Hi

Sorry for the lack of update. I've been busy these days, and i didn't really go out and snap any shots. Anyway, i upload most of my shots in flickr . I've been getting comments on one particular photo.

I took this lily photo at CyberJaya. I could have take a better picture, if i wasnt wearing my leather shoes. The comments i received, encourages me to snap more quality shots in the future.
Thank you for those who commented.

An Evening In Cyberjaya

So i went to Cyberjaya yesterday, and i dont want to miss a chance of snapping shots there. Most of the shots were taken at, Cyberpark. The rest is taken in front of Majlis Perbandaran Sepang.

All photos were taken with Canon Powershot A470

Pulau Chime or in English is Chime Island. Now why did they call it Chime Island?



It was so nice being at Chime Island, the sun was perfectly radient, the wind was so windy and nice, and lastly the chimes senerating me, i felt like sleeping there.

Met up with this friendly bird. Initially i thought it's legs were stuck between those planks. As i approached it, it flew away.

I really love this picture. It's so artistic. Would be nice to just sit there and enjoy the view.

Another beatiful view of Cyberpark.

This is a clock, operated with the power of sun. Watch the video below.





Waterlilies. One of my favourite flowers. Too bad, i couldnt get close enough to them, as i was wearing long pants, and shoes. I hope to get good shots in the future.



Water droplets on top of leave. I guess this is where the idea, waterproofing comes from.

Spotted this small tiny insect, as it ran through my glasses.



Beautiful flowers under the sun. When i look at them, i think of Sunflowers.

Bed of flowers.

How Macro Can You Go?

Hi, sorry for the late update! :) This time, i want to share with you guys, some of my macro pictures.

Firstly, what is Macro? Macro is the term in photography for close up focus on a subject. Most of the time, the subjects involve are, flowers, insects, details stuffs, words from books, or letters or electronic circuit board. Here's some of my shots.

Flowers:

~ I thinks this flower is cute. It's actually very small flower, i dont know it's name. In my country (Malaysia), they call it Bunga Semalu. Semalu comes from the word "malu", which means shy. The leaves of this plant, will "close it's self up" when something touches them.~
