I Fell In Love With Macro

I don't really like macro shots. It just takes too much time, concentration and patience. But I knew that somewhere in this lifetime I would be stuck with it (for the moment perhaps or if I find something interesting). So having to test out this lense with a close up filter I went out prowling for victims to shoot. Some were willing, some were placed and some were forced! Ha ha ha... and one was dead by the time I got it.

I'm still struggling to learn out this lense. By intial findings I found out that with its largest blade being opened, the subject tends to be very soft while going down to 2.8 blades opening it went sharper. No argue as its about one of the cheapest, lightest and (prolly) best lense (for its range) out there.

I had no tripod on all photos and this lense does not have any image stablizer built in it. Being small its hard for my hands to handle so since I'm in the learning stage, shake blur should come into play. No pictures were editted except cropped.

Listening to Andra & The BackBone song titled Sempurna really brings the mood and partly it was because of Bazuki's work on his friend's wedding had me all started on this little project.

Do leave your Comments & Critics (C&C) for as many pictures as possible coz I really need to mock up this lense before I really dive into it.

Have a great weekend ahead people. As for me, I'm relieved that Adam is now a Q-Dee's kid and he is really excited more than ever that when I showered him just now he insisted to wash his own butt and then shower and putting on the soap by himself. All I need to do is supervise. I just love this son of mine more and more each day. He listens to me most of the times now and I will work my ass out for him.

Wifey and Adam, this is for you guys (both with different meanings!) you can catch it!!

"Janganlah kau tinggalkan diriku
Takkan mampu menghadapi semua
Hanya bersamamu ku akan bisa

Kau adalah darahku
Kau adalah jantungku
Kau adalah hidupku
Lengkapi diriku
Oh sayangku, kau begitu
Sempurna..."

This one is solely for you Wifey!!

"Aku ingin engkau slalu
Hadir dan temani aku
Disetiap langkah
Yang meyakiniku
Kau tercipta untukku
Meski waktu akan mampu
Memanggil seluruh ragaku
Ku ingin kau tahu
Kuslalu milikmu
Yang mencintaimu
Sepanjang hidupku"

After what happened these last few months, the lyrics of this song brings big meaning for me. Thanks all for the support!
