A birdnut in a print ad

[Romy Ocon]

Just a shameless plug, folks..... if you have today's Philippine Daily Inquirer, there's a full page print ad of Canon at page D4 that has some snapshots of shooters with their Canon gear. I can recognize John Chua and a familiar looking birdnut. Not sure if the ad appears in other papers too. ;D

Congratulations Romy! I do not have a copy of PDI here so could anyone scan and post so we can all see?

[Ralf Nabong]

Congratulations Ka Mastah!

This is it?

[Bobby Kintanar]

I don't have PDI around here - anybody care to scan the page for all here to appreciate? :-)

[Romy Ocon]

Thanks, guys! Kinda tough to scan it, as it's a full pager and the photog's pics are small in the layout. I'm guessing there will be more ads to come.

Congrats, Ka Mastah!

Congrats Ka Mastah!!!

I was on a plane from Cebu to Manila yesterday and chance upon this full page add, could not resist to fold it up and take it. Unfortunately no birding for me in Cebu.

5D2 + 16-35mm L f2.8 II, @ 35mm, f4, 1/80 sec, ISO 400, manual exposure in natural light,hand held, subject distance 0.69m

Wow..... thanks for the scan, partner!!!

For the benefit of others, the familiar birdnut I'm referring to is none other than myself when I was 6 years old and already wielding a P&S (first photo from the left). The second one is advertising photog John Chua, and the 4th from left is my grandpa. The lady in the fifth frame is my girl friday when I go birding in remote places.

Thanks, Bong. This is not yet it, we still have to sign some paperwork.

Yehey, this is something to celebrate! Canon has taken notice of the excellence of Ka Romy's work and we should all be proud to have him as our Ka Mastah!!!! Hep hep hooooorayyyy.

Thanks Neon, for the scan! This makes my day! :-)

Calls for real celebration, Romy. Congratulations. I am very proud to be your friend

Yesterday, I complained to my hubbadubba Bert why he got PhilStar. Early today, he handed me the spread which he got from somewhere... (maybe the neighbor's newpaper or the diario bote guy) and asked ala James Bond "Is this what you have been looking for???"

congrats on this Romy. I guess the "project" is related to this and your inquiry at naturescapes?

[JV Noriega]

Congrats on this Romy! Its a well deserved recognition of your excellent work in bird photography.
