Bird Paradise

It's been a very, VERY long while since I've managed to capture a SERIES of good shots with my camera. The last time I had was during the Inter-Campus Gathering in Penang, October 2007. Since then, I was kinda frustrated. My photos did not live up to my personal expectations. I somehow felt that my creativity and skills were gone. At one point, I even considered quitting this hobby of mine. Owh yeah, that's the "emo" me. Huhu...

Anyway, I've recently visited the KL Bird Park. This time around, I am very happy and satisfied with the result. After such a long wait, I felt that my "inspiration" is finally back! :)

Owh, by the way, this is an example of how a compact camera can be more versatile than a DSLR : Most of the birds were kept in steel cages. A normal DSLR lens would never fit in through the gaps! Huhu.. I did take some risks though; my camera was almost attacked twice!

Aightz , here are the photos. Feel free to drop by your comments ya :)
