My camera is underutilized. Last used during Hari Raya only, having difficulties to find time for this hobby.

I totally understand how you feel man
I used to love shooting people, then I noticed that most of my friends don't like being photographed, so it was really demoralizing
Then I discovered macro, and I can take whatever photos, whenever I want haha; been shooting ever since

I guess it all depends on which genre you are interested in, and whether you have a group of like-minded people to push you haha

You can do it!

Green Hawk Moth Caterpillar by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A beautiful Hawk Moth Caterpillar displaying its countershading colours, making it hard to see.

The horn is actually located at the rear of the caterpillar, rather than the head, and there are two fake "eyes" at the anterior part of the body, probably to scare predators.

Electric Blue Banded Phintella- Phintella vittata ♂ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

This particular species of spiders has always been on my wanted list, not because they are rare; but rather because they are so damn fast and jumpy that a proper up-closed face shot is virtually impossible.


The Phintella vittata is rather tiny plus very sensitive and will flee whenever you get close or use your flash. What's more, the black-coloured face and eyes make camera focusing difficult and inaccurate.

Managed to get a so-so shot after many tries~

Note the extra long spider fangs! Scary!
