Final Update

My apologies to everyone for the late update, I was tied up with chngpe01, Fred and s_wrx over at the venue for the 2nd session (lunch/workshop). We were preparing the place for the event this afternoon.

For those who are taking the transportation to the birdpark, please meet by 8am at Boon Lay MRT station control. I, Larry and other CS members will be there to liaise the transport.

For those who are driving to the birdpark on your own, please meet outside the birdpark (the gate along the road) by 8:30am. chngpe01 and other CS members will be there to liaise with you.

That's about all, cya all tomorrow!

Thanks very much to s_wrx, Avatar and especially the volunteers who shared with the rest of us the finer aspects of bird photography and the use of long lenses.

Already looking forward to the next outing !

Not forgetting Nikon SIngapore for their 'loan' of the big mama lenses . Thanks to everyone who organized one way or another, and it was nice meeting you all!

Thanks to Avatar for his loan of his D2H and Harlequin for his D2H + 600/4 and also the other helpers like Fred, Michelle and PE. Not forgetting our 'lens-hood hero' - Garion as well

I certainly enjoyed the session and learned many things as well. Total nOoB enjoying myself. Looking forward to the next Nikon + Clubsnap collaboration again.

How about having more D2H and SB-800s this time? Heehee...

Thanks to all who made this event a resounding sucess.

And congratulations to our Lens Hood Hero's promotion. It was well deserved. :devil: :devil: :devil:

 

[Harlequin]

A picture of the famous Lens Hood promoter would be ideal. :devil:

Thanks to Nikon Singapore, Chngpe01, Avatar, Jeremy (and Mrs), Harlequin, Fred, s_wrx, willyfoo, Larry, Garion and all the participants for making this workshop a successful!

I am pleased to be a part of this event.

Did anyone notice that JBP is equally a success? (No doubt, there are rooms for further improvements ) For one thing, I am actually seeing various species of birds breeding within JBP! These birds are adapting very well here. That in itself is another good reason to cheer about!

Hurray! :cheergal: :cheergal: :cheergal:

Those chesnut bee-eaters looks fat and full of energy. Well its time for us to go JBP during the low season.
Lots of shooting opportunity.
