Day 2 of 365

The Copper-cheeked Frog (or White-lipped Frog) occurs in shallow streams in lowland primary forest, adjacent secondary forest, and freshwater swamp forest. 

Adult frogs generally perch low down on stream side branches or fallen forest debris. They are moderately small in size, measuring up to 7 cm but generally less than 4 cm. Their unusual call sounds somewhat like dripping water.

As the name suggest that it is not a usual 365 days photo project wherein one will go out shooting one photo every day. In the world of macro photography it is very difficult (for a person with a 9AM to 6PM job) to shoot a macro photo every day and I am not saying I will not try but if I won't find any subject to shoot I will dig my archive and pull out an old photo and post.

So this project is basically revolves around posting one photo on my blog and social media every day for the next 365 days from my archive. This way I will be able to edit alot of old photos (yes I am guilty of not sorting out my photos and have a lot of back log) and will be able to post regularly on my blog.

So guys follow my blog via email here or follow me on social media (links in Header) to see an interesting looking bug every day for the next 365 days.

Day 1 of 365

Orb Web Spider (Eriovixia laglaizei)

This particular spider is very common in Singapore. Orb - weaver spider or araneids are member of the spider family Araneidae and are often found in Gardens, Fields and Forests. 

IMOG - Informal Macro Outing Group is a macro photography group run by the members of NPSS (Nature Photographic Society, Singapore). If you are in Singapore and would like to see/ learn / shoot macro photographs you can sign up for their weekly macro outing (here). Every week one of the leader of NPSS will lead an outing in some of the macro sites identified by NPSS and this time it was Allan (one of the best macro shooter / Spotter in Singapore) leading an outing at chestnut Avenue. It was nostalgic going on an outing with IMOG since I started learning macro photography with IMOG back in 2012. It is an amazing platform to learn and see the unseen world first hand.  

NPSS is a registered photographic society in Singapore with the aim of creating an interest in preserving the beauty of the natural world through photography and their activities include

In addition to the above they have an interactive website where members can post their photographs for critique and ask for any advice. They also hope to reach out to the general public through a once a year event in the form of an exhibition or competition.
