Well, if we are gonna do it it would be next week - this sunday is mother's day, I have stuff to do. :P

I'm also not a macro pro, I just shoot for fun and to get some sun. ;)

A tripod would help, bring a flash if you can. :)

I'll also bring my 70-400 for the sunbirds there

Okay, so it's a date then ! ;) ...Sunday 20th May morning at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital/Yishun Pond/Yishun park.

Bro Velectron, onz ?
 

Should be ok if nothing crops up. What time are you guys targeting to meet? Not too early like 7+ please...need to catch up a little on sleep on Sundays! haha :P
Finally got chance to learn macro from you Bro Ghostfit! :)

Albert, I would most probably use a manual macro lens with my A33. If you want AF ones, I can lend you a 50mm macro + 1.7x/2x TC.

Yah, I'd look forward to learning from Ghostfit Sensei too!

Well, I was thinking we might meet 8-8:30 for breakfast/kopi... then start at 9, wrap up by 12 when it gets too hot...
 

sounds good to me :)

So only 4 of us? Anyone else interested to join?

Not sure if the hospital foodcourt is open early else maybe we walk a bit near the interchange. Or maybe there's near hawker center. Bro Rashkae you know nearby eating area?

The KTPH food court is open So is the Subways and Kopi Kaki there. Does anyone not know how to get to KTPH? If there's anyone that's uncertain, we can meet at northpoint instead...
