The closer you get to your subject, the more intimacy you have on them. Yes, that was what I feel just now. My heartbeat getting faster, palm sweating, and uncontrollable shaking. I tried my best to calm down, without success. I feel frustrated and stupid at the same time.

I definitely need a tripod.

See more images in my photoblog.

If you are a photographer, beginner or professional, somehow must have heard about extension. Basically it’s just a ring tube (no optics) mounts in between you camera body and lens, in order to extend the focal length, so you can shoot nearer to the object. :) Cool. This is a cheap way to shoot ‘macro’, though it is not a ‘real’ one. :p

There are actually other brand of extension in the market, but Kenko has a great reputation on its extension, and recommended by a lot other photographers. The good thing are, it can still support auto-focus and TTL auto-exposure. Though sometime I cant really find the focus when I am too near to the object.

Since the DOF (depth-of-field) can go very narrow, slightly movement will cause image blur. I think my next purchase would be a tripod of course! Muahahaahaah… happy.
