Hi All,

I just went there today from 11am till 2pm, went through all the routes 1-3 but I only saw 2 birds from afar..

my 250mm lens only took a small image of them.

Can any kind soul tell me what is good time to catch plenty of them up close and personnel?

Thanks,
Shawn

Not a good season for birds now.
Sit and wait for your chance to see a rare bird

250mm can't shoot birds... too small.
Many ppl carrying 400 to 600mm lens to shoot.

Prize not attractive enough.

velasco · 11th August 2009

any news on the results of this competition?

Daedalus Trent · 12th August 2009

nope =x

My daughter received an email from Nparks on 13 Aug saying that her photo (under 16 catergory) is selected for final judging. So hopefully, we will know the results soon.

She was only using a S$180 point and shoot camera. I helped her to crop the image so that it focuses on the main subject, but the cropped image is only 1280x800. So I doubt the photo will make it through the final judging.
