birds!

These photos were taken with Tamron 70 - 300mm lens

I tried the sunset wb setting as the sun is too bright

This black & white shot is better than coloured

Spotted dove

This is the first time  I see spotted dove in my garden.

One pair is nesting among the plants.  At first I thought it is the usual Zebra  doves that 's common in my garden.

I only realised it is a spotted dove after looking at the photos.

This pair is the common Zebra doves running around my garden.

The sunlight is too bright and to give it a warm look I used cloudy whitebalance

Sunlight

The morning sun is too strong & bright.  See the contrast and the reflection on the leaves.

After a slight shower, the sun shining on the water droplets on the leaves gives a fantastic effect.

A sharp shot will not show the glistening effect. 

Hat Yai, Thailand

Although I've been to Hat Yai a few times, this is the first time I've visited

the Hat Yai floating market.  The event is held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday

only from 5.00pm to 9.00pm.  This is a must see attraction with food, etc. sold on water and land.  Above the canal there are many more stalls attracting lots of visitors, locals and tourists.

Old photos

these are some of my

old creations which I tried

on those photos to be discarded
