Dragonfly leg hairs... and much more 808 macro

Published by at

I don't 'Flow' everything that's also featured on the PureView Club site, but this photo set is just mind-boggling. Nature-focussed, have a look at the photo below and then tell me you're not also staggered. Not only getting the dragonfly in perfect 'bokeh', but so precisely focussed that you can see every hair on the dragonfly's legs. Stunning.

From the PureView Club post:

These pictures are from Afaq Saied from India and I believe them to be totallly irresistable. Below you will find a selection, here is his complete Nokia 808 photostream on Flickr, where you can find the original sizes as well.

Great work, Afaq. Look out for a detailed tutorial here soon on how to get the perfect macro shot, but in short - work at around 30cm and use the PureView zoom facility to get 'closer'. Make sure the light's good and think about using the Creative mode's 'Vivid' if appropriate.
