I didn't know the White Collared is in the $10 note? You are right, this bird is very common, I can even hear it calling at my block.
I've not seen a S$10,000 before, did a quick google image search, couldn't find any bird, do you have the pics of this note?

I've captured all those birds.

I've captured all those birds.

Nice BIF of the White Bellied Eagle!! I will be surprised if you have not captured all these birds! I think you should start a thread in World of Nature gallery to showcase the actual birds on the currency notes...no one did yet

Quite good lens and skill.. Will definitely get one one of this soon... Saw tigershiok use this lens reverse mount in Bishan Park for macro, I am surprised at the results the lens gave!:thumbsup:

If you have Singapore "Bird Series" currency notes issued between 1976 and 1984, this is the kingfisher on the $10 notes.

Taken with K30 & DAL 55-300

Thanks! 55-300 is a reasonably good kit lens. Of course it can't be compared to the 300mm primes. Luckily my copy produces shots with good IQ when the lighting is favorable. Heard from one of the guys that some copies are not as good. Remember to test the lens properly before you buy.

Vietnam Sunset from 21st floor open deck Summit Bar, Sofitel Plaza Hanoi

#1 Should have used GND filter, but left it in room. No choice, make the best using setting Kr DA15 ISO200 f22 2 seconds

#2 Kr DA15 ISO200 f22 2 seconds

#3 Rare moments of sun's rays Kr DA35 ISO200 f22 3 seconds

#4 Use Canikon photographers as silhouette

Some landscape/citiscape shots taken with K5-IIs to share:

#1 the one in the K5-II/s thread is very reddish, but it's really reddish sky that day, this pic I tweaked to more orangy.

Thanks, I always have problem w water droplets
My attempts were always not in focus , the droplet shape outline not visible. I think must have been the f number, too small f1.8-2.0 usually.
