At this distance, I probably need an f/16 to get all in within the DOF.... Romy Ocon, Philippine Wild Birds

Now, there's less than 5% left, threatening the survival of many of our endemic birds (close to 180 species, mostly forest dwellers)... Romy Ocon, Philippine Wild Birds

The challenge in capturing it well is to get close and shoot in subdued lighting (overcast) so as not to blow out the iridescent back... Romy Ocon, Philippine Wild Birds

I used the poor man's IS - shooting in bursts at shutter speeds slower than 1/focal length. Many of the pics in the burst have camera shake, but a few squeezed through without vibration and are pixel-sharp. Romy Ocon, Philippine Wild Birds
