Trying to work on my composition, but seems to be harder than I'd expected at such magnification. My hands also not as steady as it was 6+ months back:bsmilie:

These shots are without crop, too bad some legs got cut off^^;

Bro,

Which part of ECP? This is definitely a rare sighting. i have not encountered one in about 15 years. Used to see many when I was much younger and just pulled hem out of the water to have crab meat meal . . .\

Sorry but you got your facts wrong.
The horseshoe crab is NOT POISONOUS and HARMLESS.
The long tail is mainly used as a burrowing tool.

sree, that's really a great close-up shot and the lighting is excellent. :thumbsup:

skypacker, beautiful shot.:)

Cool skypacker. DA* surely shines in your pics.

Thanks for the kind words guys :)

Denis, you are right ofcourse, the horseshoe crab is harmless despite it's intimidating appearance.

Apparently they are closer to scorpions biologically than crabs..quite strange.:think:

Felix, I found it on the beach near that blue building restaurant (don't recall what it's called) near Carpark G. I've never seen it before on the beach, so it was quite a surprise for me too.
 

Shifu is back! wooo hooo...when gonna shoot macro again? =P

yeah, if not for the cut off legs, they are very good macro shots.:)
 

Bro your PP skills getting really gd^^
wao kao ... :sweat: ... and I still don't know if I do it right ... just feel that it appears ok in my eyes. You TOLD me that it's REALLY important. Just 1 session of mentoring, and i remembered till now! ;)

... Not shifu lah. Will be considered back after mid May bah. If you want to go macro should ask otc.

lol Hands not as steady, think must practise a month to get back what I had.

U doing better than I last saw ur work 1/2 yr ago. Colors, composition and PP more variations. Also not so much of safe angles/compositions. In short more interesting (well at least for me^^) Ya, as long your eyes look gd can liao. You're the artist, not like if you're being paid to do those shots^^

Marcus, that is close.:bsmilie: Looks like you are enjoying your new toy. Thanks for sharing.

Tks Desmond..Ur F 300 f4.5 is in good hand, performing extremely well .

Nice shot, I haven't got much luck with grasshoppers these days:(

3:2 = 1.5:1 macro right?

Yes, about that.

Removed the stalk and placed in on the leaves to have a clearer view of the spider

Looks like one of the wings was displaced.

Thx^^ Good to hear, as in the past are mostly from cropping. At least now after a long break, I'd learnt better composition.

Thx:) The green cast is from a leaf above the spider.

I still cannot do these spider shots! It's either I am blind and oblivious to the surroundings, or just don't have a good eye for little crawlies (which you do so well)...

From my 2007 trip to NATO headquarters, Brussels, Belgium. Yes, I only managed to look at these photos for editing now! :sweat:

You just haven't get used to it yet. Normally if I can't find any insects in bushes, i'll sit near by, close my eyes and count to 5 or 10, then open eyes to start search. It's pretty hard not to have any insects around bushes in Singapore^^;
