A Night at Bukit Timah Nature Park

[submaxatp]

Went to Bukit Timah Nature Park during the night with oldnewbird follow CS member to see if we can get lucky...turns out there wasn't much insects shoot as the night was pretty humid and dry...1hr 15mins had passed, when we finally gotta see some tiny creatures. This are some of the shots taken for the night. Pls give me some of your value pointers if there things that needs to be improve that should be look out for...

Believe some of ur lighting is inadequate, try to lift the shadows by using a larger light source (Diffused Filled).. keep shooting to improve

(submaxatp): Dude, it really appeared blur out on my led of my camera.

(submaxatp): Bro, this few shots of mine were less impressive compared to the ones you took previously..I really love the amount of detail you got for your hopper shots. I learn from you to get the shot I have now.

Bro, I like the second shot. If it was facing you that will be even better, we both had a hard time taking the hopper esp. when it was your turn it doesn't seems to keep still...

You can come along too during our next night shooting at AP, my fellow AF member.

We usually start shoot around 7.30pm till about 10.30 plus...some hard core ones will "tong" over night till 6am next morning...try once but very "shiong"

so you are officially invited now :bsmilie:

It would be better if the shot is direct head and eyes close in.

Keep shooting and improve.

ya my turn only either fly away or keep moving... i think u put gong tau hahaha

but recently wherever i go like not much subjects..i think its due to the dry spell? :dunno:
