Fiddle the Fishing Cat, by Arnold Chan

Fishing cats are widely distributed but concentrated primarily in wetland habitats, which are increasingly being settled, degraded and converted. This female Fishing Cat, Fiddle, lost one of her front legs a number of years ago after an injury that could not be fixed surgically.

Arnold Chan is a Sydney based vivid photographer specializing in event, zoology, cityscape and long exposure night photography. He started experimenting with photography as a hobby because he loves nature and landscape photography. His aim is to capture the nature of the wilderness and landscape. And also enjoy the wild beauty of nature at the same time. As he continued to develop his photography and he moved from Landscapes and Seascapes into long exposure photography which inevitably led to night photography. The learning curve was challenging and there didn’t seem to be a lot of organized knowledge to accelerate his journey..so he embarked on his own journey of trial and error. Now he think he has reached a level where he’s confident in the technical aspect if his photography beginning to become more creative with it and think to continue this and always find time for photography is his photography goal at the moment. So we’ll see what else life brings his way.
