Default [LeiNaj] Another day @ e Zoo

Spent half a day at the zoo over the weekend. Pretty much the usual stuffs until my tripod became a play thing for the friend of the forest .... Quite a sight, unfortunately I had my zoom mounted and couldnt get a full shot...

1. The day the tripod became a tree


2. Even the golden monkey came to take a look


3. And the green frog was saying .. how stewpig of that fellow


4. The mangoose stretched their necks to join in the looking ar


5. In actual fact, he mounted the tripod to take a peek at e fish in the pond


... the end

I think with a little bit of fill flash #1 can be imporved a little I like the frog and meerkat(or mongoose?) shots though.

The last one is the deeifn of that giant fish right? Tried taking a pic of it snatching the food? ehehe..

The golden monkey is not a easy subject as I think. I have difficulty to get a sharp img on him.

Oh, please lah. Don't kill them .

Shoot them with your camera if you want to, but don't kill them with your katana.

Just a humble tripod but functional from PPCSG. I think they like it lots, great promotion isnt it. Let's see how many can try use their tripod to tempt them to climb it and post it here ...
