Less talk, more photos! ;-)

People say that if you have a macro lens, one of the things that you have to try to take a photo of is the ladybird Smile.

I got my macro lens when it was end of Autumn and nak masuk Winter and it was quite dificult to find any ladybirds kat belakang rumah nor kat depan rumah!

Until lah we got to the farm and Miss 7 (who else lah kan Winking smile) found a ladybird among the leaves on the round. Luckily lah masa tu I was holding the camera with the macro lens already attached to it so cepat2 lah I ambik gambar, hikhikhik….

Lepas tu, Miss 7 and Miss 12 terus clapped and said, “Yeay…you got your first ladybird Mum!

Hahahahaha…..

But it wasn’t that well focused unfortunately…Takpe, Spring and Summer nanti, boleh try test my skills again kan! Open-mouthed smile.

And I took some other photos of nature around the farm…

The 2 photos kat atas ni are photos of funnel web spiders’ webs (kalau tak silap lah). They were quite big and I boleh bayangkan how big the spider would have been!

Tak berani I pergi dekat2, hahahaha….

I like these 2 photos, 1 showing off the web and the other one showing off what’s behind the web (The Other Half concentrating on eating a feijoa fruit).

These 2 are photos of the ground cover after the frost have melted but still really cold.

The moss (see, moss kat OZ pun sama aje macam moss kat mana2, hahaha).

The scenery around the farm. Every farm has to have a broken down machinery tuck somewhere in a corner and a boat? Winking smile.

See, tak habis lagi photos from our farm holidays tu sebenarnya, hehehe…

And ini pulak the Rocky Road slice I made tadi to take to Masjid esok.

I made using this recipe but I subs half of the glace cherries with salted cashews and I used a mixture of letover Nice biscuits, arrowroot biscuits, teddy shortbreads and milk coffee.

Dah lama sangat2 I tak buat rocky road ni. Everyone loved it Smile.

Pergh!!. Best nyer ader micro lens..cantek-cantek gambo.. hoho.. Rocky Road slice tu udah rupe kek batik kite erk???.. tp msti lebih coklat n lebay tahan lame.. ape-ape pon saye ttp vote kek batik, sebab Rocky Road slice akak tu tak sampai lg kat tekak sy nie.. hahahaha..

Annisa said...

lemongrass said...

Shiera,
Kat sini pun mahal gak and I pun waited bertahun2 baru dpt macro lens, hehehe.

Kak Azie,
We all pun rindu nak pergi that farm balik :-)

Taufik,
Salam. Sapelah yang saiko kamu sbb follow blog bini orang tu? Follow blog aje kan, bukannya follow bini orang tu, hahahaha. I rasa lagi susah kalau you follow blog gadis remaja :-).
Rocky road slice tu memang kiranya kek batik Mat Saeh lah tapi sebab Mat Saleh tak pakai kain batik, tu yang kena tukar nama jadi rocky road :-)

Annisa,
I beli macro lens ni online aje sbb beli online lagi murah dari beli kat kedai. Murah dlm $200-300 pulak tu! Tapi memang best bila dah ada macro lens ni sbb tetiba aje berminat dgn insects, hehehe....

Mama Gee,
I love my DSLR, mine sbb I use it 95% of the time :-).

Blu4sky,
thanks :-). But I dont think I will ever get to be at the same level as a pro though. Jo MekarMewangi tu memang terer ambik gambar kan :-).

sHieRa cAkAp said...

Nampaknye kenalah saya pun tunggu bertahun-tahun jugak.. Hihihi... But sekarang pun dah jarang guna DSLR..Dah berhabuk agaknya kat dalam beg tuh!
