Here are some Macros I took today:
While taking macros, I learned one thing today:
You need patience: Loads of it.

^^AWSOME PICS!
Can we click pics like this with a mobile camera

 

[marvelousprashant]

@serpent : Depends on the mobile. With the N8 yes... With the 808 better than these...
Android cams lack detail and you'll see lots of noise in crops

Your 2nd pic is nice

@anish nice pics but why are last two in sepia.

@sujoyp Thanks

 

[Anish]

@Serpent16: Thankyou dude.. But I dont know whether those pics can be taken from a cellphone coz I dont have one
@marvelousprashant: Thankyou. The last two are in sepia coz, i took it in that mode in camera. In camera settings->my colors-> sepia.
BTW, none of the pics are edited except cropping.
And I wonder how can my cam take these shots.. It has been sleeping since a year!!! I didnt know this before a year! and I thought macro was owned by slr cameras! foolish thought

Anish, Wonderful macro. I never able to capture ants, they were always too busy running.

Abhi, Even though it's too much colour, I like it.

your last two photos were quite good. For this one i would say nice attempt.Edited one looks better.

Btw thanks everyone for the suggestions.

and yes the third picture is also my favourite.Even the last one is ok i think.

@marvelousprashant your suggestions are welcome anytime.
Anyways for the first two pics i tried adding contrast but i found this one better.More contrast was making the shore and the sea completely black.

For the last pic they are not coloured because the colour lacked the depth.Thats why i converted them into b/w.

 

[sujoyp]

@anish good macros...u r learning fast ...and dont try sepia and b&W with macros coz macros r liked for its colors and designs

@abhidev the blue sky is edited too much and not looking real at all

 

[marvelousprashant]

@abhidev I guess you are trying to create HDRish photos... Don't add so much color... It looks artificial

Tried to create some background bokeh?

@nac @quanchi : thanx guys....

@sujoyp @marvelousprashant : hmmm...thanx for the suggestion guys...actually I liked the blue color of the sky.....will try to edit that pic again with less color this time....also whats HDrish?

 

[Anish]

Anish, Wonderful macro. I never able to capture ants, they were always too busy running.

Thankyou dude. Hmm that ant.. It was just standing on that seed on our stone bench... you wont believe, it was just standing there for at-least half an hour and went only when i disturbed it!
The shot which tested my patience was that spider (small one focused on eye)
Know what? Its damn active! It posed well for a head shot. When I click the shutter, it vanishes and was not in the image and its clinging to the cam lens. It was doing it at-least 10 times. So, I got frustrated and can only take sideways

And your last shot is beautifully composed.!

@anish good macros...u r learning fast ...and dont try sepia and b&W with macros coz macros r liked for its colors and designs

Thanks for the suggestion dude...

 

[abhidev]
