Some old nature shots

Nice catch on #65, some serious sharp canniness & attitude to match.

Wish I can be like that sometimes. Just bare all my teeth & chomp

Thanks Light Machinery. Yeah... I sometime envy the animals too... There are too much politics in human life.

Errr.....#65 has quite a good set of teeth except some tartar's showing, time to visit the dentist & #68 looks like a bunch of caveman disappointed with the rain coz they can't go hunting....................:bsmilie:

Thanks. I personally find that #65 is quite overexposed. I try to do some PP, but the result is bad (maybe I am still not skilled enough).

73) Part of the legs are chopped off... I was rushing to get away after a quick snap. There are three wild dogs and all of them are actually barking at me... and trying to get up the slop... standing between me and the dogs are a small fence, which they can easily squeezed through, I don't fancy my chance of surviving against three full size mongrel without my monopod.

When I go for walks in parks, I normally carry a Gopro monopod with me as a deterrent to stray dogs. Some stray dogs are aggressive and they will chase any passers by. There were times when I have been threatened by aggressive stray dogs.

The gopro monopod is about 20 cm folded and opens up to about 1m. Cost around USD 10 on Aliexpress/Ebay with free shipping.

It is not as impressive as a full size monopod, but it is compact enough to go into a mid size waist pouch. It is not expensive, so even it is is damaged, it does not cost much to replace.

I have a Manfrotto 680B which I gotten second hand from one of the bro here in Clubsnap. It is a good monopod, abit on the heavy side though. When I taken that shot, I was on the way to work so I didn't bring my monopod with me. Saw three of the dogs... they saw me with my 7D and started barking madly, and rushing up the slope. So I took a few quick shots the walked off quickly. Most of the shots are not very well focus though.

The fierce dogs... too bad these are the few shots that are close to focusing better. I am frighten when I take the shots.

Hi Chong Yi. Nice head shot on the cat. Looks like a cat portraiture.

I have never liked mynah but I find the ones with a crest have a rather aggressive temperament. Shot some quite long ago.

Well, if you know how to read dogs, (look carefully at the pics) 73 & 75, is very aggressive they may bite at any moment, 74 & 76 is just warning you. Take care when with dogs.

Thanks for the compliment.

Yeah, I agree with you with regards of the dogs too. I have four dogs (two passes away quite some years ago). Actually I believe those dogs are also frighten when they saw me... a weird fella with something in his hands pointing at them. I think I have intrude into their territory, thats why they tried to chase me away.
