Thanks Edmund ...

actually we ( keito , ichijo , willy and violett ) were lucky . We came out from the butterfly area at 1610 hrs and saw 1 of the zoo keeper was riding bicycle with a bucket of fish ... later heard a loud bell rang and many Storks were flying towards him ... saw more than 50 Storks were flying around ...

Yes, thats the Storks feeding time, around 4.15pm . We do intend to go to the zoo to "camp" there sometime in one of the later Zoo trips because thats our best chance of improving our panning techniques. Also, it is a great chance to learn and understand your camera's metering well since it will be more difficult to get a perfectly exposed shot in this type of situation (contrasty sky vs largely white body of the storks and other darker colored parts of the storks).

wah ! got to spend a lot of $$ on slides to take such shots ... anyway it is worth it if it turn out good ...

maybe stand at the far end corner to take the storks against the trees ..


now then I know that the animals are active when come to feeding time .. make my membership worthwhile to go back to shoot those that I miss ..

When??? When ??? When???? Can I join?

By the way, Megaweb, nice shots!

For this one, you should have followed Darren's advice to stand a little bit to the right to shoot against all green background instead of the tree trunks. They are quite distracting. Go back there again next week?
