Well, your G9 should be able to do pretty well. Or you can try to get a long zoom lens for your DSLR.

Fishing rods? Nah... too much gear to lug around... when I shoot macros, I'd have a bag of gear and a monopod already... no more room for fishing gear. hehe...

Anyone else interested in this macro trip??

Let's firm up the date to 19th Jan 2008.

Well, about 2 hours or so...

Normally from 10am to about 12 noon... past that, it's a lil too hot and the insects will be too active to shoot easily.

I'm quite interested for the 19th... but can't confirm. Curfew for me is till 11.30am. That's when I have to report in for 'daddy' duties. Haiz.... Let me know if it's on or not. Would certainly hope to meet up.
