The humane, the primal and downright kooky side of the Singapore Zoological Gardens.

(Photo Excursion on Tuesday, 29th December 2009)

Thought it was a good idea to make a photo-trip to the Singapore Zoo the Tuesday after Christmas… that is, until I got there and realised half of Singapore (and their kids) thought likewise.

From a queue that stretched to Changi, and kids that cried everytime they glimpsed my helmet-head… it seemed a poor start.

Thankfully, my mate (the super talented) George Leong of Creme Photography joined me in the queue and we started talking shop to pass the time.

He’d helped me to rent the Canon EX 2x Extender II from The Camera Rental – for $20 (not too bad I say). We purchased our tickets (basic admission – no tram nonsense for us) and away we went.

After 4.5hours of walking around and shooting non-stop – that’s called passion – I was totally wiped out.

Here are some of the images that jumped out at me when I was reviewing the ‘film’. Have split this post into different categories so I’ll start with some of the most interesting and vaired creatures…

Primates

~ The (Pint-Sized) Hunter ~

~ And that’s gossip! ~

~ Cheeky Monkey ~

Some of them had such expressive eyes it was a little unnerving.

~ Hangin’ around ~

~ Reaching for the stars ~ (or lunch as it were)

~ Safety ~

… and one of my favourite images of the day:

Baby Orangutan: “Zzzz zzzz….. mmm… morning mom… jeez how high up are we woman???”
