Ragunan Zoo

Another weekend with no ideas what to do or where to go.  Well I decided to go someplace within the city where I haven't been to for ages...the zoo!

I did have this idea to shoot the Komodo dragon and the Orangutan there.  These animals being specially of Indonesian origins, I thought I should have a keepsake of them.  Well, there were the usual fishes, deers, giraffes and elephants in the zoo.  Nothing special about them.

Fortunately for me, when I got around to the Komodo dragon den, the dragon was in a good position facing me.  The light was perfect and the background was also good.  So I just started shooting away.  This pic here is the best shot I got of the Komodo dragon.  The pose, lighting and background were all perfect.

After the Komodo dragon, I went around to the Orangutan area.  Unfortunately for me, it started to rain and I had to stop shooting.  Anyway, the Orangutan area wasn't that good to shoot also because the background was a high paved wall.  It didn't look natural at all to shoot.  So I just waited for the rain to stop and then went home.
