This morning in UP Diliman, while impatiently waiting for the Narcissus Flycatcher, Prof. Jerry brought us to where we could photograph the Philippine Nightjar in full frame. We - Gabs, Jun Ov, Prof Jerry and myself - left behind Doc Chito and his wife to look after the flycatcher.
Indeed, we saw the nightjar and captured it in full frame.. and it was fully awake! What surprised us altogether is that this nightjar is cross-billed!
While shooting, Prof. Jerry jokingly told everyone that since we're getting photographs in full frames, the "chimney" should be clear enough. By "chimney," he was referring to the protrudding nostrils of the nightjar which I first pointed out last May 2010 when I enlarged a picture of an upright nightjar taken near Vargas Hall.
Actually, we can also count the nightjar's whiskers!
Here's my full frame:
Enlarged to 200%:
Enlarged to 400%:
Canon EOS 50D + EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM + Benro Half-Gimbal Head and Tripod... 1/20, f/5.6, iso200, timed shutter release
