Lights & Reflection

Testing with lighting effects and reflection. Here I employed a professional model (pretty expensive fee, joking) to pose for the test shots below.

Back to Macro Fun

After a long break from macro photography due to other workload, I am back at it again and it was fun. Here are some pictures taken at the Stutong Park last Sunday.

They call this "Jumping Spider". I only managed to capture the front half of it as it moves very fast.

I would call this "Camouflage Dragon Fly" because if you do not look carefully, you would not have noticed it on the tree due to its tree-like coloured body.

Due to the backlighting, the outline of this spider pic looks pretty soft.

I had to cover (with cardboard) the lights coming into these tiny mushroom to get a sharper picture, or else I'll only get a near-to-transparent effect which isn't very nice.

A colorful grasshopper, took this with flash to boost the color even more and also it create a dark background.

Kampung Giam

Without taking up photography, I would have forgotten about this place for the rest of my life. My trip to Kpg Giam last Sunday brought back little memory of my last visit there as that happened more than 10 years ago. However, I find the place very interesting and the lifestyle of the people there simple and yet cosy, but do ask for permission before you start taking photos of them especially when they are doing their washing in the stream.
