Beach view getaway

After 2 long weeks of work, i can finally take a deep breath during last weekend. I took the opportunity to bring my family to a resort in terengganu (after weeks of planning). It's a nice place to relax, especially at night when u can hear the sound of sea waves hitting the shore as u close ur eyes shifting to hibernate state... I just want to share several pictures that i took over there..

Go green...

Some of the creatures that i managed to capture last weekend... Hopefully i can try the diffuser next week...

Sunshiny day at last...

At last, the sky are blues again after few days of heavy rain... After all week working, i've decided to take some macro shots.. Looks like i need to add diffuser to the flash...

Its raining....

Few shots i've taken during the raining seasons....

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..
