More shots of the things I found during the night time at our camp

The next day we woke up early and prepare ourselves for our Odonata collection in a nearby stream that comes from a mountain next to our camp. This will be a whole day walk to the upstream on rocky walls mixed with waterfalls so I would have to forget about bringing my big homemade diffuser and turns to my "emergency" Home made diffuser instead which is a lot smaller and no worries if it is broken in the forest. I also leave some lens behind because it will be such a pain to carry everything while climbing onto wet walls, all I took was the heavy 100-400mm and 50mm lenses with external flash (Plus lunch!)...also just forget about carrying a Tripod.
The whole day was very good, not too hot as the clouds were around most of the time covering us from the sun as we walked through an old abandoned logging road to our target stream.

As we reached the most upper part of the stream it was all rock walls and small waterfalls about 10 - 20 meters high. While our friends were catching dragonflies and damselflies (or Odonata) my task was to find us a route to the top of the waterfalls...and it was series of waterfalls with some reaching up to 30 meters.
Due to the heavy work and my hands were used to kept me holding on to tree roots and rocks most of the time I was only able to take few shots of things I found along the way.

| Coeliccia sp. |
 |
| Neurobasis longipes (Flash Wing) |
 |
| An unknown Limnonectes sp. |
 |
| Euphaea subcostalis | |
 |
| Camacina gigantea |
After climbing more than 300 meters (very difficult climb!) from where our camp was we turned back and head to our camp as it was already late 4.00 pm. I don't have anymore energy to take out my camera for anything after that tiring journey and just enjoy my dinner then have some small chat with all of the team before heading to sleep. I leave the camp the next day.
Here are some shot of our temporary camp...a nice place to visit with cool clean stream next to it.

That's it for now. Until the next photography adventure comes, thanks for viewing.
