This butterfly is real and very mischievous, flying around made me and Janice chase around the bushes after it.. these are some of the shots I got.. they are taken by my Sony 16-105.. I did some sharpening on the butterfly and the leaves.. ;)

i'm no experts as compared to Richard at AlphaDSLR... :ph43r:
i just know some handy tools on PhotoShop that always save my butt on shots.. :lol:
- smart sharpening
- magic wand
- lens blur
- distortion adjustment
- gradient to fake ND filter (for blue sky)
- making signature as brush
the very last 2 points I learnt from "The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for digital photographer by Scott Kelby" a birthday present from Janice! ;)

ya SBG is singapore botanical garden.. or any other Macro hotspots also can! ;)
Isaac - June 6, 2008 05:42 PM (GMT)
Sure!
But what other options are there?
Might want to let Jerry know about this if you're planning an outing.. He sure very enthusiastic one. :P
I only know of SBG because there got a lot of flowers that don't move.. so very easy to take macro shots.. :P
I tried going to Mt. Faber a few weeks ago, but there isn't really much there that's worth taking photos of!
