Puzzle Macro

Date July 4, 2008

PuzzlePuzzled? I’m, especially after seeing the endless angles in which photo-takers can approach the subject of jigsaw puzzles. Here are over 80,000 photos about jigsaw puzzle posted on Flickr alone.

Pencil Macro Photography

Date June 18, 2008

Pencil tipThis is taken some months back just to test the capability of my newly-acquired macro lens.

I’ve no prior experience about macro lens for point-and-shoot camera and after playing sometime with it, I’ve now come to believe that the shop owner had given me a raw deal.

Which is a pity because they are quite spectacular during night time.

Loose Fabrics And Dry Leaves

Date February 24, 2008

It just occurred to me that perhaps I could take a brilliant picture — at least in terms of colours — from dry leaves and fabric leftovers.

I’m quite pleased with the result although a more experienced photographer would have taken a better picture.

Barb Wire

Date February 1, 2008

Barbed WireThis barb wire perimeter fence is to keep the enemy away — in this case, the water buffalo herd. The free-ranging cattle can really wreak havoc to paddy plant if, by any chance, they manage to encroach into paddy field.

They can eat* graze a whole one hectare of paddy in one night, giving farmers their worst nightmare.

I took this picture many months ago at my old folks paddy field back in Sabah on the northern part of Borneo. When I was small, I used to help my parents tend padi fields. I was once a farmer — and still is, in essence and spirit.

*The word eat is used here until I remember the correct word to describe the act of cattle eating grass.
