Thanks for contributing your shot here.
Yes, a nice shot of the FT.

Like to exercise and trek during weekends, at the same time hunting and shooting butterflies.

Federick,

Nice series you got there. Agree with you, butt hunting and trekking is a good form of exercise and time off away from urban areas ;p

Patrick,
Nice artistic shot you have there. :thumbsup:

 

[Federick]

Patrick, hope to meet up with you one day for butts or macro shooting.

You can easily find some common butterflies in any neighbourhood parks.
I usually go hunting in the central catchment areas.
