Bedok North Park 3 Sept 2010

Taken on a late afternoon with the Sigma 70-300mm DG APO with Raynox DCR-250 Macro adapter.

This time round, I went hunting in my army Goretex boots and gutters wrapping my jeans bottom to prevent ants from crawling into my pants..

Are these eyes or sensors?

Mushroom

Ixora flower

Red Ant protecting its interests

Very small crab-like spider [ camera-shy, it turned its head away just before I fired ]

A fly [ Focusing was off due to shakiness ]

Wanna know the list of current camera gear I am using?

Bedok Reservoir View Canal 2 Sept 2010

Reached home early and thought of trying out my Raynox DCR-250 with the Sigma APO 70-300mm.

The magnification was superb but sadly, the depth of field was so shallow that anything 1-2mm beyond the focal point was blurred out


A location picture

Some bokeh shots taken by the Sigma 70-300 without the raynox attached

Pollen is the cocaine for butterflies and bees!

Is it me or is that flower growing a pair of yellow lips?

A moth or a butterfly? Either way, it was perching still, totally oblivious to my lens which was less than 3cm away. Noticed the yellow pollen stuck to its body ?

AMK Park

I took 70 shots and sadly only 3 of them are good enough to show people.
Sweat attract the mozzies and I ended up bitten all over.

The first picture is to identify the location at Ang Mo Kio Park.
[ Opposite AMK Library ]

Took a pretty pink flower to warm up

Tiny droplet of water dangling off a partly chewed leaf. [ Seconds before launch ]

This caterpillar has to be my best effort to date. Taken with 90mm handheld without tripod. Using Nissin di866 with add-on standard cover diffuser.
