Picture Info:

The portrait shooting for yesterday was cancelled due to bad weather. So, my friend Dallas and I go for some nature shooting. I was looking for some nature shots at Bukit Batok nature reserve near my house when I saw this little creature. Well, the first thought that came to my mind was nature can wait! It's been a long time I took an insect close up and so far they all suck! hehe.. So, I took a deep breath, walked slowly towards that little slacker, aimed my camera carefully and kept bursting non-stop :D until it flew away. Much to my relish, one more slacker came into my sight again. hahax.. I felt quite impressed that i can get quite a lot of pics [in the end found out that these are the best pics tho :(( ].
