If you can,do a cinemascope crop and add some vignetting and it will look one of those fairytale shots!

This is on the Shimoga-Agumbe state highway, Karnataka. I have already done a bit of editing on the original shot. I'm not quite sure what is a cinemascope crop :p (I'm still very new to all this :) ) Can you please explain?
BTW, here is the original.

It is not easy to shoot stuff like this.

The exposure of your subject has to be spot on. The texture of the pipe has to be razor sharp in focus and so on. Then it starts looking good.

Both shots are good, conveying very different moods. The first one with the lady setting her camera is a lovely composition... the lines of the steps in counterpoint with the lady's body in diagonal... working beautifully for me.

Shot N°1 is really good and 4 is not bad. Again N°1 could have been stopped down by at least half.

Thanks Ken

You have a decent idea of framing. I think it is time you started working on it... "f" being the aperture and "s" being the shutter speed. I can continue if you wish.

[Technocrat]

Yes, I know what the 'f' & 's' mean but I dont understand how do people know that a image would have come better at 'x' or more stops before or after the F value chosen :(

I normally switch to manual mode in poor lighting conditions, dial in with some guess work (using simple logic)till I get it right.

[hitanshu]

Here is why:
http://www.pixiq.com/article/sharp-photos

You must use aperture priority mode (shutter priority for sports/panning or suchlike where a bare minimum shutter speed is required for avoiding shake) in most scenarios.

instead of Kodak M1093 to HS10, waited another couple of cheques and even bought a used dSLR. But putting a SLR in your hands is so long overdue. You could do magic with like a D90 or 550D!

That was the original plan Tau. Thought to get an entry level DSLR or a used D90 category cam. Sadly could not find a decent second. Had my hands on a friend's Canon 1000D but was not very impressed with it(may be after trying D90 of his Dad :))Found Fuji with some preferred features, though had a long long long thought and self-convincing to sacrifice a larger sensor. :o

Image of Shakti. (Sakthi in Tamil). Locals call her as Mariamman (Rain god). This shot was taken in a newly renovated temple near to my home. Thanks to the priest for allowing me to take this. Except some small temples, taking shots of mulagraham (main statue) is still prohibited in many temples in India. In the name of renovation, today many of the temples are losing their age old architecture. You can see some granites in the background. This temple also contains some western style hanging lights, which ruins the traditional looks entirely.

Am I allowed to post pictures from micro 4/3 camera (GF2) in this thread? It's not an SLR but has interchangeable lens.
Henry

I am sure you can. :)

Brilliant Non DSLR shots.

The first one is REALLY good. I liked it a lot.

[hensil]

Thanks Ken,
This was shot last year when me and my friend visited Nepal. Unfortunately, the day we landed in Kathmandu the whole Nepal went on strike. The whole Nepal remained closed for 9 days till the day we left. After reaching Kathmandu we had tough time to reach our hotel that was outside the city.
We stayed in Kathmandu for 4 days then flew to Pokra. There we hired a by-cycle for for 5 days to move around. The by-cycle forced me to leave my heavy photography equipment in the hotel and just carry GF1 with kit lens 14-55mm. I also carried the Nikon 50mm that I can attach to GF1 with an adapter.
Now I like GF1 so much because if it's small size and weight that I hardly use my DSLR unless it's very important.

Yes, nice shot for academic interest.

Why do gods or demi gods look so ferocious?

[amvj]

May be to create a fear among the locals about these demi-gods to not to do any sinful act. Traditionally they are designing the statues like these.

I am going totally OT but I naturally presume that a God is supposed to instill love and affection other than fear with such elongated canines like Count Dracula!

I was enjoying the beach at Ganpatipule, Ratnagiri two years back when this relatively big crab caught my attention. Immediately I set my Sony DSC-W30 PnS into Macro mode and started chasing him. The funny thing about the crab was that every time I used to get close to him, he would raise his claws, in defense that is.

Crabs walk sideways and not straight like us, so photographing him was a big fun!:)

Loved the second picture.

[amvj]

Very nicely processed!

Thanks or I would like to say your monitor is same as my laptop's display.

Now I am in a big confusion. I have checked this photo in my office Dell Monitor and it looked over saturated but the same is not true in my laptop (Laptops do not have option to change contrast). Now I don't know which one displays true colour.

[KrishnenduKes]

Now I don't know which one displays true colour.

If you do not have screen calibration hardware (Like all of us) try a couple of things:

Try checking the whites.

Try your memory.

Thanks PS. Thanks to my friend Sreejith for the translation :p

@ Anvancy: I have another of the same subject without flash. Don't know which one is good.

[anvancy-(macro analyst)]

For me personally the second one works better because of the play of light.Natural.

Anvancy

[powerslave]

I'm with anvancy on this.

[Cyclops]

Even I would go with the second one... Natural light & scene is the best!

[KrishnenduKes]

I would go with the second too. But then it also depends on what is the subject.
