The Baby

I have bought a book on photography recently. Since then, I have experimented on some features of my camera which have not been explored before. It certainly brings excitement, the only thing that has annoyed me are the negative excitements.

I have shown you a long-tailed Macaque with her baby during last Mother's day. The baby was cute, and sort of like mother like son.

But thing cannot always be assumed in the same logic. I saw a Dusky baby was born bright orange in contrast with its grey mother or parents. This was a real excitement to an ignorant me. I confirmed later that this orange colour has nothing to do with any illness or disease.

Here come my negative excitement.

I was cleverly manipulating my different settings when the mother came into sight. I pointed and shot immediately without thinking twice. The picture was not clear as expected, but luckily the creature was still identifiable as a Dusky Langur.

There are always second chance, as what we expect in our life. And this is my second chance with the assumed correct setting.

I did not ask for third or forth chance. The mother had carried her baby to behind some dense woods.

I saw the branches shaking left and right, up and down like a cradle. The breeze was singing lullaby. The baby must be sound asleep.

Have a good sleep, my friend.
