Very nice. What new toy were you playing with? Maybe I should pay a visit to Pasir Ris park, since it is close to where I live.

Hi what len you using with your KM5D for your macros shot

rTwin · 28th December 2005

hmm let me guess.. sigma 70-300 apo?

morning guys. sorry, it was the minolta 100mm f2.8 macro

Great shots - Bravo. I especially like the first and last one

I think the KM5D makes a great cam for macro due to the built in AS....helps alot in taking shots.

Technically, the shots are good. Details are there and in focus. You may want to compose the subject abit more. Usually, taking insects from the back is not so appealing. Sometimes from the front or sideways. If sideways, try to keep the camera plane parallel to the subject so all the insect is in focus.

For #2 shots, I like the contrasting colours. was it taken in bright sun? A slight burst of fill flash may highlight the shadows of the long legged fly.

Just my 2c sharing.

tchuanye: and thank you for your suggestions to improve. for #2 the morning sun was indeed illuminating the whole shot.
