Macro testing.. 1.. 2.. 3..

Spent a few moment of my time trying out a new macro lens.. Quite challenging to control the depth of field & to hold still.. Need to learn/ practice more.. and most important thing, be patient... hehe...

This is my first car. Being driving it for 6 years, it tought me a lot about driving.. It even saved my life few times during my early inexperienced driving years (thanks to lotus handling and super-gripped michellin tyres..). Though i love it very much, the time has come for us to be apart.. My family is more important right now, yup...time to change to be a family man..

Macro continues...

Finally i got some free time to hold my camera again... This time is at my parent house... Photos were shot under bright afternoon subshine since i didnt have any specific flash for macro.. I'm using 100mm macro lens, so the magnification is 1:1. For close-up shots of the ants, i had to open the lens hood, otherwise it will block the sunlight from my subjects.. Really had trouble to catch the red dragonflies in the viewfinder, they easily get nervous when being approached..

Mangrove visits...

While waiting for fasting break, i managed to slot my time to visit a nearby mangrove river... Luckily i brought along my CPL filter which enable me to capture the cloud formations...

More Macro, more macro...

Went to my in-laws' house yesterday, which is the perfect spot to try out macro lens... :)

An evening at the river bank...

Took my wife for a drive to town last weekend and we decided to stopby near a river bank... Nothing much to see except the sunset (though it's still early, at 5.30pm). I think it's time to put up a test for my CPL and ND400 filter.. So here it goes...

Unplanned appointment..

While enjoying dukus that i bought earlier today, i came across this little fruit bug... So without further delay, i took out my 5D, attached it with a 100mm macro lens, plus an extension tube and the fun begins... It took a lot of patient to wait for the exact moment to capture it, but i think it's worth it. Meet my friend, mr fruit bug :)
