Shoot
the Birds This
was what 20 photographers got to do on a sunny Sunday morning in March.
Under the guidance of Mr Lee Tiah Khee (ARPS), photographer from Friday
Weekly, they were brought through the essentials of nature photography.
Visitors were treated to 30 of Mr Lee's best bird photographs, which adorned
the Nature Gallery during the March school holidays. Each photograph was
accompanied by elegant calligraphy; the phrases romantically composed and
stylishly written out by Mr Chen Cheng, Chief Editor of Lianhe Wanbao. The photographs
featured a wide spectrum of birds in action: from tiny sunbirds feeding
their young, to winter visitors like plovers and sandpipers posing on mudflats,
to majestic kites soaring on thermals and herons engaging in loveplay. Aspiring
nature photographers were invited to participate in a short quiz, where
questions were asked on the camera settings needed to acl-iieve three particular
shots. If you want to "shoot" these birds at Sungei Buloh, bear in mind the following: find out about the birds, get the right equipment, cultivate lots of patience and preserverance, and diligently adhere to the rules of the Park. Happy shooting! We wish to express our appreciation to RGB Color and Kodak for their sponsorship of the development of the photographs.
