Hi there...well yea now I am online. For your image compression or resizing you can use a simple free to use software by the name of Irfanview. It's a very tiny and good software for normal usage. Nowadays it has tools for processing image too. Try it out...you'll like it.

Petra (Jordan) once the stronghold of the gifted Nabataens. Look what they had done those days. Carved the entire city from stones. Shot in 1999.

Rudra Sen,
The sweeping columns forming into a fluid curve and the dark cloudy backdrop are majestic and camel silhouetted against the stone city is magnificent, anyways we don't expect anything less from you.

Yes agree with you T.G shooting kids is quite a tough job. But, well unlike wildlife they don't flee when you want to shoot them from nearby.

Cheers,

Anirban.

speaking of kids, some sport photography. I tend to make collage when I have similar pictures, don't want to bore the audience with a bunch of pics with same theme.

@fazalaliadil - Nice perspective on the first shot

@vivek: Interesting collage, the rightmost in the second row is the winner

@TG: Beautiful portriats. But hey you said you are not a big fan of softening...! What's with these?

I am not getting any time to click pictures... Damn!! Waiting for the weekend.

Torqueguru · 18th June 2009, 11:22

@Clevermax
I am not a big fan of soft light thats blown up...here actually i havent applied a soft filter...its a diffuse glow that too only for the pic with the little girl on the lawn, as it works well for kids...so technically i am not a big fan of soft light and that still holds

Nice shot.
Kids' shots look better when you're on your knees rather than toes.
