First Flight!


First Flight!, originally uploaded by eokip1.

" Sitting out by the pool one early morning, I watched this baby dove fall out of the tree behind and land on my fence. I watched for about half an hour as it tried to figure out how to use its wings. It was one of the most precious things in nature I have ever witnessed! Then it dawned on me, I own a camera! I feel very fortunate to of been able to capture this beautiful moment. " ......... said the photographer .

I might be older but I still love to have fun
I might be wiser but I'm still learning
I might have great successes but I still have just as many mistakes
I might be cloudy and gray but I lighten up just as quick
I might be more set in my ways but I still love the thrill of change

I'm another year older today...so goes life!

Mmmmm, tasty!

The brilliant person who took this nice shot wrote some wonderful words , i quoted them below :
"so, after 1 hour of heavy rain pouring down on sacred monkey forest sanctuary in ubud, nothing was dry. the forest was just dim and almost frightfully tree-ish. overlooking it without knowing about its habitants, you can't imagine animals living in this place at all, or staying for long… food left by tourists was so precious that a group of long-tailed macaques *macaca fascicularis* paid no attention to me sitting quietly nearby when they sneaked down to a bunch of leftover bananas on the forest floor. here, it was necessary to use flash lighting because the tree-ish forest was as dark as at sunset time.an annoying element of flash photography of animal faces is that sometimes you see a double catchlight in the eyes, which is the reflection of the double flash units. it looks unnatural but here i’ve minimized the reflection by using ring-type lighting with a total of four SB R200 units attached to the attachment Ring SX-1. my local assistant was holding it nearby the macaque and i had the wireless speedlighting commander SU800 attached to my camera.
