00:00It's not necessary to have fancy equipment and go far.

00:26I had given my camera to him and he started clicking photos and one of them happened

00:33to be my photo and the way he was clicking I was very happy and probably that is one

00:40of my best photo taken ever.

00:48I got inspired by my father.

00:50He was the category winner of amphibians and reptiles in 2014 in wildlife photographer

00:55of the year.

01:06Macro photography is the photography of small animals or insects.

01:11You find subjects everywhere wherever you go.

01:13Even in our house garden there are many insects which I like to capture or even in patterns

01:20of the leaves and all.

01:23I was naturally fascinated by animals.

01:25I still like animals.

01:31On the first when I was preparing my mother was telling me like you are not the winner

01:37just to like make me think like surprised to get the expression.

01:50I prepared for only the first question.

01:53And the next time he told the question I was like what should I say what should I say.

01:58I thought that maybe he could be the winner but so that he doesn't get disappointed I

02:03used to tell chances are very low chances are really low for you to win.

02:07I was surprised for him when the anchor called out his name and he was like really but I

02:15was telling I wouldn't win right.

02:21One day we went to a park the park where I captured it.

02:26So the park was closed.

02:27So we went to the front where they had written Kannada letters out of scrap car materials.

02:35So in one letter we spotted this tent spider.

02:40So I set up my tripod there because it was a stationary subject and put my camera.

02:47So my father used to stand left means right of me and he was taller so he used to say

02:54whenever a vehicle was approaching and which color it was.

02:57So I used to be ready seeing inside the viewfinder is a vehicle coming when the vehicle came

03:02I used to click lot of images of it and then when I saw it most of them were out of focus

03:07because the web shook every time a vehicle passed passed by.

03:11So this was the best image of the day.

03:18No one should be scared of spiders when they are in India.

03:21So they are all good creatures because they eat the insects which harm us.

03:31Try all the angles.

03:32The most uncomfortable ones are the best angles and always search for subjects around you

03:40and always try new things like new settings, new lighting, like that.
