while my trip to Bake’lalan , I did spent ~2 hours in a lovely jungle purely for MACRO.. a beautiful jungle with so much thing found …
One of them is a GOLD bar … I thought why a gold flying around while I saw this … and when I approach .. just notice this is a WASP …
do not want to turn on torchlight or try to walk real slow and dark … any reason ?
I did above while I was hiking up Mount Batur, Bali, Indonesia ….and because something is on my left and it is so obvious …
almost reach top
while walking slow
more Bali pictures click HERE
Nightscape click HERE

I love to bring my Panasonic LX5 around so I no can capture what I see quick without take out my DSLR and change the correct focal length …
especially those macro object … which i share some pictures before here
so another e.g.
and while I am waiting ….
and in the plane …
etc … it serve me right for a decent image quality so far …
shoot this near afternoon …. and with the Big Stopper (Super ND) and GND .6s …I have ~12 stops to have my shutter open for 40sec to get the silky effect …

and more can view from my flickr and search “reflection” ….
while I started my landscape, many of forum friends had share with me all the “guidelines”/”rules” e.g. 2/3 horizontal line …etc …. appreciate that and I learn fast from everyone inputs….
as for now, I trying to share as much that in my mind to my gang, friends, workshop participants ..etc …. all the “guidelines” but I always emphasize .. while we trying to think and follow the “guidelines” , we can still capture what we love to capture as snapshot or follow own preference as this will make us enjoy the photography … rather stand there without any shutter press even the view is great ….
e.g. of this … I can’t make any good decision while the light (cloud on left top) moving real fast and if I still move myself to look for better angle then I definite will miss this beautiful sky …. there are nothing at foreground too …. if I make foreground 2/3 ….. so I decide to capture the view to share with other rather just view this myself ….
nothing wrong but it look not too attractive overall … but I will still capture 50/50 if I feel I have no choice … 😀
How I clean my filter .. I normally need to use plain water to clean it and use some fiber optic clother …
but finally I found Lee filter do have their cleaning kit .. and I bought mine and have some extra for sale …
