@COOL
Nice attempt.. The second one is a well timed shot.
The last pic may look cool in b&w. Whats the original size? if its ok with you, i would like to try my hand on it as i am learning some new concepts about B&W PP.

Also.. i m home.. and unfortunately its a 2 months long holiday (never planned and never had such a long holiday )
Anyway.. was lurking in my garden to find something.. here's a shot..

There was also a photogenic insect, but my cam has a mind of its own and it refused to focus the insect no matter what i do... will try that again later!!

@INS-ANI - Thank you. I did try B&W treatment on the last one but it didn't appeal to me. The rusted iron bar is adding a more tender feel to the cat IMO. Sorry but I didn't got anything special in your picture. Which insect you wish to capture?

Chitwan: great images. 2nd and 3rd are best.
cool: nice images. I sold my sx110 is for Rs 10000.00 today.

ins-ani: try using macro focus mode/macro mode and read about the least focusing distance in macro mode in the manual.

@cool
is the image (3rd one) is cropped? i hoped there's more of it.
Also, the insect i was trying is a small (type of) moth, quite small in size.

@toofan: will try that tmr. But i am pretty sure there's no macro mode in my cam.

picture is just too small to work on it before it detoriates.for the same reason no pixel by pixel editing

yaah the mode dial....but dont pros feel uncomfortable having the most used thing on other hand...Anyway I was just excited

in this world of right handers

somehow good dslrs got designed by left handers (good for me

@toofan - So now that you have Rs.10K in your bank, what's lens do you plan to purchase?

@INS-ANI - The 3rd image isn't cropped. I framed it that way itself.
If the insect is so small then the camera won't be able to focus on it. Try on manual focus if your camera has. It should have macro mode for sure.

@Stuge - Nice editing but somehow I hate that vignetting effect. Doesn't goes well for me. Its like forcing the viewer to see in the centre of the frame.

anyway ,thats what I wanted to do. there's too much clutter in the image .

hmm for 10k he won't get anything other than 50mm 1.8 .I've told him plastic in that lens suck badly ,but for the image quality its an awesome piece of glass .

@toofan : what made you sell that cam ? there is no way dslr can take away the portability of point and shoot .I will anytime prefer Pns instead of camera phone even for general pictures .

 

[toofan]

Stuge: you had turned a simple looking good photo to a great looking master piece.

Cool: I think he had removed the distractions by just adding corner darkness and enhanced the look and feel of image by some contrast and vibranc.

bongourav: you have took both of the images in hard sunlight. try shooting them in evenings or mornings then see the effect of soft light on those subjects.

Excuse the image quality as it was shot with Nokia 5700 XM mobile phone which has a mediocre camera. Also the lighting conditions in the scene were too demanding for the tiny camera. I didn't take my camera with me that day & I so deep-fully regretted it later on.

 

[toofan]

cool looking good.
