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.

Lower Peirce Reservoir Macro 21 Sept 2012


It was a misty night as it had just rained in the north part of Singapore early that evening.

I was disappointed along the way to see wet roads as the rain would have chased the insects into the depths of the undergrowth of the reservoir park.

But it was fortunate that some of the insects were still at the edge of the undergrowth, unwilling to move deeper in because they have taken much time to create their large webs and habitats.

Macro shoot Lower Peirce Reservoir Park 21 July 2012


Was alone for a midnight macro shoot at Lower Peirce Reservoir Park.
The forest was pitch dark when I was under the foliage of the secondary forest of the park (see map below).



Somehow I was fearless and had only my mind on getting good shots that night and nothing else..

Blue Dragonfly @ Bedok Reservoir Canal 23 June 2012


Found this blue dragonfly perching on a cool weekend night at 2am around the Bedok Reservoir Canal area..

Took a snap but I moved too close on my second attempt and the dragonfly actually CHARGED at me... knocking into my exposed forehead before taking off and abandoning the perching branch.
