Anyway, I will try out your suggestion. Feel free to criticize my pics brother, your comments and critics really helps me to click better pics next time.




You've got brilliant stuffs there brother. Personally, i liked the first one.I wish that you had captured the wing of the last butterfly. Never mind, the details there are mind-blowing. Both the pictures are really colorful too.

Needless to say, the floral abstract(?)looks awesome.Correct me if i'm wrong.

Thanks Amith. I know my suggestion might not work as you need to get really close. Hmm, any other way of getting even closer? I have some crazy ideas, but that will decrease the IQ a bit :(.

Thanks buddy.

My single strobe experiments have begun. Flash in full power on the right, 2 meters away from the camera. 35mm, f/1.8, 1/30 secs, strangely ISO details are missing in the exif data for the complete set, its very weird !

Thank you Samurai San. Yep, have been trying to emulate his style and then see where I can take it from there. Personally, I'd have liked the flower to be a bit more fresh (need to choose the subject carefully next time) and the focal plane to be more conspicuous. But I am happy that you stopped by and commented, made my day.

nice shot, but looks artificial. palm should not be facing forward while walking. it should be inward.

Beautiful click brother. The rainbow looks awesome. I have not yet got a chance to photograph a rainbow. So, it's one of my dream shots.

Nice snaps JkDas. I liked the sky there.

Nice composition, the title goes well with the image.

Started a small travelogue to walk you through life in that 2 days. Off course some snaps will also follow from next post.

Visit my travelogue.

Here is one of my catches during the trip, my 500th post in TBHP. I am shocked to see Samurai san reaching around 10K posts, but yes its a milestone for me.

You've got nice snaps there brother.I liked the The bokeh in the key shot. The bubbles in the 3rd pic looks awesome too.

Awesome macro shot HW! Excellent details. Btw, can you please share those crazy ideas with me?

@ Klub Class , Thanks. Yes the left wing was damaged. I was very difficult to capture, as it was not sitting any one place.
About your current shot, I think a little cropping would have made it even more beautiful. Nice shot.

Thanks, good to know you liked it. I use my almost 4 year old 5.1MP Fuji Finepix S5600. Would upgrade only when it dies or when I get some huge money which may not happen in near future .
