I am sure you guys know this, use exif data as reference point ! creating your own take / mix is more fun.

WRT Canon lenses, I guess the pricing is almost similar and it would be obvious to go for the Canon counterparts for a few dollars more.
Tagging me along with annan KB is a sin. I am a bad amateur :pQuote:

KV, That was wonderful :clap: B&W is always special. Dilbert, wow again for that bird capture, well done!.
Thanks Kalyan. Fireworks is always very interesting time and place to take pictures. I too love low-light photography. That's why I am with sathya, as I love Canon there. :wink: I believe Canon were the ones who first introduced the CMOS sensors (for low noise) while Nikon were still using CCD sensors. Eventhough they fared well in day light (except for the moire effect), Canon stole the limelight in low-light (atleast till couple of years ago). We could see that in lot of reviews. But now, Nikon started using CMOS and catching up or even excelled Canon. I heard the Canon EOS 550D has all (if not more) the features of Canon 7D. But when it comes to handling, continuous shooting, schneider lenses, nothing can beat Nikon. Hate to compare, but I love this balance very much. :thumbsup:
Thanks Kalyan for sharing venki's site. venki, that was mind-blowing :notworthy: Everyone of them is a beautiful 'kavithai'. I loved all of them, especially that dawn shot (brimming with color) with electric lines, the girl in B&W, all droplet shots and close up of peacock.

I don't know if you saw this. Few more taken at Pittsburgh and DC. The DC long shot of Thomas Jefferson memorial and the zoomed-in version is my personal favorite.

Again pl be little kind on critics .. I am still LEARNING. :-)
Dilbert, That was awesome. :clap:Truly how we see with our eyes. Best ever!. Great shot and the camera and lens proves for itself. :thumbsup: I think the shutter speed should be quite large too, like 1/4s or even 1s with tripod?
thank you VS Original Image size is way too big for web upload. setting if I recollect correctly it was F21 or F22 of course with tripod and very low ISO.Quote:

Thanks and Wonderful shot again! Yes, suberb timing, we don't get to see that often. I had similar experience (posted in my photostream), but I could not get that straight, as it was standing sideways, still captured it.
Excellent snaps! Good going folks!
Still Learning sir ! I can never perfect anything in this field :-( . There is always something more .. :pQuote:

nandri, v_s, vinod, venki :).
venki i used to shoot mostly b/w alone, on film, until couple of years back (and had begun doing a bit of film processing and printing too), but it's become almost impossible to get flim, chemicals and paper. Even if you chance upon it somewhere, it'd be old-stock, past it's use-by date. Rightnu vittutu Canon PnS ku maaritten and have been enjoying the ease and comfort since then!
Vinod, naan muyarchi pannappo andha photo upload aagala... neenga eppadi panninga? size reduction pannanuma?
venkiraja, that park bench shot in your collection... fantastic POV! sakkath! :clap:

HDR tutorial please. I specifically shot the Taj with 6 different exposures, in RAW and in JPEG to make a HDR and yet, I fail everytime.Quote:

5) For Day / Sunset /Sunrise kind of shots , depending on lighting condition and colors which I want to enhance like water , some greenery etc.
6) Set your camera to Multi-shot with timer mode
7) The most important piece , which will spoil your picture 9times out of 10 . Pl make sure everything is set to Manual (including focus). switch your VC,IS or any other kind of image stabilizer to off mode.
If you follow these steps you can't go wrong in creating HDRs. Again HDRs have evolved so much over the years. You can create those 3- 5 different pics using 1 RAW itself if you buy a good software , which is what most magazines do.
Hope this information helps.
