Drops in Cable Wire.

This cable wire goes from my Doordarshan Antena to The Next House. I zoomed full and then focused the water drops in the wire.

Cool thanks for your valuable true critics.
Actually I didn't did anything special in that Image. I just increased the contrast in it and added a border. This shot comes all natural.

In this Image I get attracted by the bold colors of the leaves in Fog. Its all misty these days in North India. Critics and comments welcome.

Thanks Stuge for the Information. What this 10 mm means. Which lense.

@toffan :its taken with my Wide angle 10-24mm lens @10mm .Some people call 10mm to be semi-fish eye due to barrel distortion(though its a not a actually fish eye lens ).A true fish eye captures 180 deg of area though .

10 is equivalent to 15mm on 35mm format or full frame format :)

I haven't seen point and shoot going wider than 27.5mm (Fujifilm one ) .Many Good canon pns are 28mm wide .

10-24 mm lens are very costly. You lucky & wealthy man.:-D

Thanks for the Information. One dought I had always. How to convert any focal length equivalent to 35mm. I know that a full frame camera is a 35 mm film size. Am I right?
Please throw some light on this also.

@toofan - Now the second image is good as it atleast gives the feel of a chilly morning. I love such weather.
The cable gives me a feeling of a ropeway down to the another building. Maybe a small ropeway for ants :D

@Toofan - How is this? Upon seeing your image I recollected that I too shot a image of water drops on a cable though from a different perspective as the cable was not close by me. The shot was taken using full 10x zoom on my camera.

@ we're infected with wire abstracts these days on thinkdigit :p :D

For APS-C sensor multiply the focal length with 1.5 for nikon and 1.6 or Canon.

Stuge: Great Images.

Cool: Full zoom has done the trick. It has blurred the background. I too used the full 10x zoom in my cable wire shot in fog.
But for enhancing the effect of image there should be something else in the image to compliment the water drops or some changed angle.( but you cant do that everytime as cables are tied high up.)

Spider In my Book shelve.

Its very tricky for my camera to take this Macro shot. Due to low lightning conditions.
When I was using the flash its washing away the image. without flash its too dark. So I wrapped the bubble polythene packaging of my webcam over the flash and made a home made diffuser. And this works for me.
But whenever my camera was too close to the spider the shadow of camera lens is visible in the lower side of Image. But I got the shot.
The spider might be sleeping because he didn't moved during the whole shootout.:))

@stuge - I thought so as it would be very difficult to get someone to stand still for so long. :razz: Though very nice image as always.

@toofan - Not only 10x zoom worked but manual focus too. Autofocus was not able to lock on the thin cable. :D

@rhitwick - This one is for you :)
