Borneo Revisited

Two years ago we made our first trip to Borneo, we fell in love with the place. The country, the people and the wild life are all amazing, a place I would recommend to anyone.
The last trip we took visited cities, tribes, towns markets and finished with a visit to the Kinabatangan river in Sabah, here we were overwhelmed by the wild life we saw.At that time I had a D5100 a Nikon 70-300vr and 24-70mm f2.8.
This time we planned to spend most of our time in the rain forest areas of Sabah and my (rather heavy) bag contained a D610, Tamron 150-600mm, Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 and Sigma 105mm f2.8 macro.
Shooting wild life at 6fps in RAW filled 48gb of memory cards! I am still working through and editing and suspect I will be for some time! I'll post as I get through them.

Our first stop was the Rasa Ria resort that has it's own nature reserve and is part of the Sepilok Orangutan rehabilitation program. Itinban is a 6 year old rescued male who has been at Rasa Ria for 4 years and is now due to move back to Sepilok for the next stage of rehabilitation.

Heading to our lodge in the Danum valley nature reserve. Had to get out and walk due to the condition of the bridge.

Great start, keep em coming! I regret that I didn't have a DSLR when I went, although that did mean a lot less work editing pictures when I got back.

A Blue Eared Kingfisher at night, asleep, on the banks of the Kinabatangan river. Shot with the Sigma 105mm f2.8 macro. That close I could have stroked itImageUploadedByTapatalk1446898991.286015.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1446899021.594738.jpg
