Day out with Isabel chasing stars 28 July 2013

On Saturday, my daughter told me that there will be some Disney teen stars from USA visiting Singapore at Orchard Link on Sunday(28th July 2013) and mentioned that she'd like to go down and have a look if it was possible. From her look and her asking tone, I knew she wanted to be there very much, so I agreed to bringing her to the event.

After much research, we found out the event was at ScapePark and 2 of the teen cast of the movie "Teen Beach Movie" will be gracing the event.

So the next day, we set out to meet these 2 teen stars. We opted for the train instead of my car because of the traffic and parking at Orchard area on weekends will be difficult.

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

More campers outside my house 31 Oct 2010

Was leaving the house when I saw this critter taking a rest on a large leaf of my potted plant aka "铁树".

It didn't take me long to set up my camera and flash with my DIY diffuser and started snapping.

The results of my DIY diffuser was very satisfactory!

This could arguably be one of the better macro shoots I had taken (with the lighting that I am happy with).

Click each picture to enlarge and scrutinize the shot!

This one was slightly out of focus as I was starting to warm up

Better focus in this shot

Another shot taken parallel to the focal plane of the insect's body

A failed top view shot with focusing off [ focus was on wings instead of eyes ]

A first satisfactory shot

This shot showed off the compound eye a little bit
as the compound eyes reflected the light from the flash

Another shot I was happy with

Last shot of the night

If you like the effect of my DIY diffuser, do send me an email to find out more!
