon 5DM2, EF 800mm F5.6 IS L Lens with 2X TC, Manfrotto 475B Tripod, MF 373 Gimbal Head ISO 400, 1/500, f13  |

Ely,
Have just one second - on the way out of the door. This is not Ducula. This is a Treron - a male. Will confirm which species when I get back.

Heh heh heh. What kind of Treron? Is it the Tregron Vernans? Thank you for calling my attention and I hope you can give me the right name. Mabuhay. |

Thank you Neon. I stand corrected. It may have been your picture but I gave it the wrong name. |

Lovely shot of a very colorful pigeon, congrats Ely! Thank you Romy. A lifer for me. There are quite a few of them now because of the fruiting trees. It is unfortunate that the Birdwalk is practically empty of birds that use to roost on the trees across the water. I understand that some hunters went to the island. |

Beautiful shot, Ely. One of the best things about this site is that it doesn't only provide us the means to see these beautiful creatures in wonderful pictures but this site also educates us in a way that everybody contributes in his or her own way to share valuable information.
I haven't seen a pigeon as colorful as this one. Thanks for sharing!

wow.. with a 2x at that.. you never cease to amaze me sir! Actually its no fun to shoot with a 2X because you have to focus manually. The best is yet when you can can get near the bird and not use a TC. But when the bird is far you will have no choice but to use a TC. The IQ will not be as good as when there is no TC. |

I haven't seen a pigeon as colorful as this one. Thanks for sharing! Thank you Edu, Ariel & Bob. I like the color too and that is why I force to capture the bird with a 2X TC. You are right about this forum. When you share with others you get to learn a lot on what you are doing and also learn from them on what they are doing. So lets us keep on shooting whenever we can and learn from each other. Mabuhay. |
