These are Firebugs, they have slight resemblance to assassin bugs but alas they are nothing as exciting. I didn't do a good job on these, i think i can do better! So get used to seeing these insects cause I reckon they may appear here more often.
You know how it works here, the second pic is a crop of the first
A Day Moth and a Grasshopper
Nice Kitty.
I found these bugs under a Kapok tree, i didnt have my macro rig with me! At least I know know where they are and i will popdown this week to try my hand with the macro lense.
Noon. Messages are sent out via sms and msn. 12mins later we have gathered are ready to go.
Lunch. Char Siew, Siew Bak (spelling?), Duck Neck and Roasted Duck at Kay Li Roasted Joints or as i like to call it the palace of pork.
So the practicing continues..i know i can get sharper pictures i mean look at the fuzz on the leaf if i can get that i can get that by accident i can get the perfect shot by design..i hope
I wish i could i dentify this insect...anyone?
By the way click oon the pics, there still not full sized but hey its the best i can do with blogger.
This is a wasted shot. If only i had gotten the lady bug in focus as well, i would have had 3 animals in one frame. The lady bug, the ant and the aphids (one of which the lady bug is munching) . This shot frustrates me.
I am happy with these even though i didnt get some parts as smart as i should have.. lol now to start shooting at f22 .
After dinner i spotted this insect loitering in near peppers bowl so snap took a picture. Its cropped. Then as everyone was falling asleep i decided to take the camera for a wee spin around the block.
Below is an ant cropped form the above picture for some reason I cant upload full sized pics as i said before . I really got to practice with my macro setup. I forget to test out the gear on my other camera...such is life
My neighbours must have been wondering what i was up too.
Slowly..very very slowly i reckon i will get the hang of it.
After feeding bella i found this fella on the kitchen floor. so i snapped a couple of shots. I noticed that the pics are a little grainy when i shoot with the 350d which is 5 yrs old i reckon. I really should try the macro set up with my 20d.
