Blessed with a baby boy on 22nd Apr.

Thanks @C300. And congrats to both of you. Enjoy the moments. I am very sure that you will run short of hard disks
with the kid as model!

If you guys are with Canon, and if you don't have 50mm prime and/or 70-200 F4 IS L, do get them and you will see a world
of difference. One for perfect candids and the other amazingly fast.

Another landscape from my side. Looking through the trees.

Thanks a lot bro. Yeh, it was shot with 50mm. Its an amazing lens for the price :thumbs up

Many congrats neoonwheels. :thumbs up


Very nice photo!



Nice one for starters. Use the 70-200 or preferably the 85mm G or D prime for this kinda photography

I am not a big fan of lighting ears from the back. I am guilty of doing the same :D.

Nice! 1.8 should be good enough for most of your stuff.

Congratulations :). I'll the same thing I told C300, please avoid flash for a few months and fill up those hard disks.


I was out last saturday with couple of friends to shoot some landscapes but couldn't as it started raining. The same friend messaged me asking if I was game to go today and I was more than happy to tag along, just because I'll get to learn a lot from him. He is a landscape photographer and a very very good one at that. Mostly does UWA POVs.

So, went and got myself a Cokin P GND this afternoon and went to kaikondrahalli lake. Man, am I impressed with this place or what. It's perfect for landscape, macros and birds. I tried some landscapes before sunset but was not getting anything interesting. I was also carrying the legendary "Vivitar Series 1 90mm f2.5" (Bokina) macro lens and wanted to give it a shot in the field as I haven't used it since I got it. From what I see, it's EXTREMELY sharp but prone to flare.

I had access to a manfrotto 055xProB and lots of dragonflies and bugs. What else could I ask for. So, here's what I got (looks like a red veined darter, please correct me if I am wrong):



I did get some landscape shots as well, which I'll share over the week.

PS: The photo looks underexposed here, no idea why.

@neonwheels
Great image! wonderful!

@Shaju
I have the same to say about back lit images, ears in that shot distract me way too much.

A couple of macros shot with my Fujifilm X10.

Yeh, I do not use flsh for my baby's portraits, so the 50mm is always on the camera whenever I am at my in-laws place. That macro has really come out well :thumbs up

Thanks a lot ! Its really fun clicking snaps of a baby !

Thanks bro!. Nice pics. May be we should include a link to high-resolutions shots as well. The quality degrades like anything with low-res show.

Shot this one in Mysore:

Nikon D7000, Nikkor 55-300mm

C300 & neoonwheels - Congrats!! Photographing kids is a challenge!

You can get them to smile... but you may want to improve the framing..


Then you improve the framing only to see them giving you something like this...


and eventually they get bored with your shooting episode...


All shot with 50mm @ f/2.8

@HW: You got that one! Neat.
@TG: Vivid shots!!

From my archives, taken during my drives around CA-35, running parallel to & west of I-280 and the 101.

Was called the Cypress Ridge Ranch


And a painter. Stopped by to chat with him .. ah, the good old days :)

Couple of snaps around Bangalore in the times of green.

The almighty protected by nature.


Monoliths

My First digital camera HP215 bought in the year 2000.

Specifications: 1.3 Mega pixels :Shockked:
2x Digital zoom
1.8 inch LCD panel with live view :D
Came with 4MB CF card - yes, that's right.. 4MB.

It needs 4 alkaline batteries and lasts for about 30-45 shots. It won't run on rechargeable batteries.

Couple of shots from my side:

Ha ha, nice series :). I like the last one the best.

I got that lens in the MD mount ;). If I ever plan to sell that one (may be someday), I'll check with you first.

Here's one from that evening's landscape shoot. Shot with Panasonic 14-45mm, used GND from Cokin. They're famous for adding violet to the scene, which I kinda like but this place lacked foreground so this is the only that I like from all of it.

Its 70-200 itself, I dont mind someone gifting me a 85mm :)

TG & HW, its just one from 80 images, I got few excellent ones from the session, but not allowed to post anywhere for a while. Around 6 or 7 are posted in FB & my site, will post here another version later.

I never try directing them, they are best as natural as they are. Good collection here.
