我希望像賭猴子门只是擔心下一頓飯是什么 I bet the Monkey only worries about the next meal ...
We agonize over
what will come tomorrow,
We weary about
what happened yesterday,
We forgot that
we are living today

Old timer 歲月不饒人 ...
Time and tide wait for no man or animal
but
We all find ourselves with "time to kill" occasionally ...
I thought about what to post on a Saturday early morning
before my wife and kids wake up ...
"well, there's another ten minutes down the drain"...
but
what could be more gratifying then communicating
my thoughts to my friends across the world
through photography in
through photography in
this blog ...

...... There are lots of these big birds at the Kuala Lumpur zoo. And they are huge wonderful birds which makes it easier to practice Fast Shutter priority to freeze their flight motion. Large birds are actually slower and therefore easier targets. Depending on the kind and tones of the bird, the suggested baseline manual settings are 1/500th to 1/1000th second for shutter speed. I was told that the baseline setting are f4.0 to f8 for aperture. The general rule seems to be if the bird is darker, then the Aperture should be bigger (small f number like f/4) to ease up on under-exposing the image. (But here as my camera was on shutter priority, it calibrated itself for an f/16). It is suggested therefore to use "M" or "Manual" mode to work within the baseline Shutter and Aperture Settings. Lots of light is the best condition so that the ISO number can be tuned to lowest possible like ISO200 or even ISO100. (In my case, it was ISO640 as I was shooting under a lot of shades). Focus lock of half-pressing the shutter is important to lock in the focus of the bird while tracking its motion using the viewfinder. I still find it needs lots of practice which makes "Photographing birds in flight" a very challenging and enjoyable photography subject.

...... Inside the KL Zoo, there is a small safari with some enclosure from the public and the animals are at a distance. I envisioned the Rhino as the goal keeper with the ball (coconut) ready to kick it to mid field. Here, in this shot, I experimented with a 2 shot HDR. In my opinion, extreme and subtle HDR processing are both wonderful and perhaps suitable for different types of photography subjects and conditions of the image. For this HDR procssing of the Rhino, I was using just a little bit of HDR tuning.
