Taking example of your 1st image, the trees and grounds are black (underexposed). In a HDR image underexposed and overexposed areas dont exist. That is why images are taken at multiple exposures so that each part of scene is well exposed. Then they are merged... under- and overexposed areas from each image is filtered out. As there are no shadows or dark regions in HDR image, it has "that glow" responsible for "WTF AMAZING!" comments from whoever sees that photo. HDR images in their true sense look unreal... like video games

Dont see my images for reference... they are ugly. Use google.

About that HDR concept, I know it but I never liked that horror-movie-background kinda images.

To reduce that effect got compromised on the whole HDR effect. But, I actually got what I wanted to capture. The vibrant colors of the sky at sunset.

Thanks for your comments.

@marvelousprashant i used photomatrix to merge them (some "painterly effect) but that one was pale so i raised exposure so it got noisy,u r last one is really nice i love that texture formed by clouds that extends forwards.

@nac i have a fat convex lense(abt 40mm focal length) i used it as a simple microscope(aka magnifier) n zoom the camera 2wards subject to get desired proximity n all this at 30mm or little more distance

just some random clicks,(i put the last one to give an idea of amount of magnification)
all socs

real problem comes when there is breeze n the subject just bounces in the screen like anything:twisted:

@rhitwick i love the colour of sky especially 2nd one .

Yup...but with good gears its really easy like suppose u have a Tamron 90mm with a tripod having focus rail and ring flash around ur lens :D

but when u have to compromise it need lot of patience ...coz insects mostly fly/run away :D

Coz it's not a stabilized lens ;)

Sujoy,
Thanks for the info...
Even in my cam, using flash for macro would leave a shadow (of lens hood) in the image. I thought how would DSLR users do that, as their lens are much bigger and most likely they would too leave shadows...

Flash like this (flash in lens) would be very good for macros. This is the first time I am hearing about it... Thank you...

Prashant,
These are much closer than your previous macros. Good....

Subha,
Last one is wonderful... Did you take any bracketed shots? If so, post some HDR images of Taj.

2nd is little tilted and first one's foreground is underexposed and the images is little darker...

^ 1k, :D No, I can't afford that much... May be I will spend for flash when someone gift me a DSLR ;)

Now I saving up for a cheap tripod. Earlier I thought table tripod would do, now I am thinking of a tripod with operational height of about 5'.

Nice shots everyone :)
BTW I took out my camera after almost two months and clicked a few during a trip to Tirupathi.

Sujoy,
Wow!
1 - Neat and nice.
2 - Perfect (lacking 1's blue sky)
3 - Hmmm... I would like colour one.
4 - I don't know... I think I don't have eye for these kinda shot. May be coz it shot at (or seems like) wide end.

Harsha,
Nice and 3rd one is the best in the lot.
What's there in the first three images (what to call that??? ghost??? kinda finger prints on the lens)
