Common Leopard by Siew Bee Lim

It was on a fine day, the sun was quite high in the sky. I was in a small park, looking for butterfly to photograph. After shooting the lesser grass blue, I proceed to another area, whereby flower and vegetables were planted. There was no butterfly around the flowers. On the nearby roadside I saw this common leopard, also known as spotted rustic (Phalanta phalantha).

Photographer: Siew Bee Lim (Singapore) Registered
Born in 1965 in Singapore, photography was one of the old hobbies of Siew Bee Lim. Now she would like to learn it formally via Light & Composition platform as she believes it’s not too late. Since primary school she is not good in drawing; she doesn’t have artistic hand that some of her classmates have. Nonetheless, she likes reading since young, and would try to appreciate Chinese paintings. Few years after she started working as a Programmer, she took up photography as a hobby. She attended a short course which included a session in the darkroom. In those days, good photographs were dependent on good darkroom skills. It was unlikely that she spent much time in the darkroom. Hence the hobby didn’t last long then. She believes that the present learning experience has a longer way to go.
