::went to the Botanic Gardens today.. 2nd time I'll be there, but with my S2IS.. had an encounter with the ever ellusive squirrels of the SBG.. fast little fellows and daring too.. jumped across a large gap to the next tree..
went on to the Ecolake where the black swans reside.. this is one of the situations were a polarizing filter would come in handy..


mid-day sun, glaring reflections off the water.. a japanese family were there feeding them some bread.. they went off before I got there, so the swans were starting to swim further out..
then tried my hand at macro-photography..


yet another situation where another kind of filter would come in handy.. the close up filter/lens.. which allows the camera to focus at at shorter distance than it normally would.. getting up close to insects not a problem for me.. except maybe bees and mosquitoes, where I want them as far as possible from me..
felt quite out of place outside the Orchid Gardens.. amist all the tourist there.. noticed a trend in the cameras they carry.. the american tourist with their compact digital camera (and a few with d/SLRs), the indian tourist with the disposible film camera and a singaporean with a prosumer camera..
tried something else besides doing Orchids there..


a Neutral Density filter would make the water much silkier here.. haha.. looks like more buying for me..
ended with Swan Lake again.. and there was a family there feeding them.. talk about de javu.. don't think they'll mind me posting it here..


"family meets family"
well not exactly family for the birds.. the duck was following them wherever they went, sorta an adopted son? see if I can get the filters I mentioned and I'll have another go at SBG..::
