I'm posting this here, as this new facility has more relevance to nature photographers in general. Mod, please move it if you think it should be better posted elsewhere. :) Following the success of Admiralty Park as a location for nature photography, NParks opened the new Dairy Farm Nature...

For those regular macro shootings who haven't read this, please keep your eyes peeled for cobras at the AH Butt Trail. From a few responses in the thread, it appears that others have also seen cobras at one time or another. They will usually slither away, but if you're alone at the trail...

Lots of nature photographers frequent AH Butterfly Trail for macro shooting, and the place is also well known for a variety of urban birds. Whilst there have been reports of snakes by nature photographers, please be reminded that these sightings are not rumours nor the figment of anyone's...

This is what I got from Canon (S)'s service centre. So Canon (S) feels that all the US/UK hype about replacing the sub-mirror assembly for the now-famous AI Servo AF problem is unnecessary? :what: Thank you for your enquiry. We provide Free repair as mentioned on our Canon website regarding...

Saturday 7 Jul 07 marks the reopening of the facilities at Chek Jawa Wetland, Pulau Ubin. Well-known for its diversity of marine life and special habitats, Chek Jawa was saved from reclamation when nature enthusiasts lobbied MND to conserve this biodiversity-rich area. After a few years in...

Final reminder that this takes place on 7 Dec 05, and that the RM1 coin ceases to be legal tender from that date. Statement from the Bank Negara Malaysia for info. I'll probably keep those few RM1 coins that I have as souvenirs. :)

Since spiders are in vogue in the macro forum...;p Stumbled across this pair of predators at Kranji Nature Trail. The scene was shot through a backlit Elephant Grass. Both the Mantis and spider are predators in their own right, but in this battle, there was only one winner. ISO 320 ...

... of the butterfly variety, that is... ;p A couple of shots from Sg Buloh Wetland Reserve and one from a public park. This is an off-peak season as far as birdies go, so if you're at SBWR, go check out the butts instead. :D Some of the 'weeds' are flowering (in particular those with...
