Collection: Tiny Creatures shot on Nokia 808 PureView
Here’s a collection of tiny creatures captured with the Nokia 808 PureView. Using the PureView class zoom, you get closer to your subjects without physically intruding in their space and scaring them away. You don’t lose quality (that you would otherwise lose if you tried to zoom in post production). The zoom is quick and noise free, and the AF can handle getting focus on your close up subjects.

Apparently some stabilisation from youtube was applied which actually made it more wobbly.

i find youtubes stabilisation to be rather good however it kind of degrades the PQ :/
I’ve been amazed at these insect/etc shots by people I can’t even press down on the shutter before they fly away let alone find the right distance for focusing
these guys should work for Discovery channel:P
i am looking for a post teaching me how to manually set the setting to taje good photo in different situation.

Hi guys, I took this macro picture of a flying ant using the “reversed lens” technique: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fcon/7716581452/
For those of you that do not know this technique, take a look at this link: http://stephenelliot.com/2007/05/15/reverse-lens-macro-photography-tutorial/
In my case, I used a Contax (ie. Carl Zeiss) G 45/2 lens that I had since the film days.
Superb sound! Though i would NEVER get that close to an insect :S
I like the huge sacrifice that was done to bring us the last video!
I hope it’s not dengue-carrier.
Tiny FROG, not toad, lol
A frog usually has smooth skin. Toads, like this one, have rough skins.
Actually the best way to tell the difference is if it jumps (frog) or crawls (toad). Some frogs can have rough skins.
But yeah, this is most likely a toad.
Waooooooooooooo! simply amazing
Jay, I’ve captured some photos of insects which I think are worth sharing here..but how can I send them to you?
very amazing photo
Video really is amazing when still, but once you start moving… the framerate drops like crazy and the video becomes very shaky, jittery and just not good.
I wonder what is this fault of? Framerate drops or the sensor? DSLR videos when panning around look more stable.
reasonable priced 6 million, the snap like a dslr. and for samsung fanboy, can your phone do this? :p
Here is my Nokia N8 version of ‘Tiny Creatures’……
