A day at the garden

G called me up this morning and asked whether I would be free to help him chose some plants at Sg Buloh for his new condo. Since it is a holiday, I instantly said yes! I also figured that after my disastrous gelato assignment, I should go back to basics and try shooting something simpler (and does not melt in our heat!!!). While G was busy choosing his plants, I took this opportunity to try out all my camera's manual settings. Several hours later, these are the results. I'm still not totally satisfied by them but I think they are much better than the frightful gelato photos though.



Tried some macro shots on these orchid hearts


These were to test on F numbers and exposures


Playing with the ISO meter



I'm still trying. The lesson continues....
