Is that Ulsoor lake by any chance? Also, what ISO is the picture taken on?

You're welcome Hw. Please note that the ISO values that we discuss here are applicable to the entry level and may be lower mid range DSLRs. Higher ISO shots from camera's like what TG is having is another story.

Yep, I agree that the higher end cameras have a different story when it comes to noise :).

Umm, I somehow like the contrast created here between the color and BW, that's why I left it as is and more over that is how I had imagined it to be :).

I loved the composition and the colour, did you gold-plate him before shooting ?:) May be the first here, but doesnt look like you are new to it.

Pawan, please dont cut the subject like that, it looks incomplete. Place it in the frame with a breathing gap to the front of its eyes.

Its hebbal lake around 6am, 18mm, f/2.8 at ISO 200, nothing unusual. Bit of PP could make the sky stand out, but I just left it as close to what I saw in real.

This is what you would get through PP on a boring white sky and dark branches in a similar set up, 50mm, f/2.8, ISO-200, early morning. Not a good shot to talk about, but just an example.

In my case, it was a friend's hand.

Thank You HW! To be frank, many of my friends didn't like that picture.

Nice composition. I liked the selective coloring. It looks awesome HW!

Nice colors and details there. The white seems to be blown and it's a bit distracting for my eyes :(

Try to take such shots by zooming in a little and click from a distance.

One more from my ISO1600 trip :) this time a bit of NR done in Adobe Camera RAW.

Thank you CleverMax. I wish i had clicked that one from a distance :(

About your photograph, it looks seriously awesome. As usual 'Ammus' looks very cute. It seems that she is busy with some work!

Beautiful one Pawan. I feel that the picture would have looked more beautiful if you had included the tail region in the pic.

Thanks for the comment. Actually this shot I took was very fast, before she could fly, I wanted to catch her.

Pickok

Thanks for that. I have been using ISO800 and 1600 (max on my camera) regularly. Now I know why there was more noise in one and less in the other. Thanks again.

I like this. Reminds me of Darsheel. Innocent look on her (?) face.

Thanks Amith. Umm, I am not sure I like this shot. But that's just me :(.

Thank you E_T :).

Ok, from the soft photos to something hard now? Here it is..

HW, I missed the earlier shot, good one, not able to make out what flower it is. I think I have the whiter version of the same.

The last one, is it a 1:1 macro of your new hairstyle or something ? :)

Sorry, I usually don't click a regular photo when I am high on macro drugs :D. I'll try and remember this thing the next time around.

By the way, it's some weird cactus that I have shot.
