Nokia N8 Tiny Creatures

Let me state up front, I'm no professional photographer. But I do enjoy trying to take semi decent pictures, and enjoy it all the more on my Nokia N8.

The mighty N8 has had to take a back seat recently though with the arrival of the 808 PureView, but until I can afford one of those beauties, I'll stick to my N8.

Anyway, I enjoyed the following post over at MyNokiaBlog by Jay Montano and tweeted today by @Nokia_UK :

I enjoyed it so much in fact, that I decided to collect together my pictures of 'tiny creatures' photos that I have taken on the N8 - not so much to provide any competition to the PureView shots, but more as a comparison.

So below, please find my version - "Collection: Tiny Creatures shot on My Nokia N8"


Frog: Standard Macro Setting on N8 (I don't know how to use the other settings!)



Bee: The flower was actually my main focus for this shot....


Ladybird1: Enjoying a nice bit of peace and quiet in a playground until we arrived.


Ladybird2: Standard Macro mode again, but this looks like 'Honey I shrunk the Kids" landscape...


Snail: OK so my focus is a bit dodgy, but this was the best of a bad bunch....


Flies: Once again, the flower was the main subject but the flies come out quite well too.


Dragonfly: Not a close-up, but the one I was most proud to catch! I was trying to set the Macro mode for a second attempt when it flew off....BAH!
