The “Glue” Assassin

 

went a reserve jungle with my friends and family … and have a quick macro hunting … found a weird assassin bug where it stay close to tress with sticky (white, brown) liquid … and it’s “hand” change from tiny to bigger claw (just look like crab claw)  .. not sure what they want to do that .. and if possible I will re-visit and see whether it use for food hunting ? (other insect stuck on the sticky liquid just can go away easily)

… last sunrise for 2011 with limit focal length …

limit by focal length (this view should good with single frame ~70mm FF) .. as I borrow my 70200 to my gang and left with 150mm with 7d (crop body) … to make this view .. I have to create ~15 pictures to merge … and final output is ~120megapix picture ….

... last sunrise for 2011 with limit focal length ...

why GND and RGND ?

did a quick compare into single image .. for why we use GND and RGND

left … – no filter while foreground correct expose but the sky will look over

Center – with GND 1.2, the sky will be balance as reduce light go through on the top part but the horizontal level still look over due to the light source from there

right – the filter transit from center to top (darker at center) so managed to block more light at the horizontal level and maintain the details

there is no right and wrong in photography .. but using different filters will give you how your picture look like …..

and if you look for Lee Filter .. Singh-Ray … i may have some stock available

after years use my Canon 5d … follow me to countries, beaches, volcanoes , mountains, forest … etc … and finally it giving problem  … and need to go for full check up … I would say I have make full use of it by full test on salt water, poor environment (dirt, sands, cold, hot) … etc

I still ask myself a question .. “gear important or picture ?” and do you ask yourself too ? and my answer always the output so i have always put my 5d on risk .. 🙁
