Bad Hair Day

Another interesting find for my macro, I was checking out the frontyard when I saw this little fella by some small plant near a tree. I rushed to get my camera when took about 120 shots and these pictures are the best one. I'm amazed by the colour and its unique body, anybody can ID this fella?

Macro Bukit Shahbandar

I'm back with Macro, my first passion besides HDR. I decided to have a quick tour around Bukit Shahbandar. I spent most of my time at the man-made mini lake, looking for particularly exotic insects. After an hour, I have to give in with the dragonflies and a centipede. They are my best shots for the day, the visit was not productive. I may have to come here again.

Macro Drug

I'm addicted to Macro since I got my hands on the extension tubes, it was worth a buy. I will look forward to more shots and more outings.

Are you nuts?

This is interesting. I didn't know there was an insect on this tiny flower until I viewed it in my laptop. So this guy was lucky for being at the right time and place. Strike that pose!!

Pray your hearts out

I was wandering around my yard looking for something to shoot and found a tiny black spot on a leaf. I got close with my lens and found this friendly praying mantis who was so kind to me not to move. I took my time while this guy was relaxing and posing to get my best shot. It wasn't easy, there was wind and this guy just keep still. Kudos to this insect.

"Fly Fly Away"

~Butterfly, Butterfly, Fly All the Way~. Oh ever since I started watching Barney because of my son, the songs they singing are sticking inside me head. Anyway I found this little winged visitor in my yard. I couldnt resist taking out my camera to take this shot. Old folks say if a butterfly come wandering inside your house, someone's going to pay a visit. Hide!!

More Experiment

Visit this guy's pbase for awesome macro pictures using 50mm f/1.8. I think he used the kenko tubes.
