More Lower Peirce Reservoir Night Macro Expedition 29 Sept 2012

I ventured deeper into the reservoir park at Lower Peirce.

The sound of the jungle at night was creepy and there was a risk of meeting wild boars as there were some spotted there in recent years.

The air was thick and so was the undergrowth but the man-made track was wide enough for me and my gear without having to brush and disturb the insects as I walked along the track.

It was a nightful of spiders yet again.

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

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 ?
