Taking object
that are moving is difficult if we are not experience enough
in using our digital photo camera. The quality of the
photographs will not be good enough due to the movements of
the objects. The images of
dogs pouncing on a deer while it was crossing a small river
can be seen on my blog. It is a fascinating
experience due to the rarity of such scene. To shoot the
pictures, my friend Paul used my pocket PC the HP iPAQ rx 3000 series
Mobile Media Companion that is equipped with digital camera
device at its back. It is not a professional photographic
equipment because the camera can only produce photographs
with quality of 1.2 mega pixel images. Although there are
some limitations that the camera has, Paul only had the
device in his hands when watching the dogs and the deer in
the river. He and his friends were hiking in the interior
region of
Senopi village when they saw such scene. Much of the
terrains in the village is still covered with tropical
rainforest.
The dogs jumped to the see after receiving an order from their masters who were accompanying Paul and Zeth. They were traveling in the forest to see the eco-tourism potentials of the region. Senopi is a world class bird watching destination. Tourists who are interested in hiking through a dense tropical rainforest of New Guinea should consider traveling to Senopi village if they want to see birds, butterflies and other animals that are endemic to the tropical island. As a tourist guide, I have sent tourists to the village.
I personally hardly ever use the digital camera feature
of the Pocket PC HP iPAQ rx 3000 because I have got Sony
Cyber-shot DSC-W30 which has optical zoom. In addition,
the carl zeis lens of the equipment is very good. It can
capture picture with high clarity (also read:
How to photograph object in the dark). In August
2011, I bought a new digital camera with telephoto
feature. It is a Nikon Coolpix P500 that is powered with
36x optical zoom capability. I plan to use the camera
for outdoor photography where most of my subjects will
be similar to this scene - dogs pouncing a deer in the
middle of the water. Its really beautiful to see such
scene. It is very important to publicize such
photographs so that all of us will give more
appreciation to our nature and preserve it for future
generations of human being.
The photographs of the dogs and the deer were made when
the weather was not bright enough. To increase the
brightness of the pictures, I modify them in the Adobe
Photoshop CS3. I also sharpen it with this software.
It is interesting to know that actually these travelers
were not going hunting at that time. They only wanted to
travel around the forest and the dogs spotted the deer
while it was in the middle of the river. I hope that by
showing the photos of this scene, more tourists from
abroad will be interested in visiting Senopi of
Manokwari. I have written a lot of articles about
eco-tourism in Manokwari city of West Papua province
of the Republic of Indonesia added with various
photographs that I shot at sea, on the islands, in the
city and in the mountain. by Charles Roring
