Learning The Learnables

I thought my Nikon D80 shots need a little bit of diversity and improvisation, which I could maintain by posting couple of non-macro shots.

Well, here we go; a stunning cat gazing at my lens while showing off its marvelous green eyes and black skin. A skin which harmonized an astonishing contrast with the animal’s background to shoot.

Who knows what it was thinking about when I was clicking my shutter dozens of times in order to reach an acceptable doze of wild-cat-o-graphy!!!

I’m not quite sure whether the same idea has previously occurred to other macro-infatuated photographers or not, but some insects, most notably Butterflies, seem so secluded and off the frenzied pace of their surrounding. They sit as though nothing can disturb their pretty much contemplative pose on a tiny little leaf or a vivid bud, etc.

This little fellow seemed as like possessing such a gesture at least!

This is another macro shot which I took during my second though quite enjoyable visit to KL Butterfly Park.

In this Park, one may get quit lost into all available butterflies an their splendid colors, and the stunning compositions they form with their surrounding/evironment; a complete knock out for any photographer regardless of their proficiency and skill.

However, aside from all the colorful and vivid butterflies flying around there are other much cherishable insects(!) – don’t get me wrong, ‘cherishable’ for their photographic beauty and their unseen presence – which any person with a camera would die to shoot, such as this tiny dragonfly.

It seems that other insects all are feeling quite overshadowed by the enchanting colors of butterflies and thus developed a sense of seclusion. If you are about to take a couple of photos of them, then you gravely have to look for them. This is the opposite of the dancing butterflies which even seem to pose for a shot or two in some cases!
