KL Butterfly Park Redux - New and Improved with Milk Bottle Diffuser!
So I organised a trip to the butterfly park with Shutter Asia as I wanted to test out my refined skills in Macro photography plus my new Raynox DCR-250 closeup filter and my botol susu flash diffuser.
I have to say it was a success! I'm extremely happy with the pictures, probably the first macro set that I really like - I tried to concentrate more on composition and taking attractive pictures rather than just snapping away and taking documentary pics or trying to get as close as possible.
You can see the pics I took last time here:
Macro at the Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park - Taman Rama-Rama
That was my first Macro outing back in December 2006.
I'll post some pics of the homemade diffuser up now I have a new compact camera - more about that later too 
Anyway on to the pics!
My favourite shot of the day - Up close and personal.
Creamy Orange
My second favourite - Feeding time
Macro at the Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park - Taman Rama-Rama
I went to the Butterfly Park around Jalan Parlimen area a while back in December to test out my new SB-800 flash and macro lens combination.
I was a bit noob then so my shutter speed was a bit slow as I didn't know how to change the flash sync speed (1/60s).
Macro is very challenging, especially on live things that tend to move around.
The shame is in the Butterfly park, the Butterflys are not very colourful and most have tattered wings due to being kept in captivity. I had far more fun shooting the Dragonflys which are quite static during late afternoon.

Sincere Conquest of Time - Watch Exhibition in Malaysia
A while back I went to a watch exhibition to get poisoned with the purchase of more things I really can't afford! You can find some more info about it here.
Conquest of Time was held at KL Convention Center by Sincere (The watch specialist?!).
First up we had a talk by some dude from Switzerland about some really freaking expensive watches and how they are made (specialist stuff like tourbillon, chronograph and perpetual calendar...These are terms watch geeks are intimate with).
