If the spider is ok with the curry, then anyone whom cannot stand the smell of curry are probably worse than a minuscule Jumping Spider.
This jumping spider was seen outside my house, making its home on the leaves of my potted curry plant...

Planned a night macro trip to Bukit Batok Nature Park on 1st July with 3 other photographers but sadly only 1 made the trip with me..

Found this 8 legged critter sniffing up my curry plant outside my flat.
Wasted no time in getting a blue styrofoam as background and setting up my flash diffuser.
It was also great time to test my newly purchased Kenko 2x Teleconverter for Canon DSLR bodies.

Was outside my home when I noticed this fly on my potted plants (yet again).
Not sure if its the same fly but I quickly went in and assembled my 100mm macro lens and flash and proceeded to take the following shots.

I caught it resting on the leaf of one of my potted plants outside my house at 2am in the morning.
This common housefly was quite docile and allowed me to take many shots with flash.
That was until it realized of the intruder to its peaceful rest and turned around to face me.
That momentary confrontation allowed me to take a final portrait shot of its compound eyes before it dismissed me as a nuisance and flew into the night.
Some sharpening was applied via GIMP and using the "unsharp mask" filter to enhance the details of the compound eyes.

Buddy Alex Neo texted me "Good weather and clear sky today!" in the morning.
So I took half day leave and we went to shoot some insects at Admiralty Park.
Here are some better macro shots of the insects we found.

| Compound eyes! |

| White Spider that resembles a crab. Very small eyes! |

| Favourite Macro Bug, stays still and poses for long periods of time. |

| This bug looks almost like a fish! |

Made a new diffuser again for the flash in order to allow the light to be diffused over the front of the lens rather than above it.
In macro shooting, this is a cheapo way of using a standard hotshoe flash instead of investing in a proper ring flash or the highly rated "MT-24EX"
Drove to Venus Drive, a famous spot for macro shooters in Singapore. Free parking and the track is accessible easily to the HSBC Treetop walk. Watch out for cyclists when along narrow tracks though.
