Before I go on about the macro shoot at the Butterfly Park, I
have to share with you something awful that happened to me a week ago. As
someone who photographs a lot, I have a horrible back up system. Actually, I
don’t even have a back up system in place. I have all my photos and my LR
catalogues stored in one, just one HDD with the last backup in November 2013.
After every shoot I transfer all my pictures into that one HDD, and wipe my
memory cards clean. Then, one day, my HDD crashed. I can access my files but
they wouldn’t load and I can’t extract them from the HDD. I could send it to
a data recovery centre but it’ll cost, maybe about RM200-RM300 (or more) to
recover 1TB of data.
I’m thorn, honestly. This incident left me rather heartbroken,
that I didn’t touch my camera for a week or so. I was pretty much upset during
this entire time, and I only have myself to blame. I’m probably going to try to
send the HDD to the centre but if it cost me too much, I am all ready to forgo
everything in that HDD. So, basically I have start afresh. From all of my
catalogues, to taking new pictures… Sighs.
I worked on the pictures from this macro shoot at
Butterfly Park before the HDD crashed, so I have the post-processed
pictures (and resized) but not the originals or the edits done in Lightroom. So,
here it is.

All pictures were all shot with Olympus EPL-5 handheld
with the Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm F2.8 macro lens; ISO
200 and an aperture between f/4 to f/10. Flash was fired remotely
in some of the pictures.
these are SO good!!!! :))))
