Emeralds Of The Forest

Emeralds Of The Forest
We took a short little hike through the Southern Ridges in Singapore today, starting from the Hort Park. I was expecting to do some macro photography and brought along my macro lens and tripod. Ultimately, I relied more on the longer reach of my 70-200mm lens. As for the tripod, I had to abandon it and use the surrounding railings for support since the metal bridges of the Forest Walk we were on magnified the tremors from the footsteps of every passer-by, making the use of the tripod pointless. I am happy to have gotten some decently sharp pictures in the end!

Squawking Seagulls

Squawking Seagulls
When I visited Sydney six years ago on vacation, pelicans were in abundant numbers. This time around, there was more seagull action to be caught… In fact, I didn’t come across a single pelican during the short period I had for photography. This is one of the seagull action shots that complimented quite nicely the pelican shot I took previously.

Newlands Lamb
Ah… the joys of being able to use both hands again 🙂 Apologies for the lack of updates of late as I recover from hand surgery. Up to a week ago, using the keyboard was still stiff and painful. For this week at least, the keyboard is starting to feel a little more comfortable and hence this update… taken from the Newlands Valley during my trip there earlier in April.
