Camera - Sony A35
Lens - Minolta 50mm f/1.7
f/2.2, ISO400

@ Clevermax nice click, 50mm lense rocks, I loved the quality of the image.

Matters a lot to me.

I don't do any PP of my photographs as all know. I only stripped the photo of colors in PS as I couldn't change the settings to monochrome while shooting in the forest (missed a second body).

Will post the colour version soon.

@gd1418: Nice catch! I'm missing the colors in that shot! Or the background had to be darker and contrasting with the big cat's color for the BW to look catchy -just my opinion!

Thanks sameerpb. Yes, 50mm rocks :) The quality is affected due to server compression here, enjoy a much cleaner version here.
One more from the same shoot
Exif almost the same.

Generally, some level of colors & level correction can only bring the image more closer to actual scene I believe. We shouldn't stay away from PP as if it is something which destroys an original image..

Fantastic shower of colours today morning just before Sunrise.

This seems to be the most common bird around the areas I move around. We call it "Salunki" in Marathi. I don't know the English name for it.

Its now unofficially known as the "Poor Myna" because its the most shot bird in the world :) I feel you need to spend more time with the camera, group walks would boost our spirit. A street walk, a visit to the lake etc. all will enhance your collection gradually. Hope you are enjoying your shoots.:thumbs up

Thats why its the most sought after lens in the world. If I have to walk around, I would prefer to do that just with a 50mm, serves all my needs. Btw, the product in picture has any connection to the title on it ? I thought BB10 is expected by year end !

Thanks Shaju. Yes I am thoroughly enjoying my shoots. I carry my camera as if its part of my body these days. I have clicked 4,759 shots since 10th Feb 2012 (average 26 shots per day).

And I totally agree with you. I have not ventured into serious stuff such as street walks, lakes and forests yet. What I have done till date is probably just 5% utilization of the capabilities.

@shaju, it is not a PP'ed title, it is what the screen was displaying - it is actually a functional Dev Alpha BB10 which is given to app developers by BB.

Yes, it may be released by the year end or may be in 2013.
