This was clicked a looong time ago in India, along Mysore road. I was sitting on the pillion seat, and my dad was driving his lancer at over a 120 km/hr! Got my timing right!

My Windmill in Mada Station, Jaisalmer. The image was tinkered with to achieve B/W effect with single colour (red) flush.

Nice effect akhilesh, would have been better if the balde wouldn't have clipped on the right

TG, you pictures leave me astonished. Is it directly that way from the camera or you tone them up quite a bit? Btw, your becoming the guru on landscape photography. Great pictures

One from my end with widest possible angle from my kit lens

As an afterthought, can you make some dramatic changes to my picture below. would love to see the result

@mobike
Nice click there.

I rarely post a pic with no Post processing. This one for instance is an hdr of 3 exposures, tone mapped in photomatix. And me no guru! Haha! A student, just in the early initial stages of photography!
Thanks for your comment, i really appreciate it man.
Regards,
Mukul.

Sure man. Whereas, i am the opposite since i hardly know anything about editing softwares so i have ho choice just download and post what is captured by camera.

One of these days hope to learn post processing

Without meaning to take any crerdit away from any post-processing masters, many highly reputable photographic competitions like Nat Geo's etc don't accept any entry that has been modified in any way.
The best way to learn post-processing is by buying a basic book on Photoshop and then experimenting with your own image. Gurus can give you tips and fine tune things a bit. But ultimately you have to learn the damn thing yourself.

Pardon me if am barging in to your discussion with TG but here's an attempt at your shot using PS, dont know much in PP like many of the experts here.

Too many artifacts popping up due the compressed JPEG version, if you have RAW file then i guess a lot more is possible.

just played around with curves, someone with real know how will do it better.

Torqueguru · 1st March 2009, 05:14

@dr_know
Nice images there, i like your eye.

@mobike008
I too tried a hand at editing that shot, well dr_know is right about the jpeg artifacts. So mobike008, if you email me the non compressed version, may be i can do a better job. Also try to make the Horizon horizonal, isnt that why ist supposed to be a "Hori"zon? That way the click will get a better sense of composition.
Right now, I tried my best to sort out the horizon tilt and the jpeg artfacts, check it out.
