Eye of the Tiger - SG Zoo trip

I know WildLife photography needs lots of patience and knowing the animal's characteristic will surely be a very much needed knowledge to get the best shot. Going to the zoo provided me with this small little opportunity to know more about wildlife photography.

I stood among the crowded in the Albino Tigers encaged area in September and took this shot.

To me, i waited for a couple of mins with my eyes wide open. Waiting for the right time, right moment and the right turning of the head in my direction..... *snap snap snap snap snap*

All these with alot of test shots, settings changes, continouos shooting mode plus many other considerations and there, at that moment and split second, i face "danger". Danger is the tiger and i faced it. Though our distance are many many many metres apart and when it look into my eye thru my camera and lens, i knew i had captured the look. The look i had always imagine in my mind, many times over and over again, visually how it will look as my photo in print.

I would like to share this little moment with you, Looking into the face of danger.

All these taken in a very safe distance outside the tiger's enclosure.

Marina Barrage - November 1st

Marina Barrage - Reservoir in the city

Singapore just opened the latest Reservoir - coined Reservoir in the City (Marina Barrage).
Located at the Marina Bay area, facing the southern most sea facing area of singapore, Marina Barrage was opened to much fanfare on last Friday 30th October. I made a trip there to take some photos and with my beloved to enjoy a nice saturday afternoon on 1st Nov. It's such a nice weather on saturday.

I went there via bus and came back by Boat ride. All of my timing were so lucky that we managed to catch a bus there, seated among the crowd. And we got back to Esplanade via the last boat ride with nice view of the Singapore Flyer upclose and the angle was from the boat. Truly astonishing!

I am still in the mist of running thru and processing my pictures.

Stay tune for my pics.
