Collared Kingfisher

Went to Changi beach, the plan is to shoot hornbill as i saw a few of them the last time i went there. Waited for 1hrs, no sight of the bird i want to shoot. When i was about to give up and proceed to the next location for sunset shooting, i saw kingfisher. This breed is Collared Kingfisher and it is pretty common in Singapore. So no fish, prawn also can..

Sunrise at Punggol

Wake up at 6am, get my photography equipments ready and at time 6.20am, i am out of my house. Drive my way to Punggol Marina, there is one area where no street lamp are available so my mind started to think negative...haha (Ghost 7th month). About to arrive at my location, surprisingly that the area is seal due to construction. Quickly drive to Punggol jetty, park my car and proceed to another shooting location. By the time i arrive there, it is already 6.45am. The sun is not out yet but i am able to see a very nice scenary.



At around 7am, the sun is up.



Lesson learnt from this experience

- Bring along a long range lens so that i can shoot a bigger size egg yolk.
- Remove any filter from the lens to prevent glare.
- Bring along a GND filter.

i will go there for sunrise shooting again....

Cohesion Day at East Coast Park

Finally, a Cohesion Day! It is a day where we put our work aside, enjoy the activities and know each other better. A total of 75 personnel from my department, split them into 2 group for two sport activities - running and soccer.



At the end of the event, everyone enjoy themselves. ^^

Birding on National day 09

Wake up early in the morning 8am, went to SBG for some birding action.
At around 9.30am, waiting patiently for Sunbird. A lots of people are staring at me strangely that why i am standing there with my camera setup doing nothing.

Finally, my effort paid off. A few Olive-backed Sunbirds arrived.
first pic is a female and the rest is male. Th front of Male Olive-backed sunbird is blue colour.







I am happy with today result.. so went back home around 12pm.

While driving home, drive past Kallang MRT and i recalled that there are some terns actions nearby. So park my car and proceed to check out nearby bid drain. To my suprise, there are so many common terns. Quickly set up my camera for some actions.

Dun you come near me to snatch my food!!!



For you, my love.





Help!! The fish is too big, im choke.....



A good place for terns action.. will go there other time.
