Ten years ago I visited the Singapore Zoo, met my Zoo guide Pamela Wildheart and decided to call our little company Wildheart. I wasn't allowed Wildheart because Colette Dinnigan had registered Wildheart for her lingerie range. So Wildheart Adventures was born.
One of the most attrative features of Singapore Zoo is the ability to view animals in relatively natural habitats. Most can be viewed without looking through glass or wire mesh.
Half the group were on DSLRs and the other half on small compacts - almost exclusively Panasonic Lumic TZ10s. The TZ10 is without a doubt the budget wildlife camera par excellence. Those with DSLRs and long lenses were given the sermon about aperture priority, monopods, tripods and gastropods. Here area few of their results.
The photographs that appeal to me the most are the images of mothers with babies; in particular the primates. They are just so like us (ora rae we like them). I think we could all learn a lot about child rearing by spending a day or two ay the zoo.
