I was just walking around my house and I just came across this spider which seemed to amaze me. It was clung on its web, which too looked wonderful. Took some photos of this spider, each one from different angle and some in black and white.

Shoot colors like Canon!

I just love Canon SLRs for their colors, they are just splendid when it comes to colors. I am currently using a Nikon SLR but I wanted to shoot colors like Canon SLRs. After spending hours searching on Google I got a simple solution.

That simple solution was to turn your camera to Landscape Mode. This enables the camera to take stunning pictures with bright, vivid and exciting colors. I tried this and got good results. These are some of the images taken by this method.

This is just a simple solution. If I come to know about new and still better method, I'll do let you know! Thanks for reading.
