I had been waiting all the while to click a bee or a butterfly on a flower. And I got a bit lucky yesterday. It was tricky to get the focus right with the bee moving all around the place. And add to it the pain of getting the timing right. I lost the count of shots where I mistimed or mis focused but ended up with a much better snap. That’s the one above, shot mid-day and handheld.

Nandi hills is a pleasant get-away destination near Bangalore city. I was on my way to top from the foothill when I used a slow shutter to capture motion along the winding roads. I wanted a crisp image but to hold the camera still in the moving car was really tricky. I took a couple of shots but couldn't make a clear capture.

I liked the way this picture conveys depth with a sense of motion.

There is a beauty that exists at macro level and we rarely get to see it. For some people, ants are one of life's most successful societies and I too feel the same way. They plan ahead, work diligently and keep things simple. There's nothing to do but watch, learn and enjoy!

I like the idea of doing macro photography. You can create some cool photographs of common things you have at home. Add to that, the comfort of being indoor.
