MACRO - Damselfly

Damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) are insects in the order Odonata. Damselflies are similar to dragonflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most damselflies are held along, and parallel to, the body when at rest. Furthermore, the hindwing of the damselfly is essentially similar to the forewing, while the hindwing of the dragonfly broadens near the base. Damselflies are also usually smaller than dragonflies and weaker fliers in comparison, and their eyes are separated.

LIGHTROOM : What makes 'preset' so usefull for you..

Presets can be used in 3 basic ways.

• For inspiration – Clicking through a variety of presets to find a great look for any particular image. Once you find a look that is promising you can further refine the adjustments the preset made to perfect your image. Creative presets can help you see your image in new ways, without spending minutes tweaking the image in different ways.
• As a destination – Once you find or create a preset that suits your style, you can then start shooting images specifically with that preset in mind. Much like film choice in the past, you can choose a preset in advance that suits your subject. I have a series of personal presets just for portraits that I shoot specifically for; I know to under expose a half stop and to set a custom white balance before the shoot. Applying the preset on import provides me with exactly what I set out for, much like film did.
• As a tool – This is what I feel presets were designed to be, a literal tool kit to hasten your workflow while maintaining a creative edge. When you have a collection of presets that are designed to whip your images into shape quickly, you can save even more time in the Develop Module. Using presets in unison, you can quickly craft an image that would have taken minutes or hours to do normally.

Combine all 3 of these approaches and you get more than just some presets that work in isolation, but an entire platform that can exist as a foundation for being both creative and ultra-productive.

Ladybird

Coccinellidae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Ladybird" and "ladybug" redirect here. For other uses, see Ladybird (disambiguation).

Coccinellidae

Coccinellidae is a family of beetles, known variously as ladybirds (UK, Ireland, Australia, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, India, Malta, some parts of Canada and the US), or ladybugs (North America). Scientists increasingly prefer the names ladybird beetles orlady beetles[1] as these insects are neither birds nor true bugs. Lesser-used names include ladyclock, lady cow, and lady fly.[2]

Coccinellids are small insects, ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm (0.04 to 0.4 inches), and are commonly yellow, orange, or scarlet with small black spots on their wing covers, with black legs, head and antennae. A very large number of coccinellid species are mostly, or entirely, black, grey, or brown and may be difficult for non-entomologists to recognize as coccinellids. Conversely, there are many small beetles that are easily mistaken for coccinellids, such as the tortoise beetles.

Coccinellids are found worldwide, with over 5,000 species described,[3] more than 450 native to North America alone.

A few species are considered pests in North America and Europe, but they are generally considered useful insects as many species feed on aphids or scale insects, which are pests in gardens, agricultural fields, orchards, and similar places. Harmonia axyridis (or the Harlequin ladybug) was introduced into North America from Asia in 1988 to control aphids but is now the most common species as it is out-competing many of the native species.[4] It has since spread to much of western Europe, reaching the UK in 2004.

A common myth is that the number of spots on the insect's back indicates its age.

Macro - Deeper Conversation

Subhanallah. 'Macrophotography' membuatkan aku melihat lebih mendalam akan hidupan kecil yang selama ini tidak begitu dipedulikan. Rakaman makro menampak dan menambahkan keyakinan akan kehebatan Allah Azzawajalla.

Pretty Tiny - Macro : The Begins

Bunga rumput ini sememangnya kecil. Serangga yang sedang mengintai lagi kecil hingga aku tak sedar langsung akan kemunculannya. Bila dilihat pada foto baru nampak ada serangga di situ.

Warnanya yang merah sungguh menarik hati.

Semerah gincu dibibir sang wanita menarik minatku untuk merakamkannya.

Kelembutan warna bunga rumput yang biasanya tidak begitu dipedulikan penduduk bumi.

Hidupan kecil di sekitar manusia tapi jarang di sedari kewujudan mereka.

Mahligai Dunia

Mahligai dunia sedang membangun di pinggir tasik,
bakal menjanjikan harga yang sudah pasti tidak mampu pada yang BIASA,
mudah-mudahan penghuninya sempat menikmati mahligai dunia,
tanpa lupa membina mahligai di akhirat..

tanpa alpa pada yang tiada,
mudah-mudahan hindar semuanya dari cinta dunia yang sementara..
