For me, the lens I used then was Nikon AFS 500mmf/4D IF-ED II plus TC-14EII.

Dear All, the following message is from MOG.

Quote:

My name is Alice Mendoza and I am the part-time marketing, educational and heritage consultant at Mandai Orchid Garden.

As you might have read in the Straits Times report, Hedrick, the Garden's curator of orchids, Mark, the artist-in-resident and myself has formed a 'Save-the-Heritage-Garden' committee.

We are therefore very pleased and thrilled about your blog - THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you - please extend the invite to your Clubsnap thread - to the Singapore Orchid Show, which is part of the Singapore Garden Festival.

We are putting up a historical retrospective display - a homage to the history and heritage of Mandai Orchid Garden, our founders and so on.

You will have to get tickets though - it's $8 per person for weekdays and $12 for weekend.

The Garden Festival will be open to the public from 15 July to 22 July.

Please keep up with the fantastic work - BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS!!

Best Regards,

Alice

skfoo, thanks for starting this thread and bringing up the awareness that this Eden is at stake. It inspired the local Pentax community to head out to MOG to have their monthly outing in July.
