Challenge: Free Study 2017-09 (Standard Editing)
Location: Singapore Gardens by the Bay
Date: Sep 25, 2017
Aperture: 6.3
ISO: 320
Shutter: 1/1600

Singapore is slowly becoming a conducive island for more and more wildlife to migrate and make it their home.

Taken at Singapore's Gardens by the Bay, several Sunbirds were spotted having their breakfast - nectar.

A telephoto lens (150-600mm) was used with a DSLR for the photographing of this shot. All shots were taken handheld. Hence, a lens with great stabilising capabilities was chosen.

As the Sunbirds are known to be quick, Auto-Focus Tracking was used to ensure the subject was taken as clear as I possibly could manage without a tripod.

Great focus, nice contrasting colours. Normally not a big fan of these bird images, but I do like this one. Bump!
