My Gallery - Tropical Leaves

At 7:30 am, sun shone through my window. It was such a nice day after raining at night. I walked around my village with my buddy, Canon 400D, and thought about which shots I would like to take. Oh a garden behind my village might be a good place. Therefore, I walked to the garden and looked around. Wow I saw some exquisite leaves. I took some photos with my Kit 18-55. Any comments are always welcome.

My Gallery - Bird of Paradise Flower

This was a good sunny day at my home. I saw the beautiful bird of paradise flower in my garden while I was walking around my home in the morning. Wow I was stunned. I should take some photos of my bird of paradise so I decided to test my Sigma 70-300 APO CG Macro so that I took the close up photos. Please feel free to comment (You can click each photo to see a bigger photo)
