[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My dream realised this holiday season. You ask why? Well..this is my first spotting of one of many species of a wild pitcher plant native to Borneo. I have always wanted to photograph one of these in their native habitat and was thrilled when I discovered this in Lok Kawi National Park in KK. I had to use my on-board flash on this one as the forest was not the best lit stage due to heavy canopy shading the bottom feeders and used my trusty 70-300 Nikon VR for this one. Switched to Manual mode and CWA metering. Cropped and resized for TL upload. Any comments welcome....

cheers,

Dilshan

Hi Dilshan,
You present us an interesting catch.
Excellent macro, very well presented. Each have read a dream come true wish. Your dream was fulfilled. Congratulations and expect from you and other images.
Have a nice weekend,
Adrian

Hi Dilshan,
I have seen the domesticated variety of pitcher plants but not the wild ones. And so this is indeed a treat. It is most fascinating and of course I examine it with at lenbth and wonder about its trapping mechanisms. Your tech settings appear optimum in rendering a well metered and sharp image. Well done.
