February, the valentine month, also rainy month at Jakarta, capital of Indonesia. 13th February, its saturday, I decice to bringing my beloved wife and her Mom to walk arround city, with the cloudy and rainy conditions i choose Ragunan, its a zoo inside Jakarta, dunno how get ragunan why ragunan is the first palce came to my mind. May be cause i never get there for the last three years, may be my wife and her Mom also never been there. also may be because i love animal and green place. at last, i decide to go there without thinking i'll get any surprise, all i have in my mind, i 'll get pity to animal there, or i 'll get tired to walking arround the zoo, thirsty and hungry ( in my mind ). because all i hear about ragunan its the cheapest place to weekend, it will overload with the people to weekend, yeah i know all i have its bad thinking.
7 AM, i start to lock my hause door and leading my family to start this journey. i decide to get breakfeast nearly ragunan, i love to walk in early morning. cheering my self by not thinking all "bad think" i hear about ragunan. without forgeting my lovely Nikon D60 and 700mm Tamron lens... yes.. i decide to take a photos in ragunan and start my hobby again. ist better than "bad think" isnt?
8:00 AM, in the west gate or ragunan...its so quite and cloudy, its like no activy at all, I love it...may be all people still sleep... oh my God, nothing suprise me from "bad think" i have last nite. i am hungry, then i see a small restorant (if you call it so), its famous with "WARTEG" in this country. LOL ... but its really cheap.
The "WARTEG" seller told me that i am too early to entering ragunan when i am telling him my desire to visit ragunan.LOL (I do think that last nite)... but is okay.. i am finishing my breakfast at 8:30 AM, and start walking to West Gate of Ragunan Zoo.
08:45 AM, wow ... its start rain, yeah i know i am in february, its okay .. i am not surprise with this first bad luck (i think). I am ready prepare my self for more (LOL).
09:00 AM, by waiting rain to finish, i decide to change my default lens and install my Tamron Lens, time to warm up. start to click here and there choosing the right F and speed. yeaaah... i want to start shooting manually... and the result not bad ... ok i'll continue the stroy tomorrow...
My first click with Tamron 700mm F 4.5 and exp 1/8 ..... i dont like those smoke must remove it from picture
Second shoot still with Tamron 700 mm F 4.5 and exp 1/25, look more nice and bright ..hmm my be i 'll use it for next.
yeah .. try to zoom it with same metode : F 4.5 and exp 1/25, i am happy with color and decide to play arround this F and exposure with my nikon 60D and tamro 700mm manually.
