Interesting Birdy ...

Ahh this one (the last one from me for now on the Sony DSC-T500 Macro mode) was a surprise! I got this snap through a window (ie. the tinted glass of the window was between my camera and the bird). I really love what these "Out of the pocket" cameras can do! I will take my Canon SLR across to Mysore on my next trip and try and shoot a few comparative snaps to see the difference!

This particular bird was quite an interesting one. It insisted on coming over to closed window and pecking on the glass. I think it really fancied its own look in the dark window and was challenging the image to a fight! I never flew into an open window, but did spend a lot of time pecking at closed windows! I am sure it sensed my presence, because everytime i got my camera and ran upto the window to take a close up of its pecking, it would just fly away! :-(

HOT! DSC-T500 Macro Mode!

Ahhh! I couldnt resist this. I was so happy with the macro mode (close up enabled) on the Sony DSC-T500 that i had to take this snap of a rather ripe chilli! It does look quite hot (both the ripe red one and the green one behind it)!

Spider's "nest"

And this is a side-on view of the same spider's "nest". I cant really call it a "web", as you can see from this snap - it is very very more elaborate than a bog-standard web! Wow. This guy/gal has built a lovely passage into an inner chamber! Just look at the ingenuity and complexity! Superb. I am in awe of this spider.

Macro Mode on my Sony DSC-T500

I spotted a little "nest" that a wood spider had built on a mound! The first time i have seen one of these this close. So i whipped out my DSC-T500, turned on the Macro mode and took some close ups (i actually held the camera so close that the spider knew i was there and even crawled back in to its nest). The quality of the snaps was superb! I am maha khush with it!
