SHORT-TAILED GREEN MAGPIE@ ULU KALI@ 15 November 2012
During shooting of Magpie, I have a difficulty to take a picture of her - 1st because she move unexpectedly and relatively fast. And secondly, during that time so many new birds around RADAR perched on open branch not far from me, I distracted of this kind of situation- I always afraid to loose some great picture of new bird and which one to be prioritized - And the third reason It was unpredictable weather, sometimes good but then change immediately become misty. The problem during misty, the picture result become blur... In fact, most of my MAGPIE pictures of are not so clear and sharp, because of mist situation. Regardless of mist situation and blur result, I am not too much disappointed and it is not futile of struggling for long distance journey and it is located the up hill of Mountain Ulu Kali Genting Highland , ... Well it's about 56 KM from KL ... my friend. |
