Recently a friend of my gave me a gift , a camera. Something I always wanted. A good camera with a telephoto lens . Its a Canon photo shot SX10 IS, A great camera for a beginner. I always wanted to take photos of Nature and wild life. Now I'm learning Photography.
I wanted to post them here to share with other members and also to get comments and advice.
A kingfisher. Near my house, he was sitting on a wire. Red back gound is a wall. I wish he was on tree so photo would have an value. But the photo came out nicely I think.
--
My first buttefly photography. This guy didn't mind about i was coming near to him
A squirrel. He was trying carry a piece of cloth which bigger than him self.
A kite. he was sitting on an antenna. early morning and kind of far way. This is one of my first brid photos. I don't think he liked me taking photos of him. lol It must take a good eye to spot all these animals to take these pictures. I don't even think any birds that are as interesting as the kingfisher live anywhere near where I live. The only real critique I can make is that the kite is framed oddly.
Thanks Magicman, You are right sometimes we woudn't notice what we have around us unless we pay attention to those. Well about the kite, problem was he was far away from me and I was not used to the camera. here's same guy after few days. It was around 6.30 a.m so not much light also antenna was far away from me,
2 more photos,

Thanks man. Since you like the squirrel photo I thought to post this one. Well thats confrontaion between a squirrel and garden lizard. It was totally hilarious to watch since both refused to back away. The squirrel was screaming at top of his voice and lizard was shaking his head !
wow great foto!
It was a funny moment, right?

Yup it was.
Here's another 2 photos I took few days ago. I was trying to get few macro photos. Well I was in Auto mode so camera decided light is enough so Flash refused to work. If flash work those would had been better. I have to learn manual setting of my camera ...
A spider eating a mosquito. Photo was not that sharp but just with a point and shoot camera with its inbuilt flash and a small macro lens you can't ask for more. Also these spiders and shy lol then stay under tree leaves most of the time.
Brilliant shots! Really inspiring.
Like others, my favourite photo was the macro shot of the ant. Which is just pure awesome.
Great work. 
Thanks. Yeah That photo is one of the best have done yet. I'm still learning about all this macro thing.
yeah the ant ist he best, but the latest ones, are also really good! I like them as well!
great shot
always want to do some photography, I just need to buy a good camera, although I'm reluctant since I camera phone is pretty good, but I won't capture anything like you have
yes, something we are blind to the beauty surrounds us
Yes they are very nice, and the macro images are nicely focused and detailed...well done!!! some really nice photography here, love the subject matter and also your composition is really good. You captured some really nice moments here my friend.
Top notch photos, just excellent. The macros are amongst the best I've seen with great detail. Keep up the great work! Awesome! I love em, mostly the third one 
check out his skin! 
Anyway GJ! Another one which seems pretty colorful.
Great photos i especially like the one where the bird attempts the shelter the other bird on the branch using its wings.
nice shot, very vibrant and i love the bokeh on it
I don't really know much about photography but the second one looks great, but some of them look a bit low quality, try getting a better camera
your last shot is really amazing!
Trying to take good photo of this guy.
This spidy was like 3 inches big !
Hmm finally I got my own flickr album working.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/25180238@N07/ Some very nice photos taken here. You are very good at focusing in on your main point.
You should get yourself a website and host your personal portfolio.
Keep up the good work!
Whatch out, sometimes you get too much light (in my opinion).
In spite of this, your photos are really good one (without the fourth one ).
Great job Superb pictures my friend, and thank you for sharing them.
Where in the world are you?
There are some beautiful colours, and these creatures look very exotic.
Thanks everyone !
@ Ghost Rider103 : Thanks. I'm developing a website for photos these days. Also ve started putting them in Flickr >> http://www.flickr.com/photos/dudexyx/
@ Sachi : I don't have a external flash so I'm using the inbuilt one so sometimes it's bit hard to control.
@ wellerchap : Thanks !
Here are two more macro photos of ants !
I had to crop this one a bit to get the best out of it. ( above )
Your's photo are very interesting. I like it very much. Thanks lysiutki.
Here's another photo.
Love the close ups of the ant, and also the other insects or bugs. I just didn't the ones with the pink background, the original background would have been better.
All these photos have original backgrounds. Pink background has happened coz of a building in background. simply amazing work, my friend. great job!
Hey Dudexyx, your photos are really nice and very professional looking.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Menino ! Here's another photo of Kingfisher.
You certainly are a natural! I've never truly tried my hand at true photography. I've just always snapped pictures of me and my friends. All I know is, I really love the composition of all your photos. The overall style of them appears to be professional. So to you, I say congratulations on such great photos!

love this shot i had a cool shot of a dragonfly also, some of them stay still for the shot and most of them just fly off when they see you. Great shot though one of my favs from you!Truly amazing!
How do you do it? Do you just walk around with your camera or do you spot a specific location where you wait for things to happen?
Definitely a fan of the kingfisher photo. Good angle to see the beak from. I'm fond of birds. Random cool bird: http://gallery.photo.net/photo/5387439-lg.jpg
