As the first post in the new group, I'm posting links to my birding lens tests: 1. Bigma (Sigma 50-500) vs Canon 400 5.6L vs Canon 100-400 L IS Photo of the...
... Hi Marisol, Orly, Nicky and Nilo, Thanks for joining.... there's only a handful of Philippine bird photographers around. We might as well form a small...
Hi Romy, Thank you for the invitation. I agree with you that there are only few photographers of wild birds and even general wildlife in this country. There...
Hi Nilo and Group, Invitation to join for Bobby and Vernie has just been sent. I'd encourage everybody to invite others, so we can get the ball rolling right...
Hello Romy, How are you? Thank you for the invitation. If you come by Singapore please let us know we have a lot of bird photographers around and we can take...
Welcome to the group, Vernie. Love your plant and animal shots, specially the Chestnut Munia hiding behind the grass. On a Nikon 1.5 crop factor DSLR, a 300 mm...
Hi Marisol, Welcome to our new e-group. That's an amazingly detailed capture by Con, very colorful bird and a background to die for. I was at Singapore early...
Hi Marisol, Congratulations to Con for the excellent shot. The bee-eater photo reminds me of a similar shot that got an all time high rating in Greenspun’s...
Hi Romy, I noticed that all your recent forest birds (Spider hunter, Handsome Sunbird) were captured using ISO800. And they looked far better that your...
Hi everyone, I'm TJ Parpan based in Manila. My first birding experience started last December at the War Memorial and I've been hooked ever since. Thanks...
Hello, Romy & everyone! Glad to be a part of this community. I'm surprised to read from other threads that there are just a few Philippine Bird Photographers....
Hahaha... Ding, most of our birds are very suspicious about human presence. I really can’t blame them because our lenses are much larger than the barrels...
Hi Everyone, When I started birding, I was using a Manfrotto ball head and I found that it made it difficult to quickly line-up a shot. After checking the...
Hi TJ, Welcome to our new e-group, looks like you're starting to amass a nice collection of birds there. With your 200 VR zoom and Tamron 200- 500, I guess...
Hi Nilo, There are three main factors that contributed to cleaner shots at ISO 800 for me: 1. I can get closer to birds now (longer reach/improved birding ...
Welcome to the group, Ding. How're you faring with the 400 5.6L? Wish we can shoot the doves and malkohas (sabukots) in your backyard one of these days. Romy ...
How did you buy your Jobu GH, TJ? Did you order it on-line, or bought it abroad in person? I believe gimbal heads are not stocked locally. BTW, for Canon...
Guys and gals, We have 11 new members on our first day (as of 6:30 pm, Manila time, June 7). To be honest, judging from your responses, I'm surprised that...
Sir, I dropped by the factory of one of my friends and found that his place is a sort of haven for birds. It's the only place with significant greens in the...

Sir Bob, I can't access that site because I'm still in the office (Firewall rules :-(. Anyway, I'm sure the others can help with the bird ID. I'll will check...
Welcome to the e-group, Ka Rene. So far, it's not a club yet... just an informal e-group for the moment. But who knows, if there will be enough of us bird...
Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to ID my bird photos Sir Romy! I hope someday I'll be able to come up with photos that even just come close to...
It's okay sir. Idol Romy ID'd them himself and I'm so thrilled he took the time to do so! Thanks again! Bobby ... rules :-(. Anyway, I'm sure the others can...
Looks like the new Sony Alpha A100 DSLR is shaping up to be a very good beginner's birding gear. http://www.dpreview.com/articles/sonydslra100/ Consider this: ...
