I like birds. Do you like birds?

Did you know Singapore has over 300 (probably close to 400) recorded species of birds? Besides your commonly seen pigeons and crows and the occasional hornbill, there's a lot more living right under your noses. So, dig your nose, open your ears, and look up - there's a whole world of avian beauties waiting to be discovered on this tiny island nation!

Why I shoot in NLog

No luts, no plugins, just good ol' manual grading just the way I like it.

Birding in Sri Lanka was such a blast!

Though most of the birds I photographed were found deep in forest reserves, my most memorable encounters were actually those I found myself just around the lodges I stayed at. I felt no rush and pressure and had all the time in the world to wait and learn the bird's behaviour - oftentimes requiring 2 of 3 sessions of re-visiting the same spot just to get a cleaner shot.

Leftover dumps from Sri Lanka

Spent 2 out of 10 days looking for wildlife, another day half vomiting on windy mountain roads, another day getting my shin split open by nasty hillside climbs, and almost all days getting infested by leeches. Fun times!

Went to Bali for a wedding, returned home with a bunch of snake photos.

Clearing my archives with a collection of snakes found in Bali over 2 nights. No yoga, wellness, digital nomad, spiritual awakening, retreat s**t - just headed to a side of Bali you don't normally see.

That's some crazy swirly bokeh!

When you get bored of the ease of modern lenses, why not try a vintage one? These were shot on the Helios 44-2, a Soviet-era lens that has all the fun characteristics of vintage glass - the softness, the glow, but what really sets it apart is its swirly bokeh and its ridiculously low price. Normally, portrait photographers use this lens to get some crazy looks, but I'm crazier and Im'ma do it with wildlife.

The Helios 44-2 is a 58mm F2 lens. F2 is great for wildlife, but 58mm is absolutely not. Of course, being a wildlife whisperer (haha fake), I'd like to think that I am quite confident to get a bunch of animals habituated and relaxed in my presence. So off I went armed with a 58mm lens. I must say, it wasn't straightforward in 2 ways. One, getting close enough to a wild animal to let it fill the frame. And two, conditions had to be right for that swirly bokeh to work. Thankfully we do have friendly animals in Singapore and I managed to click a few frames that I liked.

A fun one to shoot with, sure, but this lens does not earn a permanent stay in my bag.

One of Singapore's mammals that I seem to have the most luck with.

The lesser mousedeer is considered to be a fairly common species we can find here (if you know where and how to look), but getting a clean shot is an entirely different matter. They tend to be skittish, and the undergrowth of the forest often obscures the frame with bushes and branches. Thankfully since I look very much like a mousedeer, I never seem to have an issue with proximity, often times having to zoom out my lens because the mousedeer keeps getting closer. However, framing remains a tough one to solve - requiring a bit of a gamble and placing the camera where I think the mousedeer would go (where it's more open), and waiting there with the camera on the ground to get lower than eye level shots.
