Guest Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Nice colours Oilinki I actually had to tune down the exposure to -0.75 and saturation to -9 on LR as the tail was really bright. I took the photo as JPG and let the camera (SX50HS) do most of the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonjelly Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks , maybe that's what it is ... a Bumble Bee . I thought it was a Big old Horse fly kind of thing . I'm pretty sure it's a fly, can only make out 1 set of wings, eyes positioned on front of head, antennae not visible as they should be 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They farm these in some provinces gut them and dry them out for sale to China as a natural Viagra like supplement. Why do the Chinese like trying to make things extinct?

Guest Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) The unfortunate abuse, which still happens in Phuket. I did report this incident with a photo to the Gibbon project in Phuket. They will take care of it and contact relevant authorities, who can confiscate the loris.

rhythmworx Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 ^^^ Similar thing Oilinki. If tourists were educated on the situation with all the animals used for photos and decided to not partake this would all stop. It will not happen though unfortunately especially now there's social media and the increase of peoples propensity to pose to their peers. Look at me look at me I'm better than you, that's all I see on social media sites anyway. The human race is becoming evermore shallower, it's f**ing wrong, let me drag their mother out for photo opportunities with tourists, see how they feel then. Sorry rant over again...I am making sense though I do know that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Tourists don't really understand the case. They think it's normal to have these cute animals as pets in Thailand. They think it's just like having a cat in far away land. Without proper education, nothing is going to change. A good friend of mine, came to Phuket for the first time. He had his photo taken with a slow loris at the Bangla road. He thought it was a great experience. This person was well educated. I took him and his family to the Gibbon project. He told his story, and got a lecture by the local staff, he'll never forget. Lecture how the showcase animals are treated and drugged, before they get to the street shows. For the tourists, it's not simple to understand what is right and what is wrong. That's why more education is needed. As well as pointing out the folks who are abusing the animals. As photographers, we have an edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
