Actually, I did not know there was an outing at AMK Park till I called Ben this morning after my morning driving. Being late, I started off on my own and met up with MM, Ben and their outing groups. I must say that this is a very good outing as alot of shooters turned out, including Pentax group :).

As such, here's some of my humble shots to share with everyone. All C & Cs for improvements are welcome! Thanks for viewing, Arigato!

My Setup:
Canon 7D
EF 100mm/2.8 macro non-L
Raynox 250DCR
Pop-Up Flash with diffuser + 580 EX-II with diffuser
Handheld

My Settings:
W/B: Daylight
Shutter: 1/50 ~ 1/160
Aperture: f/11 ~ f/25
ISO: 100 ~ 400

Thanks Jacobs! As long as it is macro, shooting with anyone will be just as fun ;).

Thanks alot Burningslash12! Yes, Raynox is used for the shots except for the Leopard butterfly shots as a distance needs to be maintained in order not to frighten the butterfly :).

On the contrary, I strongly believe you should post ur shots. The experts here will be able to advise you what to do next time. That's how I'd been learning :)
