Because macro photography is at very short distance, the depth of field of is also very short. If you open the aperture in its maximum (pictured, at f/2.8), you will realize that you can pinpoint at very fine location. The stamens of a stargazer lily is very tiny already, but here you can see that I am still able to have bokeh even on its tip.
Forget about AF points—especially on the 6D where there is only 6. Do it manually. When you do everything manual it is a lot of fun. Obviously a tripod is required. Here the MT-24EX twilight is used on two light stands to give it an even cross-light effect. And as I have learned the hard way, always use a cable release because every bit of vibration will show, just like the telephoto shots. You really have to minimize the vibration. Use mirror locking if necessary though I did not for this one.
The bokeh from the 100 f/2.8 Macro is one of the best I have seen available in the market—and it is not even an L lens. It is one of my favorite primes available on the Canon camp.

What I learned last night while doing this 30-second long exposure is that the moon moves fairly quickly. I actually also had a 2-minute shot, and while the landscape lies still the moon moves so far away that it looked like a mistake.
In photography, there is an almost cardinal rule that you do not place subjects in the center. But rules are meant to be broken, and I think that the moon works best when placed dead center for this particular scene.

At the garden surrounding the shrine, the pink blossoms contrast well with the green rooftops accented with red stripes and yellow dots. I am unsure which floral variety this is, but since the National Flower of Taiwan is the plum blossom (梅花), it would be my best guess.

Did you know that hairy things grow on the petals of lilies? I did not. I always thought that they were just textures on the petals, but it seems that they are like pores on the human skin.
The joy of macro photography is similar to that of super telephoto range—it allows me to see things beyond which my eyes can normally reach.
I photograph this for its almost abstract formation through the bokeh. As magnification goes up, the landscape starts to shift. I can see why some photographers on Flickr are fixated on the craft of macro, as there lies pure beauty surrounding us waiting to be explored—when we are willing.

Color tends to distract. This composition also makes it more evident that I am interested in forms mainly. But flight attendants don't seem to care. They just think that I'm moving my iphone way up close to the teapots trying to find “faults” — which is rather annoying at times. SML is currently researching “new” hacks to photograph without anyone noticing — not really to photograph things illegally but just in order to “not scare the crowd” when doing street photography.

Fruits are nothing special, right? Except the fruits found at the market in Taipei just look so juicy, and they are so vibrant under the bright light. I have never walked by the market where I felt the need to buy some fruits. But here I did. I bought some “Taiwanese pineapple” which looks like a white version of dragon fruit and tasted like mango. I had no idea what it was really. All I knew was that it was oh so yummy.

Born Ralf Winkler in Dresden, Germany in 1939, A.R. Penck is the pseudonym for the artist, a name he used as he attempted to go under the radar to exhibit his artworks for the international audience while being actively pursued by the East Germany communist regime. His relationship with Galerie Michael Werner is significant, as it was this gallery where Penck would have his first public one-man show in 1969.
Penckâs paintings are known by its flat and pictographic imagery of human figures seen in Egyptian hieroglyphsâwhat the critics called âneo-primitivistââand other totemic forms. His early works suggest influence from Picasso, but having been turned down by academies in Dresden and East Berlin in his academic years, his work is different than those with more formal attitudes.
Besides art, Penck also has his love for jazz music. A keen drummer, he took every opportunity to play with the best jazz musicians of the late 1980s. His love for music has obvious influence, as his paintings also often feature lively improvisation of forms and compositions.
A.R. Penck lives and works in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Dublin and New York.

One man’s trash is another’s treasure. John Angus Chamberlain (April 16, 1927 – December 21, 2011)’s sculptural works are of pure magic, where their raw materials started lives as that from old car wrecks into something which is best described as a three-dimensional Abstract Expressionist (AbEx) forms.
The downside of using trash as raw materials is that they can be misinterpreted. Apparently, in 1973, two 300-pound metal pieces by Chamberlain were mistaken for junk and carted away as they sat outside a gallery warehouse in Chicago.
“My work has nothing to do with car wrecks,” he has said. “I believe common materials are the best materials.”
In line with my own deadyard photography series, however, I love these works. It is a bouquet made out of trash but one which is fantastic in every way. Crazyisgood.

Winter in Hong Kong is coming to and end, and the 農曆新年 Chinese New Year is quickly approaching (next week).
I can never really tell when the seasons begin using the Gregorian calendar (the de facto international standard) [1]. But as the name of the Chinese traditional calendar 農曆 (literally agricultural calendar) [2], it is very accurate in predicting when the seasons begin and end.
The flowers are starting to bloom. I am not very sure which one this is, but it looks like 桃花 [3] Peach flower [4] to me. I love peaches, but I love peach flowers even more.

Rainbow Teddy (RT) got super psyched this morning because @galexks sent some friends on Instagram for him to meet [1].
“These teddies are so cute. I wonder where they’re at. I want to meet them!” RT said. “I am bored to death being stuck with the social-phobe SML all the time. I _definitely_ need a social life.”
Ok, RT I will fly you on FedEx to meet some new people. For now just be patient. SML is working on the logistics for your first-class airfare right now.

The work by masters are easily observed by their decisive and reductive brush strokes. You don’t need the excessive marks to illustrate your intention.
Titled “Femme et oiseaux” or “Woman and birds” in English, Spanish painter Joan Miró painted this when he was 73 (1966), which is arguably the late stage of an artist’s life.
Miró’s flat and organic forms accented with color planes are a signature style of his paintings. He is generally considered a surrealist, though his work is very different than other surrealist artists like Dali. His abstract forms show some influence from Picasso, though his use of primary colors are unique.
He is one of my favorite artists of all times. Great works are simply that—great. It matters not whether they are popular or not.

# Joan Miró
Joan Miró i Ferrà (Catalan pronunciation: [ʒuˈam miˈɾo]) (April 20, 1893 – December 25, 1983) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born in Barcelona. A museum dedicated to his work, the Fundació Joan Miró, was established in his native city in 1975.
Earning international acclaim, his work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an "assassination of painting" in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting.

“Rainbow Teddy photographs 寧 Serenity”
Left. Utilizing the iPad as a large format view camera in the digital age, Rainbow Teddy positions the life-sized camera in front of his body and fiddles with the built-in camera app to photograph the beautiful scenery outside the windows of SML Universe.
Right. Recognizing that #Crazyisgood, Rainbow Teddy ordered his iPad from the Apple Store online mainly because it provides free engraving to every purchase.
