These are some of mine. It's not easy to Macro shoots. Especially Insects, the flying ones.
With group shoots, sharing ideas make these type of shoots possible to me.

The Essence of Life

Acrobat

The Morning After

GolfClubs

Raindrops keep falling on my head

 

[LifeWorld]

This is extra shot. We decided to continue after the morning shoot.

Thanks for your comments, Ricky! I actually had sharper, bigger pics of those caterpillars, hehe, see them in all their spiky, hairy glory. Chose this pic because it gave me a nicer feeling.

But the bokeh ... :flush: I will NOT BUY BUY BUY! I will RESIST!

:sweatsm: Resistance is futile, I just bought an F80.

Welcome to the DarkSide. :devil:
But sell away your F80, and get yourself a F6. :devil:

 

[jamestyemk]

This is not a moth. It is a skipper (a kind of butterfly) belonging to the Family : Hesperiidae.

Thanks for correcting. Really a great learning opportunity complete with after-sales services from enthusiasts.

Look fwd to the company again. Keeping the Ponggol and Cambodia options open.
