FRIM macro photo shoot

Am supposed to be having fun at the F1 party at KL tower but The Guy got sent outstation last minute. So I am here blogging. Bleh!

Anyway, I went for a macro photo shoot today at FRIM organized by ShutterAsia. It was very tiring carrying my back pack, tripod and my camera bag then balancing them on my shoulders when I take pictures. Not to mention those huge mozzies were literally following us around the jungle.

We were in the jungle for about 2-3 hrs and those professionals shot a lot of bugs. I, the noob, shot only a few decent shots(by decent, I mean pictures I like. Quality so-so only). After viewing their pictures, I hesitated for a while if I should post the pictures I took. And I decided that I should! I got bitten by mozzies like mad of course have to show a bit of the work lah. Okay. Here goes.

Composition a bit out.

A colourful jungle! wheee!

I have no idea what this is called.

The original composition is not so good.

A simple small-leave-on-big-leave picture.

Path in sepia

So high up.

Escaping.

This picture was a bad one but I like the ants-on-flower feel!
So I tried to save it.

My preferred pictures :

A moth(?)-shell.

Strangled leave.

Orange lady bug.

Some shell.

Alien bug.

Mushies!

Alga-lookalike.

My favs! :

Stretching its legs.

Chilling on my web.

All pictures are sharpen thanks to my shakey hands. I need a small tripod, or a Canon High-Power Flash HF-DC1. Someone kind enough to buy me one? The built in flash is utterly useless when I need it to take some macro shots. Anyone kind out there?!Okay lah. Enjoy lah. I am damn tired today. Going to rest.Ta!
