@meghan: Beautiful picture of the lone tree! Good dynamic range there
@Klub: Very nice image - the silhouette one.

This is where I work. The rightmost building to be precise

@ clevermax - i had tried capturing pics of technopark from same location as yours,but didn't came that much good.

Have you tried capturing at night from the same location,looks most beautiful and also the other side where you can get a distant view of sea

Another pic of technopark from my side,this is where i work

Meghan,
There is a bit of diffraction that I see in your flickr page as well. Not very evident though, I think the compression here is just enhancing that.

Taken at kite festival, Palace graounds.

@crazybiker: That wasn't a single exposure, it is an HDR generated from 3 shots. took after 6 pm today.

Here's another view of somewhere else in techno. The skies looked really good today with those patterns. This one is not an HDR, exposure blending from 3 shots.

Thanks Scorcher!
@TG: Cool shot! Lovely processing.

Skies looked really dull when we were atop Tejaswini building from where I clicked the first shot posted above. But when we came out of the underground parking into the open area minutes after, the sky was looking beautiful. Just stopped the car and clicked this

This is shot from Skandagiri, 5 mins after sunrise.
Skandagiri is the hill opposite to Nandi Hills.
The place is arid and to reach the top, there is trekking trail for nearabout 7-8 kms.

Had taken these shots near a friend's farm house just outside of bangalore. Got a chance to process them today. One of them is heavily processed (barb wire).

How do you guys like them?

clevermax · 14th February 2010, 10:15

@HW: The first two shots are beautiful! I like them. The third shot is also nice, but the road could have been more towards the center, just IMO.

The last picture has lots of noise, I just removed it to see how it looks without noise:

Clevermax,

Actually the noise was intentional to give a "texture" like feel to it

. The road picture was originally a landscape shot with a tree on the left side. But, with that the composition seemed left-heavy. So, I converted it to a portrait shot and cropped the tree.

Klub Class · 14th February 2010, 11:10

@TorqueGuru : Woww..!! I love the sepia tones there.All your pics have a "Wow" factor.

@CleverMax : Your last compositions are really awesome.The colors and the clouds are making me saw 'wow'.

@Preetam : Wonderful shot.I wanna visit Skandagiri. :-P

@Meghan : Beautiful long exposure shot brother.

@HellWrath : I am finding it hard to choose my favorite from the lot,btw lovely processing brother.I prefer one with noise.(I am referring to the last pic)

Here is one from my side.

Captured while practicing keyboard.
