Ordinary Orchids

June 11, 2008 By Jaxon S

Hmm… I wonder how real photographers will approach these orchids. From which angle they will take their shots and which part of the orchids will be made the central piece of the frame?

What Plant Is This?

June 9, 2008 By Jaxon S

Nature photographers, I believe, should know a thing or two about nature. The more they know about flora and fauna species, the better. It’s like taking the photograph of a person and be able to tell his or her name.

I don’t know what type of plant this is but here it is anyway.

Little Sunflower

June 7, 2008 By Jaxon S

I like taking pictures of flower. Over the years I’ve taken thousands of flower photos and probably thousands more in the future.

Just when I thought I’ve seen all flower shots, I came across this entry over at Digital Photography School. It’s aptly titled “41 Delicious Flower Photographs”. Darn! How I hate them for the superb shots!

I will definitely remember most of the shots there the next time I take my camera to shoot flowers even though, with my point-and-shoot camera, there is no way I can shoot half as good as they.

Three Butterflies

June 4, 2008 By Jaxon S

Is a butterfly an insect? Yes. Butterflies are insects — their anatomy is comprised of a head thorax and abdomen, three pairs of walking legs, antennae and a pair of wings.

You can tell the weather just by looking at the photographs under which they are taken.

Dragon Fly Macro, My 100th Post

June 1, 2008 By Jaxon S

This is my 100th post since I started this blog on October 11, 2007. It has been a journey punctuated by rapid burst of entries and several long intervals in between.

This photo of a dragon fly was taken today at the Butterfly Park in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Heeding my own advice on taking photos, I’ve taken dozens of shots but alas, the weather was not helpful. The sky was overcast and the rain came soon enough.

To commemorate my 100th entry, I’m posting here all the usable shots out of several dozens I’ve taken at the park before the rain came.

This one looks like a dead leaf. I almost missed it.

That’s about it, folks. Hope the photos have given you some visual treats.

These Are No Macro Shots But I Can’t Resist Posting Them Here

May 30, 2008 By Jaxon S

These two photos are taken as I was riding a cable car towards Genting Highlands Theme Park on Tuesday, May 27.

I like the ironic interplay of the mist and the cables. The mist was supposed to blur things but in this case, it has instead highlighted the subject, namely the car and the cables.
