Day 38 : Dusky Leaf Monkey

Despite using a 300mm lens on a camera body with a cropped sensor, I'm still not having a lot of luck in the jungle house. Nothing ever really comes into range for me to get a good sharp shot off. Today was no different. I was looking for birds when I heard a crash and saw branches moving. I had to run like mad to a better view point. I eventually spotted this monkey contemplating life on a branch. He (she?) stayed there for more than half an hour. I say contemplating life because he wasn't doing anything. Usually they're feeding here on young leaves but this chap was chillin' out. Dusky leaf monkeys have bright white rings around their eyes. Their eyelids are white as well. It's amazing to see them blink. They're also known as spectacled langurs.

Day 37 : ....and Crocs Will Fly

Haven't really had time to pick up my camera or choose my shots. I'm sure it's been reflected in my photos the past few days. Today is no different. Grabbed camera, grabbed new crocs, throw crocs in air and snap with internal flash on. I wanted a hard shadow to illustrate that the crocs were in mid-air. I took a big risk with this one. I didn't even check to see if it was really in focus. Verdict: not really but not so bad that I can't get away with it. I chucked the crocs about 5 to 6 times and as usual the best shot out of a bad bunch was the first. Once the crocs landed on me and my camera. One for my face, the other for my camera's lens. It's only funny now, wasn't then! Hopefully I'll find some time to take photos in the days to come.

Day 36 : Tarik!

My morning coffee being 'pulled' for me. Usually this is done with sweetened tea. We called it teh tarik. Literally 'pulled tea',. This is my Nescafe being pulled though.

Day 35 : Invader from Neptune

Ummm.... Take me to your leader.

My first selfie! If you're wondering why I'm looking distressed it's because I can't breathe with that thing on. It does seal against the face.

The dive centre I work for has just started to sell these things. They're for underwater voice communication. There's a receiver and transmitter which can be attached to this face mask. Great for the gadget freak or those who just don't get hand signals. Not for me though.

Day 34 : Alien Invasion

They're coming! Picture of their leader tomorrow!

This is actually a picture of pendant lights in a restaurant.
