have you heard of 'gripotography'? well, here are some samples:

it was the morning of 30jan and i was playing with my two boys in the backyard... spotted the faucet... and it prompted me to experiment with some SUPER macro shots. opened it a bit to let some water drip from it but when i started shooting (in macro mode), the area is not very well 'lighted' yet so the fast shutter of 1/500 resulted with very dark/dim pics. aborted the experiment and waited... finally some time in the afternoon the sun was directly above the backyard and it was shining bright on the faucet! eureka!!! hence the pics :P
