Turning A New Leaf
These leaves of the dillenia suffruticosa (or Simpoh air) are native to the Malayan Peninsula (with Singapore at its southern most tip). There were lots of them in abundance when we visited the Southern Ridges over the weekend. What we found interesting was the attractive golden green glow of the newly forming leaves, which made a nice, contrasty photographic subject compared to the surrounding green of the larger leaves.
Emeralds Of The Forest
We took a short little hike through the Southern Ridges in Singapore today, starting from the Hort Park. I was expecting to do some macro photography and brought along my macro lens and tripod. Ultimately, I relied more on the longer reach of my 70-200mm lens. As for the tripod, I had to abandon it and use the surrounding railings for support since the metal bridges of the Forest Walk we were on magnified the tremors from the footsteps of every passer-by, making the use of the tripod pointless. I am happy to have gotten some decently sharp pictures in the end!
