What she says:
I have always loved photography. It used to be snapshots of friends and daily life, but things changed when I bought a 2-megapixel Canon PowerShot A40. Because of the increased opportunities to shoot, my interest brought me further into experimental and then macro photography.

With macro, I was able to get nearer to objects around me, capture and share them. Sometimes we just need to look closer and we will find something different.

Other than photography, I am also interested in illustration drawing, crafting and traveling. Photography complements most of my other hobbies, which is good because I can enjoy both things at the same time.

In the future, I hope to venture into digital SLRs and more different perspectives of things around me. If there is a chance, I would like to travel to the nature parks around the world to see different plants and wildlife.

Inner beauty Yellow, white and red flowers are the most difficult to shoot in my opinion. There are a lot of times when yellow and white will overexpose and lose their details. In this cast, I try to step down and underexpose a little so the yellow in the middle can retain as many details as possible.
