PhotoTrip: Botanic Gardens
And then we are off. Phototrip time! WooT WooT! Monday was a little let down. Change of locations. The Ubin trip was called off.
Oh well, enjoyed myself nontheless. Packed my camera gear and i was off to the Botanic Garderns. Had an overcast sky. Was praying that it wouldnt rain. Thank you God. The weather held out. As i got there, wow... Apart from the locals working there, i think i'm the only local there! Hee.
Oh well, time to blend in. Whipped out my camera and time to act touristy.
And time to get tigger happy. Started taking all sort of things. Flowers, plants, ants, bees. Whatever i could get into my viewfinder, it was captured. No hot chicks there that day though. LOL. Was a nice day to stroll about the gardens. Cool breeze, cloudy weather. Flowers are in bloom.
Managed to put full use of some of my lenses. Ah the 400mm Prime lens was finally back into service.
Macro tubes extensions was a good investment.
Oggies startd out from the visitor center and head of towards the Ginger garden.
Venture ard there, saw many pretty flowers there. Ahh... at one with nature.
Next stop, headed to the Bandstand. Along the way capture a few shots of sculptures.
And other interesting plants here and there. I think i should up load the pics.
Clearer explanation. But photobucket is taking forever!!! hehe.
Verbal description is a litte hard to explain and describe the beauty aroud me.
