A wonderful experience flying through the clouds in a Mavic 2.

The drone came back abit moist but otherwise fully intact.

Water Birds at Lim Chu Kang

Today went to Lim Chu Kang to join in the wait for the water birds. Didn't really get what I was waiting for but others came to provide some relief.

Evening @ The Barrage

Going to Fraser soon so just wanted to be more familiar with the Mavic.

Here's a shot of the Flower done when the sun is setting. Still quite hight though.

West Coast Pier

The West Coast of Singapore is basically allocated for logistics and Ship building/repair.

Singapore being a very small island, we can see that all the activities are very much placed close together. Shipyards , Marina, and the Container logistics handing.

All within a small distance from each other. You can see how densely everything is integrated and how well managed everything is.

Dawn at the Singapore Barrage

With the advancement in technology, photo taking has advance many notch above what it was when I started shooting.

Even till now, it is purely a hobby which I pursue as a form of destress.

Here'is a few shot taken at the Marina Barrage using the DJI Mavic 2 Pro.

After a long time not posting here, I decided to start posting again. To share more beautiful places and birds to all. Hope you enjoy them.

Haven't been posting to the blogs for ages since I have post the photos at facebook. But after some time, it just doesn't feels right. 

So I'm back to posting some writeups. 

Have been seeing many people shooting the Rosy starling. Found it interesting so went down to Garden by the Bay where the bird was sighted to have a look.

When I reached the place, it started to rain quite heavily. But the rain lasted about as long as the time it took us to put our cameras into the protective covers. . .

Continued with the search and voila ... Found it ... (Found the spot where the bird was located. Coz there were many people already there!)

Waited and searched for a short while and someone found the fellow. Wet wet....

Wet Rosy

It didn't stay too long. We took a couple of shots and it flew off.

Waited for quite some time before it came back. This time quite dry. And looked much better.

Rosy Singing

Rosy Posing for us

We had to wait for it to move to different locations before getting better shots. Took us quite some time to get the shots we wanted. Was really fun.

Of course after getting the shots we wanted, we went around the place looking for some other birds. We only found the common ones. Nothing really different but nevertheless fun shoot.

Below are some of the birds we managed to capture on our cameras.

Red Breasted Parakeet

Oriental White Eye after the rain. The looked Dry. Wonder where they were hiding during the rain.

Common Tailorbird

Black Naped Oriole feeding

All in all, had a great time shooting at the Garden By the Bay.

I have not posted here for an extended period of time. As I have been sharing on other social platforms. However, I think I will try to keep line alive if I could. Here are some of my later shots.

PANTI FOREST - JUNE 2014

Two walk about in Panti forest. A fun and exciting place. You never know what to expect.

BAD WEATHER

Last week. One of the morning I woke up and saw this!

My first reaction is wow! Just had to take out my camera and shoot.....

This is a 5 shot HDR. With some post processing ....

RARE BIRDs Found in SIngapore (March Backdated)

For the past few days, there had been a big rush to the Chinese Garden. A Band Bellied Crake was found there. This is supposed to be a rare bird. Understand that this is the first sighting in singapore!

Created a big wave in the birding community. Throes of photographers rushed there. Lucky this bird wasn't the shy type. Gave everyone an opportunity to shoot.

Pulau Ubin (APR)

Haven't been posting here for the past 3 months. Was so engrossed in shooting birds. Lots and lots of them.

Was also a little busy on the work front so that's life.

Anyway, though I haven't posted here doesn't mean I haven't been shooting.

Here's some of the more interesting shots I have done these couple of months.

Baby tailorbird.

Here's a shot of the fledging tailorbird. This is shot in April. The little one seems like fell out of the nest. Probably trying out it's wings but it still isn't really able to fly.

Another shot of the little one calling out to it's parents for food.

White Rumped Shama

A shot of the White Rumped Shama. It's a lovely bird. Saw it at Chek Jawa entrance. Always jumping around the area.

Magpie Robin

Scarlet Backed Flowerpecker

All these and more are found in Ubin. Really a lovely place to go for a short walk.

Purple Throated Sunbird

The purple Throated Sunbird. One of the less seen birds. It's still quite common around just that it's skittish and might not be in the breeding colors all the time.

If I have more time, would walk around Ubin more ... Tiring but fun.

Japanese Garden

It hasn't rained for months. At least nothing more than a short passing shower. Today it rained. And it rained hard.

We have planned to go to Venus drive to look for the Black backed KF. But the rain kept us away.

Having brought out all the equipment, we were not prepared to  return without at least going for a shoot. So we decided to go to the Japanese garden for a short walk.

After the rain, there were plenty of action going on. Nothing spectacular but still real fun.

Here's some of the birds @ Japanese Garden.

Brown Shrike

Chinese Pond Heron in Breeding Plummage

Oriental White Eye

Asian Brown Flycatcher
