35 hour trip to the Philippines

[Raymond J Barlow]

The dial up here is a blazing 28 kbps, and getting all this done is a task!! but it keeps me out of the heat and humidity. I am experimenting with my 200-400 for close ups, my 18-70 for street photography, the 105 sigma for macro, and learning lots!!

Here are a few, lots more in the link below., I am not doing too well with the birds.. the few that are around here are skittish like crazy, so check out the link for the rest of the stuff!

Hello Ray,
Great photos, 2,3,4 Very clear.

I can relate with you about the 35 hour flight. Only it's 24 hours for us but still the same it's long. We fly into Manila and then drive 4 hours to San Jose.

35 hour trip???!!!

Wonderful shots, as always. I always like the look of kingfishers, and that dragonfly is sharp and detailed. The 2 shots of the other bird are also beautifully sharp and nicely composed (with that hint of red from the flowers).

Hope you have a great trip to the rainforest...fascinating places just teeming with bird, animal, reptile and insect life.

Up to your excellent standars - hope you do not get too steamed up in the forest.
