The "macro" weekend

The weekend was a nice one with most roads empty with people thronging temples and busy with the festivities of Dussehra.
Made me think about my shots and thought I would get some of them printed out. Somehow prints capture your attention a LOT more than just digital frames. In order to maximize the number of frames I was gonna print, I went about clicking a few "macros" which could be print worthy

And that brought about a whole lotta ops and photos from the weekend. Some here -

Lotsa critters

Water striders (taken with the Tamron 90, qualifies as a macro? ;) )


Damselfly


Love those eye spots on this beautiful one. Pretty awesome strategy confusin the predators on the attack!




Tiny grasshopper


Ants




Some unconventional perches ;)

Jewel bug




Flowers, no matter how cliched; retain their beauty and capturing that has always been a challenge all photogs strive for :)
Attempted some








And the parting shot


Intend to get some large prints done this weekend, and hopefully enthuse more!

Cheers,
Hayath
