Thanks a lot! Its always tough to find the time.. before my trip last week, I hadnt taken any photos in almost 2-3 months!

Its not cheap either.. a decent SLR's cost $$$, not to mention the lenses :S

Yeah, I know a few amateur photographers and their gear is more than 2000$ and that's just the stuff I know about. They all say it's worth the money when you get that perfect shot though. I guess when it's a passion, price doesn't matter... nor do I believe it should.

This is one of my first pictures.. its a bit grainy because of heavy PP.

Some from last year:

One of my favs

 

[vg4030]

These 2 were done using a 'reverse lens' technique.. Kinda cool way of doing close up shots without buying an expensive macro lens

When Im done PP'ing my India pics Ill post them in a separate thread..

The one with the butterfly and flower buds is great. I love the colours.

^Thanks!
Most of those were take at the Detroit Zoo, apart from the fly one... I caught it on my patio and put it on a cardboard box to take the pics.. it was very cooperative lol
