I was out on my veranda drinking coffee and noticed this small fella on the leaf and took some pics.
It's the standard lens(nikon D40) and flash since i dont have tripod yet!
But i like the pics and want to know what you guys think?

I think it looks great! My only gripe would be that the flash makes the light awfully harsh.

 

Nice,But I agree with JDS about the flash...

 

Yes i know,but i dont have the equipment to get these pics as you other guys gets:blushing:

I love the coloring!

 

You have sharpness issues in quite a few of them, but overall they look pretty nice.

 

Thanks guys!
Is it to sharp?..i havent done any sharpening at all on these pics.

 

the flash really did no good. but still nice
.

did you ever try using cheap torches to illuminate? also you could diffuse your flash a bit or use it with indirect light ... not that i am an expert though

 

Hmm..i think i will have to defuse the flash a little with a paper tissue or something.Thanks i will try that.

 

Okey,now i used a paper tissue to difuse the flash.
Here is one pic,but more coming Asap!
What do ya think of this one?
