I captured another nature image at the Lower Seletar Reservoir on 13 Dec 2020. This time is an Ibis actively having an early catch. Obviously, I like the fully spread-wings. The soft morning light touched the bird and gave a very pleasing result. The reflections in the water further enhanced and gave a greater impact to the image. For me is another satisfaction of “early bird catches the Worm”.
To me, the moment before sunrise when the sunlight shine through the cloud is always amazing. Sacrifice hours of sleep at dawn in exchange for the spectacular sight of a landscape is really rewarding. To be greeted by the gorgeous colour and the cloud formation of the sky first thing in the morning is definitely refreshing. This is an image that I captured with great satisfaction at the Lower Seletar Reservoir on 11 10 2020.
Last time I spotted a similar bird shown here was in Xiamen, Fujian, China, two years ago. This time the image was captured at the Lower Seletar Reservoir on 30 Oct 2020. I observed the movement of the bird for a while. Hopefully to have an image of the bird with the morning catch. But my expectation never happened. To me, the bird was not as lucky as the otters in the water always enjoying fresh seafood in the water. Nevertheless, the brilliant morning lighting created the impact for my image.
