@Sujoyp & romeo: Thanks for comments
@Sujoyp : Dude, How can I take an insect? Give me some tips. I tried, but they fly away before I/the camera is stablized
BTW I use canon powershot sx130is.
@kjuvale: Dude, thats a heck of a shot - one of the awesome I saw. Wish I will take like that one day

lol.. haha.. dude.. go for NON flying insects.. try spiders or ants etc..

 

[sujoyp]

@anish...yes try ants,spiders etc ....u maybe trying it on fly...even mosquito dont fly away easily

 

[nac]

Abi, Edited one is much better...

Kjuvale, Awesome snaps...

Sujoy, I tried looking for GND filter for my cam. I don't even know whether it's available for my compact. I tried to do that effect in gimp. And here it is...

May be little extra lightness now, but some how figured it out...

Anish,
Set the focus to macro and try to put your camera as close as possible. Spider, house flies... don't get scared all the time. You can very well click them. Few things are hard to capture, like butterfly.

One more snap...

@nac ur bird pic is good...

u have not used the GND option correctly it seems...GND is used to get the sky underexposed a bit so that it comes blue and clouds come clear rather then sky becoming white...
but what u did is kept the sky same and brighten the ground

I am not expert in this but I have edited the pic and it should work like that

@nac @sujoyp: thanx guys...but everyone here is posting edited pics?

 

[arian29]

lovely shot there @nac.. the bird line..

 

[kjuvale]

@all :thanks for comments.
@Nac: nice shots, second shot looks little overexposed (ground), Sujay's edit looks better.
I will suggest to use Lightroom , you have much better options to edit photos.
@abhidev: i guess many people edit pictures. I shoot in raw and have to edit them first using lightroom.

here is my try for food photography

[sujoyp]

@abhidev ...yes I edit most of my pics , crop them, change exposure, set the tilting is any,change saturation etc.. dont overdo anything coz it reflect on the pic, but upto a limit editing is fine

@kapil food looks yummy..is it a setup or direct shot.

i want to eat some.
Very good shot but a little blur correction is required on the lower front portion of the tray.

 

[kjuvale]

@Sujoy: thanks, it was taken with whitebox setup.
@dingdong: thanks for comment, that's not really a blur, I have used maximum aperture (1.8) for this shot causing bokeh on front and back. Maybe i could have used lower aperture.

 

[nac]

Sujoy, Yours is better. I thought since the original was taken in -ive exposure, I kept the sky portion as it is and edited the bottom half.

Kjuvale, I don't remember, if I am right this is the first photo I am seeing a non-landscape work from you.

Abhi, Initially, I was posting as-is snaps. Later as suggested, I started editing with MS Picture manager and later Gimp. As Sujoy said, picture won't look good if we edit too much. This a sample of it...

[abhidev]

^ yea but i didn't edit them coz I wanted the pics as natural as they are....basically i didn't wanted the tag 'Photoshoped hai' thats all

 

[sujoyp]

abhidev bhai we IT guys know that but those facebook people dont...they will say wow kya superb kheencha hai...and not photoshopped hai...thats the reason i told u dont overdo it...thoda sa chalta hai

They too have legs dude...
But I must admit spiders are patient than ants coz, they wait for long to finish my satisfying shot.
Here is a shot of a spider which is the size of a rice.
Please comment whether my cam could take nicer than this or is this its capacity? (canon powershot sx130is p&s)
