This was a great training session pre-Borneo Jurong was perspiration village this morning! Burping fresh durian I mounteed the monorail with a couple of our group to survey feathered friends.
This a fabulous display of our avion friends but I've a bit of niggle in the back of my mind about the ethics of restraining free animals. Where a species is endangered and the organization has a breeding program that's fine. But with other I'm not so sure.
When nature designed birds it didn't spare the horses on colours or creative design. Framing a a kleidoscope of intricate patterns and saturated colours is a beautiful challenge. But what I loved most was trying to capture the personalities of the birds. These are contributions from group members.
TIP:
1.When photographing through wire mesh -
2. use telephoto lens, wide open aperture eg f4,
3. put camera lens as close as possible to mesh,
4. keep subject as far from background as possible
