nice. i think the focus is ok... lynx spiders looks more dramatic when u take them from the side or the front though
Thanks, wanted to take a front view but it keep avoiding eye contact with me:embrass:

lynx spiders are not very shy... they are one of the easiest subjects when u're starting out in macro. next time, give it a light blow to make it change direction. careful not to blow too hard cos it'll just jump off if it gets startled
pretty soon, u'll start to ignore them cos they're so common ;p

Recent Singapore scapes.
K5 with Tamron 10-24mm. These are either blended in Photoshop or done via HDR (using Ptgui's exposure fusion)... Maybe I'll stop using GNDs after all, the cast on the 3 stop filters can get a bit disconcerting.

Thought I only got the female blue-eared kingfisher, after going thru my pics again found the male bird.

great shots, was at changi beach once for sunrise but i think it was not low tide so i couldnt find the location. need to check and go again next time.
hmm i decided to give up my tianya gnd because of the colour cast and i'm getting better at blending (but it takes me quite some time to do it) as compared to correcting colour cast (i still cant correct correct cast properly it's like so hard to me) but i'm thinking of still getting the hitech 3 stop soft though. is the colour cast of the hitech 3stop more prominent or less as compared to the tianya?
I haven't used the Tianya in a while, but I'd say it's less. The Tianya's cast stands out, while the Hi-tech's cast just tends to blend in, though it's there if you've seen the real scene. It tends to be more apparent during sunset timings - during the day it's not that bad, but you won't need a 3 stop GND for daytime shots most of the time, especially if you're using the K5.
Changi Beach CP6 is easy, I usually have to cab (thankfully I stay in the East), and most taxi drivers are familiar with where the SAF Ferry Terminal is. Just tell them it's the carpark on the left AFTER the terminal, away from Changi Village. If they hit Changi Coast Road then it's right before. The other way can be confusing though, since it's a long road and even the iPhone GPS (if you have Gothere) may not keep up. So best to head towards Changi Village and go from there. From the carpark, face the sea and walk right, and cut out to the beach once you can. You can't miss it if it's the right tide.
Hope this helps.

thanks for the info. i stay in the north so going to changi beach in the morning is a massive task for me lol. anyway looking at my old photos (taken in early january) i guess i was at the right spot just that it was not low tide. uploaded the photo over here for verification.
K-r + sigma 10-20 (single exposure, no filters) i remember i shot this after not sleeping the whole night at the chalet so i was wet and tired when i reached, pardon the bad composition, realised i could have done much better in hindsight like placing the sun more on the left. was thankful that i manage to find a foreground interest though.
