At Singapore Botanic Gardens
As I was driving into the carpark, I saw a bunch of photographers gathered by the side of the road. I hastily parked at the carpark by Healing Gardens, grabbed my gear and went; all while it was still drizzling slightly.
A kind gentleman pointed out the location of the owl, mentioning that some contorting is required in order to get the owl as there are leaves blocking the view. And with the owl camping under shade with the sky overcast, it was a challenge to hold the camera still enough to get the shot.
When you're an amateur photographer, these kind of opportunities must be like digging up gold. Just the best.
I suppose the best thing is to just have your camera on you as much as possible since you never know when an opportunity will arise.
This looks like the middle of some remote jungle, but it's just a parking lot. ๐
Great photos though. I'm always so impressed with what people capture.
