Bharat: good one. ;D

Kaluan: thanks friend.  I made this shot with Nikkor 50mm 1.8 lens.

For those who do not have Photoshop (or don't wanna get into it), some nice freeware alternatives are: Paint.net and Gimp. While Paint.net is very similar to PhotoShop in it's appearance and easy enough to use, Gimp can appear to be very daunting at the beginning.

When converting images for posting in forums/galleries, I use Google Picasa a lot. It can be configured to save to a predetermine filesize and features adjustable quality. Saving the images in reduced size is as easy as selecting the ones you want and clicking on the 'Export' button at the bottom.

i use picassa too...just for reducing file size and quality...found it a bit easier..

I have no idea of Picasa I uploaded some images long time ago and lost them for ever.

Also a bump for encouraging the use of low resolution/size files.

another bump for new bies. Please maintain the image size of your images.

another bump. Just to make it easy for me to find. :)

Very well captured image Vimal.  I'm keen to know about the lens.
You have outlined a very useful topic for beginners who upload heavy files.

There is an online alternative for people who do not have Photoshop: Yahoo's Smush.it -> http://smush.it

Vimal Sir,

   I too have a Nikkor 50mm f1.8 lens.. but I could never capture something like this... I just want to know how close you went to the subject.. and is the image a cropped one? I was wondering how could an insect be so steady for such a long time??
Please enlighten me!!
