Not really a macro, but it's an interesting encounter for me.
Went to Sentosa Siloso Beach with my gf on the Friday the 13th:bsmilie: We were sitting by the bench and enjoying the sea breeze under some coconut trees. Suddenly we heard a thump sound, and thought a cocnut or branch dropped onto the floor. To our amazed, it was a snake.:bigeyes: It was about 2m away from us.
As soon as it reached the floor, it looked left & right as if it just woke up from a sleep. Then it just quickly crawl back to the same coconut tree as it it was no big deal. (I wonder how often it dropped from tree:bsmilie
Here's a shot of the snake:sweat: (It does rain snake)

If you are refering to the macros, I tend to use f13-16. Butterflies I prefer it at f8 so I get better bokehs.

Nice shot. This is a Paradise Tree Snake (Chrysopelea paradisii). It is also called Flying Snake and can glide from tree to tree. They do drop from trees now and then. I once had one that landed on my head! This is a mildly-venomous species, which means its venom is not considered harmful to humans. Furthermore, this snake is reluctant to bite unless provoked.
