KL Butterfly Park

_DSC0917

One expression sums everything up....OMFG.
And i thought shooting the birds in Bird Park was tough enough. Until i come across these bunch of flying 8 legged creatures.

As usual with my photoshooting partner Esther, we arrived quite early, bout 9.30am. Barely any butterflies around. Then bout 45 mins later, the amount just doubled up. Not bad, these are trully Malaysian butterflies, slow and never early for anything.

Anyway, the tough part will be getting a close-up shot of them as the barely stay still! So actually 1/3 of my shots are flowers, fishes, some other insects and even monkeys (oh so pathetic).

Btw, all these are shot using my new Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens with heliopan UV filter :) The outcome is amazing. Of course still need more than that to freeze the butterflies while they are moving around.
