Hi am interested but might not have the appropriate lens is a 17-40 or 50mm lens enough to shoot macro? don't think so aite..
 

I just realized it's 7.30am :bigeyes:
I'm coming all the way from the east :sweat: Is there a reason to be there early? For good lighting/slower insect movements?

Also, is there anything else to be brought besides water? Do I need to wear long pants/jeans, or bring insect repellent? Sorry, it'll be my first macro outing :sweat:

hi during morning, there will be more insect :)
it ok to wear anything. insect repellent don't really need. :)
 

Personally I'll wear a long sleeve t-shirt, pants and track shoes like what i did for Sungai Buloh. Mainly cause I don't like to donate blood to the tiny locals.

No problem. :)

Let me answer on behalf of Peterpan.

It is a big group. start early gathering is to allow more time for people who may be late. If you can reach woodland mrt by 8am it should be fine.

AP is an open park. It gets hotter when it reaches 9plus or 10am and later. I usually wear bermuda and T shirts and sports shoe, have a water bottle to keep cool.
Insect repellent not needed. A cap or hat to protect your hair/head is optional.
I always keep a towel to wipe the sweats

Be prepared to :sweat::sweat::sweat: You will know what I mean if you look at Peterpan face 2 hours after we start shooting :bsmilie:

What is the diameter of your lens? I have an extra Raynox DCR-250 macro convertor which can be clip on the front of any lens if the diameter is between 52mm to 67mm.

The 50mm lens + Raynox DCR-250 would be good.
 

Ok, so are you guys gonna go for breakfast first?
