Location
Most of my photo was shot in a low land tropical forest in Selangor, Malaysia. While the viper same like others.Time
I found the viper in a early morning where the sunshine just nice for me to get the "bokeh" effect.Lighting
In macro, lighting is a essential tool for the photographer. A DIY diffuser was created by my own for most of my macro photography.Equipment
This was shot using Sony SLT A77 with a Sony SAL 100MM F2.8 plus a Sony flashlight 43M. While to stabilize the gear, I using a Manfrotto tripod to reach it.Inspiration
Macro is a photography that require the photographer to be ready in everything, physically and mentally. Be positive in every creatures we met, they do interesting, while we need to be patients enough to get it.Editing
A good DIY diffuser for the flashlight will help a macro photographer to be get rid from post-processing. But always shoot in raw is a basic step to reserve the full details of the photos.In my camera bag
Macro photography might need to be easy going. So a light pack will help in macro.Feedback
Macro photography is nothing to do with gear but the patient to the nature. Do enjoy it in every little one we met. Mother nature always gave us the best she have.
