Thanks Koh for organizing the macro shoot. My son Isaac and I had a great time, though the early drizzle had me worried for a while.
It was my first time using a tripod to shoot macro, and I must say while I took noticeable fewer shots, I had more keepers. I guess taking better shots is better than taking many only to din that they are out of focus. Unless you have the Ma-bu strength of bro Jacobs, its really isn't easy taking shots freehand.

Below are a few of the this mornings pictures that I want to share with everyone. I saw all the other shots earlier, really high standard! Very impressive! I personally didnt see some of the bugs. Maybe I was still behind setting up the tripod. LOL!

C and C welcome!

#1. Mating Ritual



#2. Wet Cat



#3. Morning Milk Shake




#4. Jumping Spider #1




#5 Chrysalis (Pupa in a nest)



Thanks for viewing, and see everyone soon in the upcoming shoots!

Adrian and Isaac

Jacobs, very nice. Your pics are very good. I like your number 3 best. so clear. Sayang, I missed the number 1, would have loved to take the one with the large proboscis.

Hi nicholaslsa, great catch of many different insects :)

Do take note on the harsh shadow, lighting and compo ;) Shoot more, you will improve with all the input give by our masters /senior of macro shooters here!

I am still in learning curve too :)
