spilopterus' photostream |
I love photography because I treasure the day when I can take out an album and see lovely and wonderful pictures about past experiences in my life. I quite dislike holiday shots where people stand right smack in the centre, body parallel to the camera.
I am a teacher living in a little island called Singapore. Our nation is small but jam packed with 4 million people. Being a Geography teacher, it is only natural that the love for landscapes and nature is in my blood. Photo opportunities here can be great or dismal depending on what subjects you are looking for.
Hopefully one day I can own a DSLR, but for now, it's a cheap but trustworthy portable Canon PowerShot S2 IS. Although I am still considering an upgrade to the PowerShot S5.
Currently upgraded my equipment with a Raynox DCR250. A little overpowered but works well. A Nikon 4T to being total diopter to +12.7 and a sunblitz external slave flash on a 4-way tilt hotshoe.

Mingfong says:
"Whether you shoot Macro or not, you will find the works of spilopterus beautiful, artistic and inspiring, to say the least. What you will see here is a world of wonders--even the most familiar insects become so captivating through his lens, not to mention the unusual and exotic species. If you only have very limited time to browse Flickr photos, he is definitely the one you should never miss."
