Last Sunday, with a few people from DUPA, we went to have a day trip at Botanical Garden, Dublin. We met at Trinity front arch around 10am and took bus 83 to our destination. There, Kevin has already waited for us and off we go.
It was actually a perfect opportunity to try out the raynox 250 macro adapter which i acquired some time ago. i thought it was gonna be a walk in a park.. but it's not!!!
i found out the depth of field is very shallow and any slight movement is magnified 1000 times!!! (nah, im just exaggerating here). to overcome this i had to use smaller aperture i.e f8,11,16 and high iso (400, 800, 1600) to increase shutter speed. although the result is not up to the standard, im still quite satisfied with it.
i also got a chance to shoot/snap some wild squirrels. it was a long ago since my last visit to the zoo, i would say its my 1st time to shoot moving animal. they moved quite a lot. there was only a fraction of second to compose your shot. if you are not alert, then they will be gone from your viewfinder before you know it. sekejap ada, sekejap tak ada.
i mainly used sony 55200 for the trip. have to change between manual and auto focus because of af hunting. but im still quite satisfied with the result. need to start saving for 70-300 ssm G :p
