Thanks buddy and I missed commenting about the frog picture. How did you get so close? The photo is awesome, do enter it in a few competitions and you might win.

Edit: Another one for the fall colors:

I am not asking "which frog, which pond, what lens, which body", but nice capture, looks like a soft box reflection in his eye

Both are good, I wish I could be on that first image boat and dream having a hut among those second image trees ! As I told you earlier, I was not impressed with any of your 'fall' shots so far, but these two made me very happy

I dont remember what was my last image post here. This is my neighbor kid, taken with a 70-300, natural light, large thermocol sheet used as a reflector.

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY !!!

Alok,
This place is in Arlington, VA. It's called the Washington & Old Dominion Trail close to Four Mile Run Drive. In other words, it's right outside the place I live at .

Thanks, this place is called Burke Lake in Fairfax, Virginia. It's a lovely lovely place for fall colors.

Thanks Shaju and that's a wonderful portrait. Goes to show how much soft light/reflectors can help.

The above photograph posted by me was slightly out of balance, so I went back there yesterday to try and correct the composition and to try the newly acquired 14-45mm Panasonic OIS lens. Yes, this was used on the audacious mirrorless camera G1. The mistake that I did was to use a cheapo CPL that came with the lens and it screwed up my RGB values and made the photograph soft. Lesson learnt. Here are two more shots from the same trail.

@Hellwrath
Nice stuff there. Sorry to hear of the cpl issue though.

Fall season is in full form here in Washington, so I decided to take some memorable portraits of my dad n mom.







Cheers,
TG.

@Hellwrath the slow shutter one is very nice. Try with some more intersecting water swirls against such wonderful Background, if you already haven't

You are almost correct. I use by SB-800 with Filter gel, offcamera with a diffuser attached to it to get rid of the harshness.

that last picture is priceless. would look really nice if you framed it.

HW, TG - Lovely Fall colours guys. Looks like the best season to visit the Big Apple!

Heres a pic of spring blossom!

[nimbleguru]

@HellwratH : That's one mesmerizing snap.
I think I'll have it as a wallpaper(No..not desktop, but real WALLpaper)

@shajufx : As usual, fantastic snap. How do you do it every time !!!

@Torqueguru : You really are a guru at this (unlike my handle).

@C300 : Again, beautiful capture.

I would give my right arm to get such crisp snaps as you guys.
Think you guys should start a thread on DSLR tips & tricks for us novices.

Here's my take at Manhattan skyline (I'm terrible at night shots. please do pardon the noise)

Uploading a snap after a long gap!

Thanks TG. Fall is one amazing season but lasts very short. Some brilliant shots by You, as always.

Thanks. I wanted to give that a shot, but didn't want to get into the water as it was pretty cold. That's one problem with fall/winter :(.

Thanks C300. You're right, fall is the best season to visit NY. Lovely shot there, I see some minor color cast though.

Thanks buddy, I am honored. You don't have to give us your right arm, just blank cheques with your signature on them would do . Do let us know if you need anything specific and everyone on this forum will be more than happy to help you.

About your photograph, it's a little over-exposed for my taste. You might want to tone it down a bit in a photo editing software.

Ok, so here's some fun stuff for you guys (It's Friday!!). I acquired two legacy lenses recently and I received the adapter for them today. So, take a shot and guess which mystery lens I have used for the following shots?

These are taken with the G1 and are straight out of the camera (Jpegs. They were shot in B/W).

Hint: These lenses may be one of the lightest/smallest lenses ever made.


EDIT: Glomus, love that photograph. Brilliant exposure on that one.

Thanks, it was one of the first set of snaps using my 50 mm prime f1.8. Still learning!!
With thanks and regards
