Thanks venki and Sid. Yes, DOF could have been better. Thanks for your valuable inputs. I even tried sitting to get that picture, but there were people sitting all over the place, on the steps. I heard ideal time for shooting is round 8-9 pm in the evening, where crowd will be less. I have seen some breath-taking pictures during that time.
From the Deepavali album of 2010:

Amazing pictures folks :clap:
So its just me who owns a DSLR and using it like a point&shoot. I always set it to 'Auto' and click pics. :oops:
The technical details on your posts are greek and latin to me. Where to start? I don't want to read the manual. Is there a easy-to-read online guide or something?
Excellent colors from your camera. I loved the sunset. :thumbsup:. I am still with my Panasonic FZ-28 with 18x leica lens. The main reason I could not leave this camera behind is because of the leica lens. Leica used to manufacture F2.8 throughout the zoom range (from 36-432 mm) for earlier Panasonic models, now they are not doing that, but still one of the best lens.Quote:

Back in 2007, even I was split between Panasonic FZ and Nikon D40 (40x, 70 and 70S).Quote:

some super shots, folks :clap:

Yes, I am stunned by the lighting. How did you get that venki. Especially on the second row, the one below is little darker and all layers above are gradually getting darker. How did you achieve it? Something outstanding! :notworthy:

The inherent geometry is killer, seriously!
Canon T3i (600D)
Canon 18-135 IS lens
Canon 70-300 IS USM lens
Planning to buy 2 more lenses - 50 mm Prime 1.4 & a wide-angle lens
6 months down the line, if I have enough cash, will go for Canon 100-400 L or Sigma 50-500mm
I was contemplating Nikon D5100 Package. Got a very good deal on Canon and the 2 lenses ($400 off). Hence, bought it.

You have a Canon DSLR as well? I remember that you bought a Nikon D5100 during Thanksgiving.
Question to all: What is your opinion on 3rd party lenses like Sigma, Tamron, Tokina etc? For example Canon 100 - 400 L comes to 1400-1500 dollars. Sigma 50-500, almost the same price, but with a better focal range.
I am not worried about cost - Given a choice - Which would you choose from, from the same price range? a slightly more versatile third-party or the OEM with slightly lesser feature?
I presume there cannot be straight-forward answer. Just asking for experiences and opinion.
Corrected. Its Nikon only @thanksgiving.Quote:
