The Gazing Sundbird























There are moments when i feel shooting small subject is hectic and tiring but it pays to wait. Some of the regular basis i learned so far through capturing wild and nature. 
1. Be at the place before the subject appear; so that we are prepared.
2. Keep low profile to animal; don't wear striking attire.
3. Don't wait too long; but the longer the better.
4. Bean bag, monopod, tripod, just name it ; could be packing kilo's to backpack.
5. Be patient to wait for the right moment and click the shutter.
6. Keep on hiding ; keep your eyes open , alert for nature sounds.

Sunbirds























It is about time to venture into new area of photography. A wise word of wisdom "think out of the box". So its finally here at Labuan  , i started photographing birds. Its kind of passion and compliments at the end of the day. Some of my early experience in this arena; get bitten by bunch of bad mosquito, get stuck in the mud, not enough focal length and even no bird to shoot. Its like making a day in action for bird's photography. However its really a nice moment to capture especially when it comes to sunbird families.
