Unplanned Morning Walk At Lower Peirce Reservoir (02 Jul 2022)

I was on leave and happened to be around the Lower Peirce Reservoir area to run some erands, so I decided to do an impromptu macro-photography session using my handphone. 

The weather was nice and dry in the morning and the place looked perfect for walking around. Here are two shots of the place where some of the beetles on this trip were found.






The first beetle for the trip was a colorful Darkling Beetle.

Darkling Beetle ~ 5 mm


Fungus Beetle (Eumorphus quadriguttatus quadriguttatus) ~ 15 mm


False Click Beetle ~ 8 mm


Fungus Beetle ~ 2 mm


Fungus Beetle ~ 15 mm


Beetle Larva

 

The trip was a bonus and has given me the opportunity to try out the idea of using handphone for macro photography. Although it seemed viable, what is lacking is still very much of the resolution of the handphone camera as compared to DSLR with a macro (1:1) lens. Nevertheless, I think it is still good for impromptu macro-photography sessions like this. 😊
