itsy bitsy the bugger

man it was a toughie taking this shot...had to use manual focus cos the autofocus just couldn't lock on to the web...taken @ f7.3 and 1/30 speed on ISO100 setting...quite decent lah...wish it could have been clearer though...should have tried macro mode... =))

try to focus the spider instead of the web. Coz spider will be more interesting as an object.

Always use macro mode when taking such pictures.

Wanna make the picture more interesting? bring a water spray and sprinkle some water on the web and make the sparking effect on the picture.

Just some tips. :)

Hello! You have so much passion and it is good that u invest in a good equipment. Else, you will be spending much more modding ur maxise (or whatever u called it).

You already got strong photography background. Go get your stuff, baby!

Oppss.. is that Lilian!?

cannot...it will be a neverending thing, i tell you if i get going on the DSLR...i will not get it until i am confident i can spare the cash for it...

for me ah, i take photos to record memories one not so much for the art of photography...probably around 65/35 split...

see how next year lah......
