Thanks schmike, pinholecam & peterpan. Yeah, I kinda the realised the pics were a bit underexposed. The thing is I PP'ed it to be 1-2 stops lower cos I tot initially that they were too overexposed. I guess this is also something I need to look more into. I am using the histogram but sometimes...

Hi again, Managed to cook up the most talk abt diffuser, the victor setup, last week. Not exactly the same as the examples shown in the threads here but I hope it's good enough. Before the rainy climate came last week, I was able to catch a few simple subjects at Bishan Park. Comments...

Excellent! Very fierce...

Thank u bro. It sure helps a lot knowing what my normal macro lens without extension tubes and diopters can do. Now thinking want to buy ext tubes or not. :p

Awesome series. Especially love #29 & #30. Wonderful catch. Very fierce. Though dun mind. Can check with you for no #4 & #20, did u need to use any further magnification tools to get those shots?

hi dude u can check with bro sje4182. That time after i bought my Tamron 90mm he mentioned that he has one that was a few months old that prob can be let go. Price wise better quote from him. I got mine 1st hand from Cathay Photo @ $560. One word of advice though, please check the lens properly...

Thanks bro. Gd advice. Sure, i'll work on the lighting. No chance these few days. Raining. :(

I like #03. Maybe it's just me but I find insect shots with a yellow background is really outstanding. Bro, as per many seniors advice here, external flash is a necessity when dealing with macros. I myself faced problems with my on-board flash+tamron 90mm cos once it's fully extended, i can't...

To answer your question, yup, I used flash but still learning how to diffuse the output. Hehe. Newbie rookie mistakes. Thanks for the liking. I appreciate the encouragement.

Yeah, come to think abt it, #07 does look a tad under exposed. Anyway, I made a DIY diffuser from an old empty lens box and some tracing paper from Popular. (Didn't get to go to Daiso). Wanted to try it out today but pfft, rained the whole day. Maybe another day. Will post the results, if any...

Hi tchuanye. Also thanks for the advice and review. The focus is quite hard to get used to due to the thin focal plane with macro. But after reading some techniques and applying it via thousands of shots, I think I'm getting the hang of it. Though still at the stage to shoot many many and then...

Thanks for the encouraging words melvynyeo! Appreciate it...

Thanks blackchua for your feedback. I know #02 is distracting but I couldn't help liking it cos the picture makes me wonder what the scenario was. Could be it was feasting or could also be it was trying to help the other one. :) Still appreciate your inputs. Here are a few more shots that I...

Hi, Just recently tried out Macro photography. Still not feeling the 'kick' from my pics as compared to when I viewed others. Not sure if lacking technique or equipments. Sharing some of the best shots I believe I have achieved and hope to get some feedbacks to further improve. Using a...

LMAO...
