Night macro anyone?

**luenny** · 20th Jan 2009, 20:09

Hi,
Anybody went night macro shooting before? I'm thinking of doing one but I have no experience. Anybody wants to join me? Hopefully someone with more experience can guide.

Night macro can be real fun, minus the constant buzzing of mosquito. Get a good torchlight to guide you so you will not fall. I'll prefer company if possible at night as we might not know what or who might just come from the back.

Have fun!

Cheers!

Must remember to bring Talisman or Cross....

**luenny** · 20th Jan 2009, 21:18

Yeah, I saw the same thread on clubsnap. So you in Benetay? Hmm ... wonder if I can get Chuan Yean to come along or not?

I'm sure ask him no problem! Problem is i'm quite busy at the moment since term just started!

If it's not too far away i don't mind, if not got to wait till term break in June.

Cheers!

Sure, will need to wait until after CNY. I'm going back to Penang. After that will see how many people we can get. I think a small group would do nicely. I think I have 3 now.

Friend,
You can get one (not the same brand of course) for 20% that price or even less.... but need to wait a while for the shipping. I do not remember if it is OK to release these websites here. PM me if you need one.

I am currently waiting patiently for my first shipment, so I do not know how reliable they are yet. But they seems pretty popular in the Audiophiles communities.

I ordered 50 LED key chains for US20+ including shipping

**luenny** · 5th Feb 2009, 14:44

Hmm ... a bit ex for such a small torch. I saw similar one in KL too for about the same price. Anyway, I'll see what I can find in the stores first.

**Goondoo** · 5th Feb 2009, 16:44

To think of it, I think I did see such website posted in AQ numerous times without problem. So here it is,

DealExtreme

I am considering their "UltraFire C3 Cree 1xAA 1x14500 Flashlight (with Holster)" but I am testing how my first shipment will be first.
They claimed free worldwide shipping (I think, at least they didn't charge me for it) so everyone can order it yourself as long as you have a PayPal Account.

PS: It's also my first time buying from them last night. I shall not bear any responsibilities for any dealings. Pay via Paypal if you are worried.

Correction: Richard, they do offer some small discounts for purchase of the same item (classified under Bulk Order or something I think) of more than three.

Err... think i mentioned somewhere about shooting night macro eons ago...thought no one interested so never asked again.

If you like spiders... at night is when you go hunt them down. You WILL need a bright light for focusing more than anything else.

besides spiders there are of course other stuff..i've been on almost 20 night shoots now and all got tons of stuff to shoot.. usually last us from 7 to about 2am... not cos we like to walk..but just cos there is so much to shoot. it is a real challenge getting the perfect picture at night.
will post some pictures once i get to my other computer.

would love to join you guys.

Yup, my friends had posted pictures of snakes, big scorpions, giantic centipedes etc too

. Many things you don't get to see often in the day.

I think ranma's got the point there. The real challenge is getting the picture right. Well, there's always a first time. Ranma, are you in Singapore?
