Look Into My Eye

If only looking into its eye would make you a millionaire... For your information, the image is that of a close up of a GBP20 note.

Macro @ FRIM

FRIM located in Kepong, Malaysia is the location for a macro outing held recently by MyChiarosuro forum led by member Benten. It was a great outing with fellow members Benten, simplyrobin and mwky. All armed with macro lenses and off shoe flash equipment. I do not have a macro lens so I made do with an extension tube, manual focus and lots of back ache. The effort was not wasted as I was rewarded with the pictures below.

The rest can be found here. All images taken using Olympus E-3 with ZD 14-54 f2.8-3.5 Mk II lens, EX-25 extension tube and off shoe FL-50 flash via FL-CB05 flash cable.

National Flower

Come 31st August, Malaysia will be celebrating its 53rd birthday. Therefore, it would befitting to capture our national flower, the Hibiscus, in a show of patriotism. Well, sort of.

Cold Winter Morning

This morning was very cold, 0 degree Celsius to be exact when I went to start up the car. Frost developed over the night and this reminded me of one picture which I took.

Busy Bees

Bees are wonderful living beings, especially the bumblebee. Just look at them buzzing away doing their work collecting pollen. It is a pain though to photograph them, especially when you are doing close-up photography.

Nephila Antipodiana

Not for those with arachnophobia, I caught this big spider weaving its web after a rain the night before. It's by far the biggest spider I've ever seen. The web that it spun is at least 20 inches in diameter.
