Is that cloud real?

[7-methyltheophylline]

Is that cloud real?

Yes, it's real. Only post processing is some curves adjustment. It's quite surprising, considering that Dabhol is a naptha-fired plant, rather than coal. I think it may just be steam from the turbines rather than smoke.

There indeed was heavy fog this morning....Hebbal (and especially Manyata TP) was totally invisible... Is this Whitefield?

Thanks Cyclops. Winter is right here, this time Bangalore overtook north india.

There indeed was heavy fog this morning....Hebbal (and especially Manyata TP) was totally invisible... Is this Whitefield?

This is marthahalli (underneath the flyover) .. It was actually hard (or rather gross) to walk in the middle of railway track that early in morning with heavy fog. We had numerous 'fresh' or 'straight from the oven' encounters. Like u can see the guy in the middle of track and guess where he is headed.
Reminds me of Hatia-Patna train when it crosses Jehanabad-gaya area at 6 AM LOL!

Anyways, Anything for photography.

DSLR Photo of the Day!
Posting one here... after a while...

Walking in Europe across the fields, driving across the countryside in August one gets to see these lovely haystacks rolled up in the fields and they have always tempted me to stop and shoot. I have been shooting over the years. But I have never been able to really get a good shot. Until this time when I managed to get a relatively presentable shot in overcast conditions, much better than when I used to get full sunlight.

Play with lines in the fields!

Thats the reason that the photo looks so good. Had it been green then it would not not been that effective.

Anvancy

Yes Anvay, its a tire tube, very unorthodox & crude fishing boat! I wanted the silhouette, so didn't bring details from the tire. Also, this was a long shot (me on top of a building & this at the other end of the Sabarmati riverfront), I couldn't precisely use the morning light to my advantage! Also, from my vantage point, I needed a bit of underexpose to bring that fishing net into view & that underexposes the tire by a lot!

Why don't you give it to the service center, assuming that there is one there?

The Nikon manual says that you should preferably service the camera at-least once a year.

Been there, that feeling multiples after you post it in this forum :)
Here is my take one the whole situation : patience. Spent atleast a minute trying to figure out how and what you want to shoot( composition). Take atleast 3 pictures of the same subject ( if possible the more the better) in different setting/composition. The LCD is out best friend, though it doesn't give you a complete idea of how the picture would look like, it gives you a very good perspective..

As with everything, the theory is easy putting it into pratice takes a lot of effort..

Cyclops >> This could have been a amazing product shot for garments only if there was better lighting or if you could have brightened the subjects face in PP. I liked it :)

Tell your friend I just loved the color and pattern on ghaghra.

[KrishnenduKes]

Shot while walking back home all the way from office..

It is great keep a camera handy while walking long distances..



It is great to see you carrying a camera while walking back from office!!!

I agree too.

Jupiter? Which one?

Just below Moon is Jupiter, and other one left is Venus .

You can easily spot them easily two bright planet on the west side after sunset . Infact, They are getting close to each other everyday by 15th of march they will be get very close .

Next conjunction between Jupiter and Venus will be in 2014.

Where did you go angling?

[rajr]

I had been to Raigad district and fished for almost 19hrs. Its a crazy addiction that makes you trek, travel, slip, and even go to location where very little or none dare to go during odd hours.

I wanted the reflection perfectly hence the floor is also in the frame.

That is what I figured.

Did you try other places? Other angles?

[ashishtamhane]

Yes but I think the previous one was the best of them.

Another one:

I think otherwise! ;)

[ashishtamhane]

I think otherwise! ;)

Ahh well, but I regarded that previous shot as 'the shot of the session'. Was very happy once I saw the first attempt on the screen and then asked my father to stay still while I take some more attempts.

Decreased the ISO to 100 and set the Aperture to f/9, rested the Camera on the floor and then shot it in Live-view for added sharpness with Nikon's Vibration Reduction turned off.

Hi Guys,

Good evening,

Yesterday I did some imageing of the super alignment of Planets & Moon..Planet Vensu, Jupiter & Moon were in the same line in the western horizon.

Using the backdrop of the JNP i did manage to take some images starting from twilight and one hour onwards. I hope this is the appropriate thread to post the image.

For more images you can check the link below.

IMHO, not impressive for the boat is to close to bottom & in dead centre, the blue overpowers the bottom black frame (which seems to be just 5% of the overall image)...

The Blue is too unnatural for me in there. I wonder if the photo will look better in monochrome.

The component stars are the seven brightest forms the part of the constellation Ursa Major.Dipper helps to find out polaris or North star .
