Securely Perched

On 05 and 06 03 2022 from my window at home, I was fortunate to capture Scaly-breasted munia (special thanks to Prof. Yu Su Ling for the information) in action on the red wax bamboo tree Shooting the images from the vantage angle parallelly opposite the tree in my bedroom, I was able to capture the various moments of the action in good comfort. Actually, I spent two and half days capturing different steps of the action. Started with the camera hand held, and later mounted the camera on a tripod. With the 100mm-400mm + 2X converter G-master lens on SonyA7RIII, I managed to capture numerous striking images. This image shown here is further cropped to a more pleasing format.

Perching On A Spiky Branch

I captured this image during my safari trip in East Africa in 2019. I don’t know why this bird perched on a spiky branch. I don’t know the nomenclature of this bird. I would be greatly appreciated if you are aware and share with me. My perception to capture the image is based on the posture of bird and the brilliant lighting on the subject. I think this is the usual features that I search for before I capturing the image.

Brilliant Sun Rise


In the month of November, I hardly encountered a brilliant sunrise. But on the 06 November, I was fortunate to witness another vibrant sunrise at the Lower Seletar Reservoir. First and foremost, anticipating the position of sunrise above the orizone is the prerequisite of capturing the image. The next thing is to know the timing of sunrise. For this image, I have chosen the icon of the Reservoir for the identification of the location. I love the highlight on the rooftop and the lovely reflection of the icon. The early morning mist certainly added the perfect atmosphere for the image. I think your eyesight is as sharp as mine in identify the tiny figure of the flying bird.
