Miao Hunting in KL Bird Park

Warning!!! Heavy Images Post ahead.




Last weekend, I went for a bird photo shooting session with the guys (Ser, Kimfei, Sleepyhao, Robin and Darryl). I had so much there with my 400D and Darren's Canon 55-200 USM tele lens. Thanks Darryl!


This is my first time to a bird park and photographing birds. To be honest, I only knew about the existence of such place a few months ago through Robin's blog. Hahaha...Some more the bird park is the world's largest free flight bird park, I bet not much Malaysian know about it either. XD


Without wasting much time, we paid the entrance fee of RM15, hurried in the park, took out our gears and started shooting right away.


And this little bird's feathers were so colorful that making stands out of the group of birds and became our first victim of the day.


Actually, I have been wanting to shoot animals for a long time but due to the lack of a tele, its hard for me to go shoot them from far in the zoo. With my current equipments, I can only shoots house pets and the only pets I have, are the hamster brothers and they two are SO incorporate.


I like this shot very much, the blue background really adds in the contrast and color and making the whole photo much more colorful.


Hehehe...I just noticed my field of interest is really wide, from drawing, designing to photographing but what I do at work have nothing to do with my interest at all. I guessed most of the people out there are making money out of something they have no interest in too.


An attempt to frame the bird.

This bird reminds me of Japan. If not mistaken, I think this is the bird that changes into a lady at night and return a good deed to a kind man according to a Japanese Fairytale.


I wonder what wax did it used for his SuperSaiya hair style. I have no idea what to write here.


This is such a coincidence, I was trying to shoot the bird from its side and it spreads its wing at that very moment for me. Thank you birdie~~~


I don't know why but peacock always gives me this Indian feeling.

One thing I noticed is that peacock is a true attention seeker, it will opened its feathers and showing out to everyone. It even rotates like a satellite dish to showing its feather 360 degree. =.=. And I thought wanting a peacock to show its feather its a rare sight.

Taking shoots of peacocks get bored after a while when....



The peacocks are everywhere!!!! The flamingo ponds, the waterfall, in the trees....basically every little corner of the bird park. Seriously, I think we can named the bird park as peacock park.


Something different, a white peacock. It seems like very lonely since its the only white peacock there and the only peacock left in cages. While the others are infested the bird park =.=


I don't know why but these two birds keep looking me as if I owed them money. O.o



Don't you think so too?

These birds are really as fierce as how they looked like. I almost got bitten by the big white bird above when I was trying to make it pose for my photo. A stupid attempt by the cat.


I'm not really a big fan of birds but I found ducks to be very very cute especially when they walk and waving their little tail at the back.


And one of my favourite birds of all....is the Toucan!!!

Its like a hornbill without the horn!!! Gosh, I just adored them. Who wanna get me one? :P















And that's the end of our photo shooting. :D
It was fun!! ^^

18 people fed miao :3:
