Moongate Hiking/Photo Trip

Just few days ago, I had a hiking/photo trip through the moongate to 'no.84' and then walked down to the Penang Botanical Garden. This is actually part of the preparation for Gunung Kinabalu Hike. The whole hiking took about 6 hours + stopping for photograph and some snack. I went with Mr. Ang who is also a member of Water Watch Penang as well as nature lover and an avid photographer. He taught me some techniques on using the DSLR. Most of the pics are macro photos. Though my lens are not as good as Mr. Ang's lens, I managed to captured some nice shots of the nature.

Many thanx to Mr. Ang for his guidance as well as supporting some flash for the pics. His eyes are very sharp that he can notice those small insects the size of our little finger. keng leh
Here are some of the photos I have captured with my new D60. Mind that I have resized the photos for experiment purposes.
