Night Macro photos - 夜间微距相

Night macro shooting is interesting! But very tired. Shooting started from 8pm and ended at 12am. I came for the shooting right after my work (applied 2 hours time-off just to leave office early) focusing light is very difficult to handle and control....I dont have "Third" hand to hold torchlight and shine on the subject...must think of a way how to hold my focusing light.....

Overall, the experience for shooting night macro is very nice! A search light (for you to search for insects & for you to shine on path way to walk) and a focusing light (to shine on the subject to shoot) is a MUST @ Lower Perice! That place is very very dark, without search light, forcusing light you cant go anywhere.

夜间微距摄影非常好玩！但是也非常累哦...我们从晚上8pm 开始一直至凌晨12am多才走出那漆黑又伸手不见五指的地方，每个人就只靠一，俩个手电筒来照明路线。 夜间摄影最重要的是要怎么用一个手电筒来照明所要拍摄的昆虫(可以称为对焦灯)和一个手电筒来寻找昆虫和照明行走的地方。在夜间行走是要很谨慎的，安全第一！ 在下一次的夜间微距拍摄时，我得先想下怎么把对焦灯绑在相机上或用别的方法...(我可没有第三只手哦)

This is very confuse...I like macro shooting, I like insects, but...I am scare of spider...they like to jump! Sometimes while you are shooting, they just jump onto your lens...I ready have to overcome this fear....but when...hahaha

好复杂啊...我喜欢微距摄影，我喜欢昆虫, 但...我非常怕蜘蛛...蜘蛛是又可爱又可怕因为...它们喜欢跳! 有时在影它们时，一有机会它就会跳上相机镜头! 我真的要想办法克服这个恐惧... 但是...几时呢？哈哈

Saw these "team-work" ants, bigger ants will use their body to support the younger one, stretch their body and hold on to opposite leaf so it body can become a "bridge" for the young one to "cross" over safely. These ants are so co-operative and intelligent!

聪明,团结的下蚂蚁！成年蚂蚁懂得利用自己的较大身形,伸长自己的身子抓住前方的叶子然后形成一座桥梁，让小蚂蚁们可以"过桥"

This cute little spider colour was so nice and I cant stop to shoot it. First I thought was a Jumper Spider (In short we call it as "JS") but was being highlighted by the expert macro shooter that it should be a crab spider ^ . ^

这只可爱的红头蜘蛛颜色多美让我不能自拔的拍它。 原先以为是 Jumper Spider (JS)但，事后经"微距摄影专家"解说这是"螃蟹蜘蛛" ^ . ^

My first macro photography blog

My macro photography hobby started when I bought my first digital camera Nikon D90 in year 2008. I ever Joint macro outing organized by other macro hobby shooters in 2008 but was not really go deep into this hobby yet. My first macro lens (Tokina 100mm ) with that "distance restriction", I cant get very close to object...=.= slowly I stopped macro shooting after half year time.

My passion came back only this year 2010, when I bought my Nikon 105mm VR macro lens 1:1 ratio ^ . ^ This is a great lens and I love it very very much! I will try to go macro shooting on every weekend and shares some good shots in this blog to who ever had a chance to drop by. ^ . ^

Thanks!

我的微距摄影兴趣开始于2008年，当我拥有了我第一架数码摄影相机Nikon D90。我曾经和一些志同道合的朋友(在论坛认识的)一起去拍微距摄影, 但每次我所拍摄出来的效果都无法达到和其他人的"近距离"摄影....久而之久...我渐渐有点失望很懊恼...然后就停歇了一段时间...(后来才知道原来我原先用的微距镜头Tokina 100mm 的"近距离"是有极限的...不能够太靠近object)。

现在, 我对微距摄影又开始充满兴趣！和热忱！因为在今年2010 我在Hong Kong 购买了Nikon 105mm VR Macro Lens 1:1 ratio，这只镜头实在是太好了~太了不起了！用了后简直爱不释手！
所以, 我规定自己至少每个星期六/日 都要去拍摄微距照。 我会将比较好看的一些微距照放上这与有缘人欣赏 ^ . ^

谢谢~
