Botanic Gardens Outing - 31 May 2003

Darren · 1st June 2003

Many thanks to all that turned up at the Botanic Gardens yesterday for the shoot. At first, thought was going to be cancelled due to rain, but luckily it stopped. Conditions were pretty good with cloudy-bright skies but the humidity was a killer.

Here are some shots taken yesterday. Enjoy enjoy!

Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 @ 165mm. 1/125s @ f/5.6

All the shots are very well-exposed. I like the last shot best.

Hi Darren

You have captured the Little Heron in its natural envirnoment very well. A very good shot there.

Not sure if it would be even better if slightly more space is given to the left with the right cropped abit. Anyway it's just an after thought.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments, Peng Eik.

Actually, I have a few more shots of this guy (was about to leave the Botanic Gardens when I spotted this fella fishing) - managed to get within 10 feet because it was so engrossed. Will post the rest of the pictures in my gallery later.

All are great, and the last pic is just perfect for me.

Btw, is it a D1X??
