Completely agree. That's mind blowing stuff - esp the first pic. Can you please explain how - for the love of God?

And how much PP/sharpening/saturation does Canon need? Those are lovely pics and that's the kinda setup I wanna build - but confused about the SOOC results of 40D!

Lovely pictures! Very well composed, sharp and nice punchy colors!

Tao, a good understanding of both Photography & Post Processing are equally essential to get the best results ouT of your camera... like people learn the basics of photography over time and get better at it, similarly they need to learn the basics of post processing and will gradually get better at this too...

Like with food, a great chef is one who not only prepare heavenly dishes, but also presents them in the most exotic and mouth watering way:)

For me, photography is a total of your ability to first create and then present your creation in the most appealing way:)

Pranav Kumar Gautam, that is awesome stuff there. Loved all the 3 photos. Photography must be an integral part of your profession. Great to have you here.
If you dont mind, please consider writing a review of the canon eos 40D in our ownership section.

As I am new to this site I need to understand how stuffs work........

@KrishnenduKes- Thanks dude for your appreciation :)

@ hitanshu- Thank you so much hitanshu.....I just used my old aluminum hanger to make a rig which can hold a very fine needle and then I placed it in front of my monitor with an inverted image(coz u'll get inverted image from a drop) and then I placed some glycerine's drop very carefully at equal distance(which is very difficult) and did some lighting and also used the flash of my camera ....and in the post I just increased its sharpness and color contrast.........Either you use canon or nikon you'll get result on how you use your camera and whats your settings....and yes to enhance the beauty of a photo you need to retouch in post.

@Vicky- Thanks Vicky.....I agree with your reply to hitanshu totally :)

@shutterbug- Thank you so much my friend.....Yes photography is a part of our profession and I'll definitely write a review for 40d for sure :)

@MG_1806- I am glad you like it :)

@anvancy-(macro analyst): Thanks dude :) sure I'll post it to that group/thread

@rio008- Thanks rio :)
