*Click snap!*

Went on a very unsatisfying trip to the national zoo. I think the trip can be summed up in one word : Bleh. It was not as interesting as I'd have hoped, and I think Kin Meng and Lisa would agree with me on that one.

First of, the exhibitions were a little dull. It might have been the time of day, it might have been that we came when there was nothing going on. But then again, when I looked at the exhibition sites, I was like "Erm, okay.." Colour was not that exciting either, being so brown and whatnot, though I do get that some zoos have to be very earthly / naturely colour themed.


Then there were the animals themselves, which I cannot fault them, to be honest. The most captivating of all the animals there were birds. The others just did not seem to um, capture our interest as much as the birds did. Monkeys came quite close, though. Oh and that little naked dude (who Kin Meng said escaped from the monkey cage area).


So in the end, both Kin Meng and I decided to concentrate a little more on birds, more than anything else. We tried to get Bird In Flight (B.I.F) shots, testing out the 40d's auto-focus and the lens' focus speed. Was not too bad, actually. Managed to get a few nice ones.




Of course, there were the um, enclosed area of birds as well, though there were not that many that captured my attention.

Hopefully the next trip we go on (maybe the bird, butterfly or any one of the Lake Gardens places) will be better. They better be. And we're looking for new places to take photos. So, suggestions? Do comment.
