Team-BHP - The Official non-auto Image thread

@ Chevy_lover: Just love the night shot of the palace! Very nicely captured!
@ preetam_KORG: Liked the moon details.
@ Sudarshan: Liked the first pic and the Amby's reg. no :D
@ Shajufx: Like the boat pic. Were you on the ground or another boat? vbmenu_register("postmenu_2151570", true);
@ Karthik1100: Good capture of the fireworks!
@ RaguHolla: Great pics yet again!
@ fotomaverick: You gotta start somewhere! Looks very similar to posts just a few pages back. I think bangalore guys posted the shots!

And my best wishes to the folks taking part in the Nat Geo contest (I can only dream of being there for now :P)

@ fotomaverick: I like the shot! Could have included more of the horizon, say 1/4th of the height. (Or rule of thirds) :)

Some recent shots from me-

1. All that glitters is not gold!

2. He was somewhat satisfied with the above pic, and hence he allowed me to do a studio shoot! :D How does this pose look?

If you ever take a DSLR on a jet ski, you can say good bye to the cam forever ! I was on the ground, and when I tried the 'on-boat' position without cam, I was totally drenched :)

Thanks pawan! Winter is just amazing, right? I for one, just love snow filled streets and cityscapes!

Thx CrAzY dRiVeR, Indeed at times the moment is so captivating that capturing the scene or its technicality becomes second thought, thanks to mobile phone cameras, it is just a simple click :D

@shajufx, An open smile !!
The photograph is so beautiful and un-intentional which makes it so warm.

Anyway, a few mobile phone camera shot from my side.

Thanks guys !

CD, yes I have come a long way, but the path traveled is just 10% or less :)
Pawan, if you find Germany lacking bugs, we will send you few from India, wait for 6 months and you will never go out of 'subjects' for your macro..LOL
fotomaverick, beg borrow or steal, go get a proper DSLR, dont limit your talent !

What about ice frosts? They make nice macro subjects, right?

Thank you! Nice click. I'm not qualified to comment, but two suggestions from my side - 1. Is it compression loss, or are we missing details on the highlights and 2. off-center position. :thumbs up
