Enter To The Small World
To convert the world of the small things into the picture is very difficult as I thought. When I do macro photography and looking for a bugs as a subject. There is nothing I could get only for the blurry images due to slight movement. With extreme magnification of the image, I have to do several adjustments in shallow or deep depth of field to get sharp images. Then I realized, it’s very hard and too challenging just for one picture of macro photography.
Lastly, I found a tiny snake lying on the grass and started taking pictures. According to the villagers, they called it as “Ular Sawa Burung”. As seen picture above, its display threatening posture.
