A visit to the singapore zoo make me realize that it's not easy to take photo of animal at all…..
They can just stay in a position that you don't want for many minutes without moving….You need to have time and patience to wait for a perfect moment to capture a good composition….
And also… When it start moving….it will be too fast and unpredictable and you can't get the shot…..
I doubt i had done it in this visit…. i think i will be visiting it again in the near future to challenge my skills again….
At the same time…. i realize that under certain condition… my 70-300 and D7000 combination can't work well…
aperture is at f4….iso max at iso640 so that it will have reasonable acceptable noise….But the problem is that the shutter speed is too slow and thus causing shake/blur photo…..
haizzzzz…. should i just up my iso and reduce my image size……….at least i can get a better shot…..

Occupying an area of 1170 square metres, this exhibit features educational materials displayed at two varying levels for adults and children. Through a range of informative multimedia elements, visitors can learn more about the resident white tigers, how their teeth and jaws work to make the killing bite for example, and how one can contribute towards tiger conservation. Conservation exhibits such as a video about tiger bones serve to educate visitors on the plight of tigers, which are often killed for traditional medicine.

Visitors also have the opportunity to see a tiger’s pug mark and hear a tiger roar, moan and call. A sculpture of a white tiger by William Teo on display further enhances the aesthetics of the area .

White tigers, also known as Bengal tigers, are rare animals that possess an amazing combination of awesome beauty and impressive power. They have blue eyes, a pink nose, and creamy white fur covered with brown stripes. White tiger males range in length between 2.7 and 3 metres. They weigh between 190 and 260 kilogrammes on the average. Females are smaller, and range in length from 2.2 to 2.7 metres, weighing around 165 kilogrammes.

White tigers have extremely strong jaws and teeth, which are very helpful in catching their prey. They also have a very strong sense of smell, and sharp eyesight.
