Venus Drive Solo Afternoon Macro 10 Aug 2013

It was a lazy afternoon with the threat of dark clouds hovering over the entire Singapore..

I couldn't think of a better place to go for day macro except Venus Drive.

Mating Couples at Venus Drive 6th March 2012

Venus Drive on a hot afternoon has nothing much except some medium sized spiders and the mating fly species shown on the first picture. ( Identified from Frederick Ho's blog as the Micropezid Fly aka Mimegralla Albimana )

It must be mating season for this species as many mating couples was seen on the leaves, doing it in the open in clear view of predators.

I guess when it's mating season, the urge to mate supersedes the need to survive...
Or perhaps the importance of survival as a species supersedes the importance of survival as an individual.

Afternoon Venus Drive Macro Shoot 27 Jan 2011

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.
