Some Macro at Cinta Alam

April 16th, 2008 by ShaolinTiger at 12:48 PM MYT - 578 views

During the weekend trip I had the chance to do a little bit of macro, I did wonder into the trees but there were just too many mosquitoes...and damn they were hungry.

I had a little look around the compound but there weren't many subjects and it was super hot..I was of course using the cangih milk bottle diffuser!

The kitchen towel at the front was torn though so it was a little bit harsh, I might try two layers next time for extra diffusion..am out of practise too. Anyway here's what I managed to come up with.

Tiny Grasshopper

Shiny Spider

Long Legs

Colourful Fly, there was a blue one, red one, green one and this gold-ish one.

Colourful fly

Green Damselfly

Fruit Fly or Wasp?

Soft Beauty

That's all for now!

Unbelievable shots lah! How do you manage to get so up close without scaring them off? Have you tried photographing fish yet?

Love your macro shots as always

Funny how I like photography but I suck at it, not to mention the shaky hands.

Ranga: Just practice, patience and getting the right subject.

kevin: Thanks Near enough la! Only one letter difference..

Dabido: Yah get out there and find some bugs.

TZ & katsmew: Thanks!

James: Must be my smell knocks em out..hahaha

Simon Seow: Thanks!

eyeris: Hahaha, I think all the Macros have closed down, most seem to have been taken over by Tesco.

moons: Practice makes perfect!

grace: Thanks!

sarah: Practice a lot and study a lot, photography is all about light - so learning how to use light is one of the most important aspects. And of course you must know your camera and the technical settings (Aperture/Shutter Speed/ISO/WB) and relations inside out.
