TOP10 FUNNY Animal Portraits

Last weekend, I went to the local zoo with the twins & Mega and somehow well *coughing* it made me feel like I need to make my TOP 10 FUNNY Animal Portraits for fun. My favorite is definitely the adorable, huggable and lovable little white tiggie. I forgot his name but I found him at the Baby Zoo in Taman Safari Indonesia. Most of the animal photos are taken at Taman Safari Indonesia with markie and these photos are naturally unedited. My animal photos are rather entertaining since I'm lucky enough to be able to capture the candid photo of each of them. And the photo titles aren't impressive rather a bit weird but whatever! Well, VOTE which one do you like the most ^_^!

Saya Laper.. r.. r... (I'm hungry...)
I'm Hungry! This hippo opened his/her mouth so widely when I lowered down my car's window. We know how hungry he/she was, so we threw carrots to him/ her. I had a better version of this one but unfortunately it was blurry but this one would do as well, right? The photo composition looks good enough right? One Eye, Sharp Teeth, and Wide mouth Open! what else do you want? =p

Saya Lagi Bergaya Loh! (I'm Posing)
I heck no idea why that Orang Utan Pose like that. I opened my car's window and I zoomed my lens at this Orang Utan. Suddenly he walked nearer to that brick and posed like that! ha-ha-ha! FUNNY hey! While his/her friend was just being a good orang Utan, calm and looking decent. Damn poser! ha-ha-ha!

Si Cantik Yuci (The Pretty Yuci)
I'm not making up her name, I asked what is her name to her guard. She is the most friendly little tiger in the baby zoo (Taman Safari Indonesia) and she loves to be photographed. She always smile, loves playing and never bored of cheering those who wants to take a photo shoot with her. This is me and my friends favorite tiger and that scar of her, well see carefully.. it's a sign of L O V E and WE LOVE YUCI ^____^

Inilah Pose Andalanku (My best pose)
This jamaican looking Orang Utan always pose like this and he could actually pose like that for I don't know how many minutes. I went somewhere and he still posing like that. So I guess this is his favorite pose. Shockingly, I didn't realize that He was posing until I saw this photo on my laptop. I knew his eyes are looking at my camera but I just didn't realize he was just a damn poser Orang Utan! ha-ha-ha-ha! Old but still funny and trying his best to look "handsome" in the photo =P So Do you love or hate him? =P

Kami Cinta di Foto (We love to be photographed)
Wouldn't you be agreed with my funny title? Look at both of them. One is posing by closing his eyes and the other one is smiling. Their actions ( you should had seen it) made me write that title; they really love to be photographed; I caught a photo of them while pretending to fight, talk, kiss too! Wait was them kissing? Not sure! but it was kinda blur in a way so have to choose this photo as my favorite of this lovely dovey birdies! Don't know I think this photo look better rather than have both of the birds looking at my camera! 

 Weks, Weks!!! Weks!!!  =P
DON'T laugh at the title! I can't help it. "Teasing You" doesn't seem a funny name! so the way this king of the jungle showed how funny he's. I mean not that he's nice or made this kind of emotion on purpose but hey, my camera was in continuos mode so I managed to capture this "weks" expression of the roar master! PS : no! I captured this lion from the glass room with my Zoom Lens at Singapore Zoo last year.

 Lagi Makan kok Di Foto?(Taking my photo while eating)
Candid photo of a parrot while eating peanut (yes, I just describe things that you see in a photo) at Taman Mini, Indonesia. Old stock photo that I love too! I love the Bokeh, the 3/4 photo of the beautiful red parrot with colorful feathers. It made this photo became a "portrait" photo of him or her? I forgot! Him I think! or her? *not sure*! But whatever, His/her face looks so decent and it seemed that I caught him/her candid while eating. Since I love taking Candid photos, then there's no reason for not making this as my favorite! Is it your favorite too?

 Awww... Lucu Na Aku! (Awww, I'm so adorable) 
Well, I've this weird attitude that I like (mostly) naming my photo title (whatever photos) based on the first impression or words when I see it. This "Baby Orang Utan" was taken last year with my Canon 40D and 18-300 MM zoom lens (damn heavy) at Singapore Zoo. I love the "shiny" baby's eyes and the expression when he/she looked at my lens. It's just like a rare moment at least for taking a photo of an active orang utan. So I gave myself a pat in the head for able to capture the right moment with the right expression. *Congratulation Mz.g!e". 

Masih Ngantuk (Still Sleepy)

Okay! I'm sorry to be so picky but this white little tiger is definitely my favorite amongst others. The composition is alright, nothing wow. But when you see this photo of his (It's a boy, I'm sure), it looks rather like a stuff doll than a tiger itself. I had no idea why I only focused on the left side of his face only but I guess that's what make him look different and adorable. Honestly, after seeing this photo, I feel like coming back again to Taman Safari and bring him home. Oh! I so adore him! My favorite, lovable, huggable and sleepy lil' white tiggie!

Mata Si Hitam Putih (The Black & White's eye)
There's something about this photo that make me fall in love with it. Originally its color but since its zebra then I thought of just made it Black and White. I love how focused I was toward his/her eye and the eye lashes too. Should it need to be cropped? In a way yes but somehow the composition isn't bad neither, right? The zebra's lines make, focused eye, and sharp eye lashes made me adore this photo of mine. Yes sometimes, we need to love our photos so we can be more creative and inspired for the weakness.

The Poser Parrot
Additional parrot photo *giggles*. I remembered I gave this photo for my photography assignment and the teacher just happened to reject it for I don't know why. I'm not sure what "part" of the parrot should we really need to show to make a good parrot photo. But, then we know that photography is subjective so though he didn't like it but I do. The parrot's face told us "hey, I'm posing right now, take a photo of me please while eating", What do you say? he-he-he!

Ayana, The Rock Bar

So, I went to Bali on August with mates for couple of days and many told us to visit this bar called The Rock Bar at Ayana Hotel. I saw some photos of my friends who had been there and it's beautiful. Then we got a chance to visit the hotel on our last day before going back to Jakarta. It had been heavy raining throughout our whole way up to this beautiful hotel. And it's sadden us more when we asked the security and he told us that the bar is still closed. It was around 2 PM when we got there but anyway, we still decided to spend some time down there, taking photos and hey, I was left behind. My mates were up at somewhere far, while I really took a lot of time to get into one place! 

Here are the photos that I took with my SLR and of course I retouched the photos with High Pass. This hotel has a very beautiful view and having your PRE-WED photos being taken there is just wow. Its surrounding doesn't make you feel as if you are at Bali; it makes you somewhere in the country side. Luckily, the rain stopped when we got there so some of my photos were kinda cloudy in a way though! ENJOY ^_^






You gotta use that white lift to go down to the bar.





The so called famous bar  and such a pity I couldn't get close since I was in a rush!

 The so called Chapel with very beautiful view

Rain Drops

Okay, this is my so called "prime entry" and since it's raining outside and I feel like writing this blog. So I decided to name it as " Rain drops". And here we go . . . .


I forgot when this photo was taken but I remembered it was taken on my way back home from Bogor (a small city in Indonesia) to Jakarta.


It's raining hard almost everyday in Jakarta and yesterday, there was flood in my suburb! It's sad but thankful enough that the road is somewhat back to normal after an hour or two, I don't know.


The best thing about raining is the 'feeling' it gives to you. For me, it makes me feel so much at peace but the bad thing about it is that, I can't sleep. No matter how much sleepy I'm while its raining, I always ended up awake until the rains stopped.


I'm a big fans of rain; the sound of thunders, the sound of the rain drops and others. Here are some of my rain drops photos that I took

 
 
 
 

All of the photos above are taken with my Canon 40D with standard lens (18-55 mm) since these are old stocks photos. Okay, ain't much in writing right? I guess I'll be doing well for the rest of the blog entries. Any comments? I'm ready for it! Totally welcome :)
