Macro photography

Finally bit the bullet and picked up the Canon 100mm Macro f/2.8 IS USM L. The damage comes to Rs.64,000. Got the local retailer to throw in a min tripod with the deal. I had to get cracking on it... you know the excitement that comes with a new lens! Took photos in the local residential park. The evening sun was right in the faces of the sunflowers and some bees went to work on them.

Macro photography is hard work. Despite sufficient light, I could not get a good shot very easily. Insects are tough subjects, but the most intriguing. Though I struggled in hand-held mode, it is best to carry a tripod for insect photography. Here goes-

Android sketchability

Can't ignore Android devices spewing out from the sewers these days. I tend to instantly download Sketchbook Pro or use the scribble software to see the screen response to drawing strokes. Have to tip my hat to iPhone here. The screen on Apple devices is far from sensitive than the Samsung screens. Anyway here are some random scribbles done on a Samsung Galaxy Grand.

Evil kid

Pull!

Time to go, sport.

Warrior, prepare.

Its one of those midnight sketches that make you go on and on till you fall asleep. This just had to be done. The ball pen with which this was done cost Rs. 5; so much for spending Rs.20,000 on a Wacom tablet!
