Thank you for visiting my profile. I like nature, its bugs & butterflies. Photography, especially macro-photography has not just become a great hobby but has helped me learn a lot about these small beautiful creatures. To me "photography" is the best way to be close to & appreciate nature. If you feel that I have wrongly identified any of the creatures or have any suggestions regarding my photographs, please let me know.
Mr sincere thanks to all, including folks at Diversityindia for their assistance in the identification of insects.
Thank you once again for your comments, favs and invites.
My gear: Sony Dsc T-30



As of 2011 I've also started shooting birds using
Canon Powershot SX 30 IS

    "I have only seen this level of quality in National Georgraphy Magazine. It is hard to belive that he is taking with a point & shoot.
    Yet another proof for the famous quote "it is not the equipment, it is the photographer". I think lot of hard work is behind this stunning macro shots. Congrats, keep it up. Take it to next level Mr. Parag. Get your work published in some intl-magazine etc."

    "As an enthusiastic photographer I tried many areas of photography. The hardest one is probably macro photography and especially of insects. Striving for the perfect photo involves locating an interesting insect, then I find myself usually kneeling or even lying down into some bush or thorny flowers, trying to approach cautiously, yet close enough with my invasive lens, playing with focus, depth of field, exposure and composition... to realise just before firing away that those tiny yet marvelous creatures have vanished in a split of a second - sometimes landing on the next flowers, making you going over the same process tediously again...
    Having said that I find Parag's works creatively awesome. He seems to speak the right "insect's language" - as they usually look very interested and approach his lens instead of fleeing...
    The composition, detail and interestingness in Parag's photos coming with a combination of perfect lighting and colors make me many times to be able to say only one word: "Wow!"."
