FRIM with Shutter Asia - May 26th
We headed over to FRIM again last Saturday with the Shutter Asia gang for some more crawling around in the jungle and getting all leeched up.
Don't let the guards rip you off, it's RM1 per person and RM5 per car. If you are doing commercial shoot such as bridal or wedding it's RM88. Just drive in with your camera in it's bag and you shouldn't have any problems.
We found a good variety of stuff this time (spiders, flies, damselfly, dragonfly, centipede and even a scorpion!)
Caterpillar
Spiny Spider AKA Jewel Spider Eating a MOTH!
Orb Weaver (Not sure which kind)
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.
My First Dragonfly Shot
Moth Eye!
