Macro & Close Up–Outing @ Tun Fuad Stephens Park (Part 3)

It’s holiday, Hari Raya, and my wife has returned to her hometown to celebrate with her family.  I didn’t join her this year due to I have something to catch up in town…but I didn’t forget to have some funs too.

Anyway, I always wanted to get that Nikon twin flash since the day I hooked to macro shooting, and finally, I went to grab it – R1C1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System.  Not cheap, but it’s definitely a great gear to have, especially when shooting bugs under the shady woods.

So yesterday afternoon, I went to the park to try it out.  Didn’t stay for long, but I’m planning to come back on the coming Sunday.

A red dragonfly, and I think it looks great under the flash.

It looks like some leaves growing on a monster’s face. LOL!

So, one of our team members called and decided to visit the park.  What can I say?  It’s great!  So packed up and went to the park again.  While the previous two times were in the morning, this time round was in the afternoon.  The third time I went there (macro outing), walked on the same pathway, and still able to find something different, and yet we still haven’t finished the whole park.  I think we probably need a week full on if we want to cover the whole park…the part where it is accessible with pathway.

It’s the 1st day of the new year, with great weather in the morning, it also means it’s a good time to go out for some photo shooting.  So me and my cousin went to the park again to have a look see.

2AM:  I was still awake.  So picked up my camera and headed out to my backyard to have a look see.

4PM:  Light shower rain.  I was thinking it could be fun to see what those little creatures were doing.  Aaah…they want a shower too.

Saw this thing when I reached home just now.  Don’t ask me, I have no idea what kind of bug is this.

 

A snail on a pillar.

Macro & Close Up – Part 6

We were supposed to go out to do some night photo shooting last night, but due to unforeseen issue, plan was cancelled.  So what did I do?  Macro time, again.

I think this fellow has got something in its mouth…

A small house fly.  It turned facing the camera while I was trying to get a focus.
