Hindhede Park @ Bt Timah

Went to Hindhede Park at Bt Timah today with Sprintist and Falconite to ambush the bugs and monkeys there. Well, only found one monkey, but quite a few bugs

I'll start with one first:

#1 Febrita - Cricket at center stage [Whatchoolookinat?]

Hi Velasco.. Thanks for viewing...

Setup is pretty common.. Manual 1/80sec F16 ISO200 for most of the pics you see. The control of the flash is critical...which I am still experimenting actually. A little trick which I will share is trying to get the pictures a tad under-exposed, which then allow you to better tweak in Photoshop. (Stevewhy did also share this in one of his recent macro outing).

Haa... I have no idea actually, whats the ID for the spidey is, but it does look like the Rebel's emblem from StarWars isn't it?

Whaaa.. thanks for the following.... (thou tht was only like couple of days ago...)

Like said earlier.. I was still experimenting and the earlier series is shot at higher ISO (ISO1600 if u are curious) .. so you do get some pixel which is harder to control. I have an inclination towards high saturation macro but really apprecite that you point this preference out to me. CHeerios!
