The DOF very shallow ya?
Keep it up yo, usually we try to keep the insect eyes sharp (unless if it doesn't have eyes XD), just like in portrait shots~

Shots taken last weekend at Forest Park Penang 

105mm macro lens:

Penang Forest Park- Chasing the Lights by PF T.J., on Flickr

haha ...testing macro in rain today....
tQ bro .. it's not rare ...but very wild ...
very hard to get near
that day was my lucky dah, it stuck at my sink ...so ..shooting time ..hehe

hmmmm ..how to explain aaa...

please correct if i'm wrong ....

cause using high number app all the time, which natural are not sufficient ...

Great photos man, seeing huge improvements with the new macro lens   

i very agree what PF T.J say, he photo really huge improvements, keep it up

agreed ...

The leaf is keeping the dewdrop in place, awesome
Can try DIY flash diffuser already yo bro, it will help make the shots sharper I think?
As for spiders (or any other insects), in order to ID, we need to see a sharp photo of the top and the front    That's why I always take two version for each photos- one for art, one for science
Its good to learn about your subjects apart from macro skills 

nice ....
just IMHO seems the DOF quite small
agreed ...try DIY diffuser ...just try a simple one ...
then build from there to ur liking

Yeah, it will be a problem if you are using a Nikon and the lens doesn't have an aperture ring
Still okay if its a Canon you are using though

Yeah, VR will be usable as well, though I never used it since I seldom go lower than 1/200 shutter speeds. Turning VR on might actually backfire instead 

Eh, tipu ni orang haha   
I understand how you feel bro, lately keep raining, I also had a hard time looking for interesting arthropods T____T

All my shots were taken with flash
Using flash will help "freeze" the moment. Usually around 1/200 will be enough to capture small movements of insects, but with flash, you can pretty much capture movements of all average-speed insects; some more using flash means you can keep ISO down = better quality photos. Should try it out~

This is one of the few fastest reacting insects I've seen haha, even with flash also tak sempat capture it (if shooting at high magnification, of course ). I like your shot, even when its not taken with flash, since the bug is very sensitive regardless

Shiny bug by Daniel Chuah, on Flickr

Nice pictures Daniel. Love the mirror effect you have there. Not easy to find a lake clean enough to get the mirror and then idle enough so that there are no ripples. Am particularly fond of the second and last pic. The colours of the second picture and the composition of the last. The others didn't hit me as hard maybe cuz they were beside these two pictures I love lol

Some still shots of Danbo
