The have and the have-not

The monkeys seem to be used to being constantly fed. Visitors generally bring bananas or sugarcanes, sold outside the caves, and amuse themselves watching the monkeys eat. Not so amusing when they start snatching plastic bags, purses and garlands (happened in front of me). Well at least it's still better than the Kami Mata Temple in India.

Monkey do!

Instant gratification. Yum!

Lighting is a major problem in the Batu Caves, and the only option is to shoot at ISO 1600 at low shutter speeds. I think it's time that I invest in a flash gun *drools*

Followed Kit and Brigitte for a photo outing some time last month. Since I've been here before, I was looking for something new to shoot, and all I could see was monkeys. Well, people and monkeys. But I didn't feel like taking pictures of gaggling Chinese aunties that day (if you catch me in that mood, kill me), and I've explored Hinduism on other occasions, so monkeys it was.

White-bellied sea eagle in action. My first ever attempt at bird shots, actually.

I got extremely pissed at myself when I went home and found out that it was shot in ISO 1600, thanks to the trip to Langkawi Underwater World. I had set the camera to auto ISO, and had this picture taken at f/14.0 in hopes that the lower(higher?) aperture give me enough depth of field, but forgot to turn off the (&^@#$@ auto ISO. Noise removal can only do so much :-/
