Garden by the Bay, 4th

Sharing some macro photos taken at Garden by the Bay. Today supposed to be Oaks Training macro photography outing at Admiralty Park with our participants, but unfortunately it was raining very heavy. Since I'm the leader, I've to take responsibility to come to the meeting area which is at Woodland MRT (even it is raining cats and dogs) to wait for the rest of the participants and hoping the rain will stop. But it ended up cancelling the outing because the rain doesn't stop.

Luckily the heavy rain doesn't stop my two colleagues, Yin Leng and Sherie from coming to Woodland MRT. I've to THANKS them from being supportive even it was raining so heavy. Since we're already out from home with our photography gears, we don't want the day to be wasted. So we decided to take a train to Garden by the Bay (since the place is being sheltered) to take flowers and plants. I also take this opportunity to test my custom diffuser, version 3.
