Monday, 14 March 2011

After the heavy rain at Sunday afternoon, we start our short trip from Gatsu Jakarta and arrived in 5PM at Jatiluhur, its only take about 1.15 hours. This area has fabulous view actually like what I saw from Wandi's flickr before, no wonder why he often came to this place and recommend me. But unfortunately its cloudy and the sun was behind the clouds, no much photos I took since the rain came down. This place is very good to take pictures, green/blue water, layered hills, and I thought there are more interesting view if we explore the lake with the boat.
Hmm, I will go back with my buddy Wandi again and better after lunch time in office hours haha

Taman Safari - The Birds of Prey Show

There are many show on this park, one of them is birds of prey show. The show is where the birds came fly to their trainer. I changed my camera setting to continuously shot, AI Servo mode and keep shooting as many times when the birds flew. It remind me to play Counter Strike, keep focus point on target and fire at will :)
This is my first time that I need to take pictures continuously, and I fell that my 550D with 3.7 shot/sec is enough. I can captured more than 12 pictures continuously without any shutter lag.

Snowy Owl

Sea Eagle

As overall, I am happy to see all the animals in this park, they look healthy and well maintained, and.. I really amazed with EF 200mm f/2.8 L II lens with its fast responds, high quality image and wonderful bokeh. But unfortunately this lens is an old product and not produced anymore. The similar type that available now EF 70-200mm f/2.0 L USM. Great thanks for Wandi to lended me his lens and advise.

Taman Safari - The Big Cats

All of them is still a cub (under 2 years) and after they getting big, they will be released to the park. Visitor can take a picture with these predators.
