Jordan Lye

I get bored with the shooting I did normally, when I looked at other people photos I find that their macro shot are impressing and out of the world, I wonder how can I to be like them? So I try with no flash macro for the first day, the result is not bad, after that try to shoot with tripod but with some fill in flash together with my D.I.Y diffuser, I find that these shots are much more impressing than my previous one. Most of my shots are Dragonflies are because they seldom move around and they are not camera shy. Something to share here………..

This is my first macro for 2010, finally I can have my own time and use photography as my hobby I have been away from macro since Nov 2009, and I yet to make myself a good diffuser. I hope these shots will entertain you’ll a bit. Nikon is launching 2 new lens today, 24mm f/1.4 and 16-35 f/4, but all i hope is a lens like canon MP-E65 5:1 macro lens. Still waiting……..

After further consideration I decided to post all my activities on a single blog, is easier for me to manage and for you all to refer. I will be closing down my other blog soon, at first I just want to put this blog for those wedding photos I took, but I think beside wedding, I like to share my life, my art and my observation on every little things in this beautiful world . I know is a little bit complicated for a blog like this, but what you see in Jordan Lye is actually jordan’s life……….

I was awake by some chatting noise and the sound of bus engine. Today is Saturday, for sure there will be a lot of tourists in Cameron highland. I quickly prepare myself and heading to the bees farm to avoid the traffic and crowd. At 8:23am I’m the first one who reached the farm, it was a fantastic morning because I got all the shot I want, I can take my sweet time and composed it.

We left the apartment around 11:30am, then stop by the market to buy some corns before we really heading back home. I’m enjoying every moments here, first of all I love the climate, secondly I got some good photos to put in my flickr, thirdly I bought a lot of plants and flowers and lastly I had fulfill my promise to my wife

This is my second visit to Balik Pulau and Sg Burong. The first one was with Milan Teh , now is with Tommy Tan. We almsot cancel the trip due to the shower, but luckily we didn’t if not we will regret for a very long time because of the twin rainbow. Is a good place for shooting, we shoot some macro, landscape, rainbow and sunset there, the life in here is totally different from the Urban life, is an isolated place and another world in Penang. Is good to visit here once a while to relax yourself and mind.
