Night Walk At Lower Peirce Reservoir Park (27 Oct 2023)

 It has been a very long time since I last did any night macro photography. Taking the opportunity that I have some in-between time in the night, I decided to go to the Lower Peirce Reservoir Park to test out my simplified macro setup (Morning Walk At Lower Peirce Reservoir (14 Oct 2023)) under night conditions.

After some fumbling (yes, it has been a while), I finally got use to the new setup and managed to take some photographs at the place. Here's a shot of a commonly encountered small butterfly in Singapore (Lesser Grass Blue (Zizina otis lampa)). 

Leaf Beetle ~ 4 mm

Chafer Beetle ~ 10 mm

Darkling Beetle ~ 10 mm

Darkling Beetle (Amarygmus metallicus) ~ 8 mm

Sap Beetle ~ 3 mm

Ground Beetle (Catascopus facialis) ~ 15 mm

Darkling Beetle (Cryphaeus gazella) ~ 10 mm

Darkling Beetle ~ 15 mm

Although this was a short trip (about 1 hour), I am pleasantly surprise to be able to find a good number of beetles.  After looking at the photographs, I will need to tweak my macro set up to add a diffuser to prevent the hotspot caused by the flash. Until the next time...
