some macros from around the house. I have always been fascinated with their wing flap pattern but it was too dark to capture that in high speed. Hopefully next time.

@Clevermax: Seems like you have good wide angle lense, photos coming out is really amazing. No doubt it requires photography skill as well

. What lense it is?

This was shot in Gir, in case you had forgotten Shaju.

Umm, You wanted the light to be softer? The light is a little harsh IMHO.

Pretty nice, I like the first one.

Alright guys, I need a big big favor from all of you. I was part of the world wide photo walk that happened on saturday (24th july), more info here
Scott Kelby's Third Annual | Worldwide Photo Walk

So, here's the thing, I am supposed to be submit one photograph for the competition and I have two which I think are pretty nice. Can't decide between the two, can you guys please tell me which one you like, so that I can submit the one with the most votes? Thanks in advance!

gd1418 · 25th July 2010, 20:26

My vote goes to the man.. It has character & life in it.

Yes, I could have tested a lower powered flash too, need to do that soon.
My vote for the 'Man', hope your walk was enjoyable with 50 people around, or was it more than that ? I was hoping for the waiting list to approve me, but there was no luck !! Next time, please let me know before time, although I am not very keen on walking with a group

!

Water lilly from our previous Sunday walk !

Pawan, it is my humble 18-70 kit lens, as pramod told.

No prizes for guessing the place! Taken today.
