This is my second time there for photo shooting, the first time was during the second day I got my A200. Also, this time I am to test on my new lens - the Sigma AF17-70mm DC Macro on taking macro photos.
The first photo I taken was a photo of a Hibiscus, unfortunately the result is not so satisfying.



Trying to focus on the pistil and stamens, unfortunately they are out of focus








The contrast of the two colors are interesting, but the picture looks like lack of something

The texture and the color of the wall attracts me, and the gray spot at the center added some contrast to it

Tried to balance up the walls and the view of part of Penang Bridge, but the result doesn't seems attractive


Sitting at the center of the four pillars, the photo is quite interesting


It's sunset, I like the silhouette and the sky. Actually at the bottom left, there's a silhouette of a cross there


Taken a few photos of this pollen eating fly, used the wireless external flash in order to get good lighting. This is the clearest one, the rest was out of focus, due to the fly keep moving around

Little Durian?

The light pole looks nice




I always like the color of the sky during sunset

Revisit the four pillars, the light was on, it gives a different feeling

Overall, I am very satisfying with the result of my new lens, it's sharp and included macro function. The only drawback of the lens is that the focusing might be not accurate sometimes.

I like the flower, u bokeh gao gao, i think i need a macro when i back to malaysia too :)
Miss penang so much :)
lol, go for Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 SP Macro if you want something cheap and nice. If you have more money to spare, then Sigma AF150mm f/2.8 EX DG or Sigma AF180mm f/2.8 EX DG, so you can stay further from some of the animals or bugs that scare of people. Btw, Tamron 90mm f/2.8 can be use as portrait lens also.
