Borat with his LightSaber

Posted by Shiva (Kajang, Malaysia) on 17 March 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Yeah.. guys.. introducing the real BORAT! Met him at my fathers flower garden the other day and he gave me a few poses for his portrait.In this one.. hedecided to do a jedi shot with a lightsaber ( tip of the flower bud really) So he liked this one. Very stylish and elegant according to him.

Whaddaya guys think?

Hi guys!, After contemplating for so long, I have finally decided to put out my images for sale in my own photo sales site. Please visit http://www.e-ttl.com to view the site and if you see anything you like, let me know. This is a " Truly Malaysian" site that sells images from Malaysia.

So, I officially pronounce my site open for sales!! Thousands of thanks to aminus3 members and web owners to be a good friend and a true compatriot in photography to all budding photographers to be able to display their works in a blog format for free. I truly salute the aminus3 team for being very kind and humane to all of us. I wish you all the greatest of success.

Thank you.

Thanks Guys for commenting on Borat and His Lightsaber. The Fly is just slightly bigger than the tip of the flower bud he is sitting on. I was actually suprised at his friendliness. Didnt budge even when i am 6 inches away from him!

There is a few more macros coming up these few days for you guys to see. Hope you enjoyed as much as I did!
