Zebra Whispers

Description

"Child, I speak to you not with my mouth, but with my heart."

Location: Singapore Zoological Gardens, Singapore

Description: The Singapore Zoo is a place that I had not visited for many years. But as a young student, visits to interesting places such as this were quite common, and organized by the school as an educational excursion. I didn't enjoy these though, because under the watchful eyes of a teacher it meant that freedom was limited, and additional homework in the form of a presentation or a project was probably on the way.

Just two days ago, my Dad took the time to bring me here, seeing that I was so keen on photography. There's definitely more animal antics to be seen in the zoo than on the average street. Photographing these critters is the toughest challenge I have faced so far as a mere hobbyist. Photos often had to be taken under shade, where lighting was very much reduced. With the animals constantly on the move, it was also difficult to slap a good focus on them.

I took over 200 photographs at the zoo, and not surprisingly messed up more than 75% of them. Thank God for digital! :laughing: Funnily enough, the better shots were taken towards the end of the trip. Here's a photograph of a zebra whisperer...an adult speaking to its young.

Tweaking: Contrast increased.
