Kinabalu Park Photo Shoot

Thank You Joe for the welcoming remark.!! I should have posted more story, well lets see once a month not bad huh.. not promise ah, try ah.

This month I went up to Kinabalu Park to sharpen out my outdoor skill before the big day in Deramakot next month. So I start early morning drive to Kinabalu Park, then I decide to go direct to our Resort for the night, Celyn Resort. Check in and have lunch before start shooting... but how.. where to start, then I try to get this swallow picture in-flight.. Joe I think you have better changes then me, this guys are too fast and their maneuver are like jet fighter, need to update my equipment, next time. In the afternoon the cloud / mists start to come in.. no more shoot for today..


The next morning a magnificent view await us, Mt. Kinabalu right in front of our balcony. Nice eh. time to get breakfast and start shooting. How.. yesterday I did not manage to get any good photos at all, so all rest on today result, I must get at least few good shoots, I start to hunt for them .. very difficult le my friend, slightest movement they fly away. Then I decide to sit in 1 place.. waiting ..and waiting... and waiting, at last out of curiosity they come to peek at me.. who is this guy, a flycather came, next a bulbuls, then a drongo. Not bad but my back are aching and my legs start to cramp.. have to move.. off they go.. gone.

On they way back I decide to stop by at Kinabalu Park to try my luck.. if there are any birds this late. The bird are singing ..everywhere but where, even I sit and wait no one came. I start to whistle .. they reply, so start the whistling marathon between us, I whistle and whistle until my mouth run dry, no more sound coming out of my mouth, Cecilia was laughing at me, but I was rewarded with this little guy coming out of curiosity to check me out.. so until next time. I have plan for Gerama trip next month, chao.
