Confessions of an amateur photographer

Ok, so here go my first few attempts at photography.



This is one of the tricks I have been wanting to do for years :) . It is easy to achieve in an SLR by simply increasing the aperture time. But in my cam (Nikon 120), I achieved it by setting the camera for night mode photography. The aperture does open for a longer duration, however precise control over it is something I still miss.







I used the Digital Macro mode available in my camera for this image, which thus renders an enlarged and clear image of the center drop while keeping the background out of focus.
 The Macro mode opens a whole new world of photography subjects to be explored, some of which can be seen below.







Rose thorns. Notice the joints of the thorns with the stem.








This is one of my favorites. The subject was a dead bug, I found in the garden. Notice its broken eye and sticky hair on its limbs and thorax.





A group of ants. Some of their feet aren't clearly visible because they were moving.






                                                                                                        





This pic was taken after the rain.
The water drops add freshness to the image and the flower bud gives composure and balance to the colors blah blah blah.
The conclusion is that it is a good image and is currently my wallpaper :)









Nature photography:

You can see a beak and an eye of a bird poking out of its nest. I don't know which type of bird it is, but it worked very hard to build itself a nice, green nest on one of the mango trees.







A beautiful rose.
Nothing to say here.


















A nice silhouette.
A crow perched on a transmission line.



























reminds me of a wallpaper that used to come with Windows-98.
But this one is more vibrant and is shot by me!









Icon of CS1.6. You can easily see each pixel on the laptop screen showing different colours by varying the RGB values.





So, these were some of my pics from my still new camera. Hope u like them.
