@tsk nice colour rendition. Did you use a Polariser? or did you get those blues without ?

@gkrishna LOvely exposures. Very sharp. and very good colour reproduction. I wish the first one did not have the OoF leaves in the foreground. Lovely pics both.

It wasn't that slow. I think it was somewhere between 80-90 part of a second. Light was very poor and I had to push it to 500ISO.

If I look at the picture after reading the thought, the picture is much more enjoyable. It is a beautiful picture IMHO.

Last week one day I woke up and looked out, it was very foggy. I kept shooting until the fog went away...

Some pics from a recent trip...(nothing as spectacular as the Gurus here post, but some people seem to have taken a liking to them, esp the first image)

Good Pics Steer. try to post in slightly bigger size.

Venkatesh.C · 24th October 2007, 01:35

Folks here is another one from my Archives

PS:Nothing to write home about

Nice pic,Venkatesh!!
A lighter background would probably intensify the style & pollen grain of the flower. The Hibiscus is one of the best flowers to photograph..

Samurai · 24th October 2007, 07:37

Venkatesh, the red looks too saturated.

Venkatesh.C · 24th October 2007, 10:44

@Nitin. Yeah. I agree.
@samurai san. OK. I did not PP this one at all and this is close to what i saw on the scene.
The light source is from the top left and slightly to my front(Short of backlighting). Maybe that caused the colours to show up brighter.
I think the overall effect got spoilt coz of the lack of DOF as far as teh petals were concerned. As I said this is a so so job . Nothin to write home about

Can somebody tell me what are these called? They're on my window grill. There's not much of dust there on the grill. Grill is not rusted. These are less than a cm in height. Interesting, and I need to know the name.
