Macro Photography

It was a sunny Saturday morning. Together with my camera, macro lens & flash, I left home at 7am for a macro photoshoot outing with the Lightpainters to Venus Drive (along Thomson Road).

I must be crazy, waking up so early on a bright Saturday just to shoot insects (when im totally so scared of them all).

Anyway, it's my second time playing with this macro lens, the first time was when I went for Tetsu tasting but I didn't make good use of it lah. Its heaviness needs some time to get used to PLUS i didn't bring my tripod and diffuser, which makes this shoot difficult! :S

Photos below:

Everyone just went all the way out to capture the best. Dragonflies are of different colours, I have blue, red, green etc and Im sure there's more. Alot of shaky shots cuz when I tried to go nearer to take these insects, they suddenly flew away, i screeched and camera click, and there i have blur shots! -.-

But it was fun la, especially when you never realise how nice these photos can turn out. But of course, mine is just beginner, still have more things to learn.

Special thanks goes to my photographer colleague who lent me his lens and flash. Then I dont have to spend money renting them. No money to buy one now, Im saving real hard for my laptop. And i have decided to get the cheapest Macbook Pro. Can wait till my birthday arrives...

Im so tired this weekend :(
