Macro's... The unnoticed beauty

Macro is a kind of photography which includes clicking the subject which are very small and most of the time not noticed or viewed at a very close distance (ex) eye of a house fly, reflections inside water bubble.

Few of my clicks.

This is a common jumping spider found in my home. The shoot for this guy was nearly 1 hour out of which i had clicked around 120 shots and got some 20 decent snaps. Patience heavily matters while doing macro of living and fast moving subjects, which this guy taught me.




























This is a click of the water droplets formed due to evaporation inside a Kinley water bottle.

It was a cloudy day and i was bored at my room thinking of what could be done. It was 2 days after i got my macro lens extension tube[device which is attached between the camera and lens, used for macro photography] from E-Bay and i was eager to test it. I was searching around a good subject for macro and found this interesting one.

It is great when you notice the unnoticed things and you admire its beauty.








Few more from the shoot.




It was a rainy day once and i was roaming around my garden to find some insects or spider, then i found this leaf with water droplets. This looked pleasant, when i went nearby and while i was gazing through my view finder i found an exuberant view of the below leaf.

The size of the leaf was about 4 cm's and the droplet size 3 mm. 



Spiders are a beautiful subject to be photographed. There are around 40000 spider species from 109 family [source: wikipedia].

This spider was found at my terrace with hot sun light passing through its body. The dots you find on its head are its eyes. Generally, all the spiders have eight eyes and it can look in all the 4 directions at the same time.


The below picture is the same shot of the above spider clicked without a macro tube. The size of the spider is only the size of a nail of your finger. The main care to be taken while shooting such small creatures is that, no harm should be made to the subject in an excitement.
