and some macro shots

macro photography always interests me but it's hard to find the right stuff to shoot. especially when it comes to nature, you'll have to deal with tiny creepy insects which is really hard for a guy like me who can't get over insect phobia.









got few shots here. i know some are cliche but.. well enjoy.
some d80- some d90

keep your shots cleaner than your camera

are you one of those photoshop haters? well you came to right place coz i prefer paint shop pro ^^
jokes aside, there are some ways to take your shots from good to awesome. so are you kind of a person who presents his shots without any post-production or even without any quick photoshop edits whatsoever? well if so, that sucks imo.

iam sure cleaning some unnecessary stuff from your shots wouldn't kill ya. i myself still not great at cleaning up but i usually create whats enuf for me.

check out some shots i got. (after and before cleaning) looks a bit better. wudn't you agree?


sigma 70-200 f2.8 @ f2.8 200mm, iso400 1/200

  it's not that great but still makes your target pop! some clone brushes, usual stuff and extra DOF effect thats all  


sigma 70mm macro f2.8 @ f2.8 iso100, 1/2500

clone brush and usual stuff thats all.

cudn't resist. fish tank 20lt water and sunlight with some reflectors, no fancy stuff.


don't slack and go clean some of your photos. they might look a lot better once you show proper care. peace.
