I'm Back Shooting Macro!

'shoot within your equipment's limits' is my motto. i don't easily fall for buying cliche lens. you'll end up carrying a heavy bag on photoshoots, confused of which lens to use on location, or worse owning good lens but not able to maximize its capabilities. the only good thing i can think of is its cool factor. not to mention the $350 worth of workshops, i bet you can easily learn all those techniques on the net, tutorials are priceless nowadays. okay that's just my excuse, coz i'm cheapo =) but i have already set my mind on the next lens purchase, but will need to wait a little more till the manufacturer settles with its new agency here in SG. for now here are my latest dragonfly macros. and thanks for your time dropping by!

Serenity

Had a chance to shoot hdr's in a landscape/plants nursery. In Singapore, having a landscaped garden at their backyard is a luxury. But public parks and landscaped public areas are everywhere (that is why SG is tagged 'a garden city') but you have to be away from the house to enjoy it. Good thing it can be captured digitally.

Saigon Chronicles Day 3 (installment)

Day-3 was supposed to be a free day (no itinerary) but some of us decided to hire the guides and bring us to Chu Chi Tunnels. On the way I managed to catch some more bikers on the streets:

1 - Ice Delivery. Can you imagine drinking your juice its ice rubbed against the guy's dick? or butt?

2 - You'll Be Safe Here. Kid in standing pose!
3 - Off To School. Looks cute, but I wonder if these kids are insured. Even if, I don't think its worth the risk. My colleagues witnessed a taxi-hit-motorbiker the next day. Imagine if they were these mother-daughter who flung in front of them.

4 - Chu Chi Tunnel. The Vietnamese have claimed to be the only victors in a war against the Americans. The 5km network of subterranean tunnels is one big reason they claim to have helped them.

5 - Tutik Was Here!

6 - An Arms Dealer?

7 - USD$1 Per Round. Wanna pop caps on one of these machine guns or AK-47's? How does it sounds? ...to me its like 1dollar-2dollar-3dollar-4dollar....geez my drumming is no match to these earcrackers (you really need earmuffs when firing these).

8 - I wonder how many Viets had gone under its mercy?

9 - ...plenty of lives lost for no reason. Some Viets bear no grudge to the Americans, they felt they were just victims of war. For some, they only fought the Americans because they just wanted peace in their land.

10 - Notre Dame Cathedral. One of the landmarks the French has built in Saigon. I was late for the afternoon service so they didn't allow me to enter midway during the service.

11 - ...was behind the grilles when i shot this. 12 - Posies. Pirated paintings, anyone???
