Morning Walk At Lower Pierce Reservoir (03 Feb 2023)

 To overcome the camera problem that I faced previously, I decided to change the macro lens and managed to find the cheapest macro lens online (7Artisan 60mm F2.8 Macro Mk II). The lens was delivered a day before so it was opportune time for me to test out the lens as I happened to be on leave. 

The original plan was to go to Windsor Nature Park as it has been raining for the past few days and based on past experience Windsor Nature Park would have a better chance of finding any beetles. As I was enroute to the park, the traffic leading to there was reported to have a massive traffic jam, so I decided to go to Lower Pierce Reservoir instead.

As expected, I was only able to find one beetle (Darkling Beetle) on this trip but the purpose of the trip was to test out my new macro lens, so it doesn't matter if I don't find any beetles. As such, I photographed whatever critters that I came across on the trip. 

Here are some of the photographs of some interesting spiders that I took.

Although I only find one beetle on this trip, it is still consider a fruitful trip as I managed to test out my new macro lens. I am pretty happy with the new lens and hopefully I will be able to have more fruitful macro photography trips when the weather turns better. Until then, stay safe!
