Bird + Orchid + Hibiscus Park
...or farm. I can't quite recall what they named it.
Anyway I went photoshoot with Esther again. We were overly ambitious to shoot every single park that's available there. But unfortunately, the bird park alone took us like 2 hours. So the deer and butterfly park will have to wait.
It's definitely ain't easy to shoot birds(with a DSLR) when most of the feather fellas were inside a cage. Wanna test how good/smart your lens can auto-focus? Go to a bird park.
It's not too bad inside, still having quite a number of species running/flying/hanging freely in the entire park. Don't ask me bout names, I can only identify the common ones.
The ostrich area apparently wasn't barricaded properly. Yeah, they have 7 foot fences at the front, but at the back, its just like a 4-5 foot cliff with small plants growing along the line. Can just easily jump inside(both visitors and the birds!). Talk about one of the most aggressive avian in there.
As for the hibiscus and orchid park, I barely took any shots. Probably Esther have better pics. Of all the days, we chose the day where there wasn't a single cloud up the sky. It was around 1.30pm and I thought I'm gonna die of heatstroke while trying to snap macro shots, squatted down.
Anyway, most flowers there looks dried up and dead, in comparison 'ikan kering' look much better. Not to forget a group of Jap youth came visiting the hibiscus park when we're there. Probably a group of 50 youths with a few tour guides. Poor fellas.
"Bring them to Mid Valley...bring them to Mid Valley", as I was exclaiming to myself.
P/s: I don't think I have any hibiscus nor orchid pics. lol
This looks bloody creepy. Trust me, I was viewing it at 200% zoomed-in
...and this looks rather silly
