This is the last post for this blog and there are no photos for this post, for the simple reason that I have started up a new blog. I've been wanting a fresh start for some time, and with my impending study trip to the UK, I figured now was as good a time as any.My new blog can be found at BlurryPixels.com. I'll be keeping this blog up, simply for future reference though. For those who have

In case you can't make heads or tails of the picture above, that's a lightning photo, except most of the lightning is hidden behind the clouds. More to come in future updates.Speaking of future updates, I'll be slowing down again over the next few days (weeks?) as I busy myself preparing for my departure to the UK and the adjustment period following my arrival there.

Nymph of stink bug, Pycanum rubens. Had to ask around for the insect's ID. I suck a lot at my insect A to Z.

For some reason, I tend to have trouble getting good shots of grasshoppers. Not because they're skittish or anything; just that my chances of getting the focus right on the eyes seem lower compared to other insects. The above shot is one of the few where I did get the focus right, barely.

This is something I've wanted to do for a while now, and with my Raynox I'm finally able to give insect macro a go. For sure there will be more to come in the near future.

More shots from the Sultan's birthday, this time from the "Majlis Ramah Mesra Bersama Rakyat" which was held on the 20th of last month.In other news, I was born on this day 26 years ago. :)

I just received my Raynox DCR-250 recently and this here is the first result of my eagerness to try it out. Still got a lot to learn.

Taken on the same night as the fireworks show from my previous post. This would be my first (barely) successful attempt at capturing lightning.Thank goodness it didn't actually rain.

Haha, I've been really lazy last month when it comes to updating my blog. The pics keep on coming and I do process quite a few of them; it's just the last bit about uploading to the blog where I'm usually stuck at.Case in point, these fireworks shots were taken on the 18th of last month. Well, better late than never, yeah?

The Sultan of Brunei, His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, has recently celebrated his 62nd birthday on July 15th, 2008. This post shows some of the sights to be seen on that day; and in the coming days I'll post up more photos from other events held to mark this year's birthday celebration.In other news, sorry for not updating in a while. Admittedly, I've been slightly lazy at processing

Be quiet! Well, this should be the last of my scheduled posts seeing as I'm coming back in a couple of days, InsyaAllah, and then it'll be back to live (sorta) updates.

My first sort of actual attempt at capturing bird pics which also happened to be hampered by poor light.
