Lovely landscapes in the last two pages by Clevermax, tsk and TG.
I envy you guys, I can't compose a decent landscape shot at all :(.

Clevermax,
The first shot is amazing.

You've managed to get awesome shots from Vembanad Lake. I liked both pics.

Here is one from me.

I tried to make a symbol of heart using a ring and torch. But i failed. Still, I managed to make a heart symbol without ring. Hurraaaay

Criticism Welcome

Thanks Amith. I'm from Kottayam and Vembanad lake is always a nostalgia:)

You are unique. Keep it up. Its hard to believe you are doing all these things with a tiny P&S cam clap:

Thanks HellwratH! IMO, Composing a landscape shot is not very difficult like a macro or portrait, so keep clicking and you'll have some nice landscape shots!

Thats right, i sometime felt the best ones are the ones which were composed accidentally. Here's one quick shot taken from bus while travelling to Chikkamagalur. Never thought it would look like this.

That's an unusual kind of sunset! How did it appear like that? Guess you have zoomed a good extent to get the ship like that.

You processed it from only one raw file right? If you are using Photomtix, there's a lot of trial and error you've to do by changing the sliders to improve the look.

Amazing snaps guys.

Here is one from my side of my recent trip to Croatia.

^^ Brilliant shot pawan. Please share the Exif. Did you use a tripod? Used nd filter or you could click with a very narrow aperture?

OT: How did you travel to Croatia? Train?

I did travel by train from Munich to Zagreb 11 Hr. From Zagreb to Plitvice Lake its 2.5 hour journey by bus.

I have had taken tripod with me but I miss the hook which is used to fix the cam on tripod. So all the photographs are handheld, I used my old air-shotgun trick to click handheld photographs.

18mm
F-8
1/4 sec
handheld
No knowledge of filter :(

Tribal children in Valparai, TN:

Got this after a lot of fiddling around with my HS10. I am new to all the controls on such a camera. Your comments would be most constructive. The temple like structure at the bottom right is actually the top part of a Hiranandani building in Powai. The treeline is the crest of a hill visible from the colony where I reside in.

No Photoshop / other enhancements except cropping on Picasa.

Another one from my Vembanad collection. Its my dad and uncle on the boat.
