I always wanted to try macro photography but didn’t have time to do it. It’s either I didn’t have time (because of out of Singapore trips) or there’s no one who initiates the EB. That’s why, most of my macro photo shots were more on flowers and plants.

Last week, someone initiated an EB. Thanks to Sai, the award-winning comedian from Davao. I got the interest and that day was blocked.

Early morning last Saturday, we met. But the day before that, we met for Tanjong Rhu EB. What an addiction! Haha! Although Rhea came, it was only Sai and I who spent the whole day shooting the butterflies. By the way, we went to Alexandra Hospital’s mini-botanical garden with ample butterflies to shoot.

It was a test of patience at first. It’s just like, I already positioned myself, my tripod and already viewing in my viewfinder and the only task remains is to press the shutter when suddenly, your target flew. It happened a lot of times. But then again, as advised by Sai – chill, relax and don’t be pressured. So I did his advice. I positioned myself in a certain area where butterflies normally settle then kept myself composed so that they won’t be disturbed. That plan was so effective.

All in all, I got some satisfying shots. But not yet good though. Macro photography is so strict; I failed to follow them to most of my photos. But then again, first timers normally commit mistake.

Here are some of the photos I got:
