Greetings everyone
The college semester has begun again and we carry forth with our weekly Raffles College Photoclub outings. As always, members of clubsnap are welcomed to join our sessions.(newbies included)
This time we are going to start off with an activity that the club has been trying to plan for many months but was always having problems fixing a date.
We will be going for night macro at Lower pierce reservoir for some insect photography.
This place has a wide variety of creatures, spiders, scorpions, caterpillars, plant hoppers etc and are extremely fun to capture through our lenses (don't be afraid. They are very still and generally move only if you touch them). To get a rough idea of what you'll be shooting, visit the link here : http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=all&q=lower+pierce+reservoir+macro&m=text
Apart from that, the entire "night macro" experience is quite different than daytime macro.
So those who wish to join, just take a note of the time, date, location and equipment details below.
DATE: 9th July, Saturday
TIME: 8pm-11.30pm.
Those who wish to leave earlier are most welcome to do so.
MEETING PLACE: Casuarina Curry Restaurant

Stuff you absolutely must have![/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]1. Torchlight. You would think a macro lens is top priority. Nope. Its a torch light. Bring a small powerful torchlight please.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]2. Water. You get thirsty very fast, trust me. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]3. Macro lens. Or a lens with filter extensions, or reverse mount. Your choice really.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Tripod isn't necessary unless you plan to do some HDR photography of insects. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]External flash, if you have, nice. If you don't, your on-camera flash is good enough. It would help if you have a diffuser too.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]
