despite the attack.

i went back to "gudang" for more macros the other day,
this time with a tripod.
a long sleeve shirt.
jeans.
and a shoe.

despite all that,
i'm still attacked by countless of mosquitoes.
by the end of the super short session,
i've got attacks on my face and hands.

i took just about less than 20 pics during the 2 hours i was there.
most of the time i was there looking at grasshoppers.
when i began approaching them,
they jumped away.

i spent at good 20 mins sitting motionless trying to get them to come near me,
i agree,
when a macro enthusiast i met the other day at the singapore botanic garden said this,
"macro is even more tiring than tennis man"
i believe so.

there was a point of time where i was sitting among the grass,
surrounded by about 10 dragonflies flying all around me,
the world seems to be at peace.
and that's why i love photography.
we tend to experience things not every normal people does.
it was a really beautiful sight.
unfortunately to me,
they just kept flying and flying non stop.
super hard to take pic of them.
after some time,
i decided to put my cam down and just enjoy the moment.


soon, it started to drizzle and i unpack my gears and head back home.

i guess i'll be gg back there soon.
this time,
with an insect repellent.
