The Official non-auto Image thread

While driving back home from work last evening I spotted this crescent hanging on the horizon. Nothing very spectacular because of the evening pollutuion & haze. Hope you like it..

Talking of portraits, after realizing it's very hard to pose for a good portrait, I took advantage of the CHDK intervalometer in my canon S2 IS. On the balcony of our beach front resort, I turned it on and let it do it's thing while we continued ours.

This is closest to a candid I could get. Tint and some color correction done in picasa.

this is what happens when somebody jumps in front of an already focused shot.

A "Bug" from my side. Can someone ID it please? Shot with a 5MP P&S and cropped it to get the pattern on the back of the bug.

Hello Friends!
Good to see y'all back!

@gd1418:
Nice catch!

@TG:
Beautiful shot. Again, crisp & clear... !

@sj_koova:
Is that a grape plantation?

@vivek:
The first shot is really cool! Nice processing too.

@abhijit:
That sky look beautiful indeed. Edited the colors?

@s0ljah:
Good catch. Lens?

@Hellwrath:
Good bug. You don't wan't to fix it do you?

And, here goes my first picture in the new t-bhp server

Taken last weekend at Shamkumukham beach at Trivandrum. My lens got misted with the salty sea water, and I happened to wipe it off with a cloth worsening the optical quality - that explains the softness of the pic.

Yeah the picture is bit soft. Otherwise it was a nice composition

TSEA · 29th June 2009, 22:05

@s0uljah: Good catch.

@TG: Very Sharp Pic. How did you get the shine on the body? Looks cool.

@clevermax: I think the softness in the pic is adding to the entire effect. Good composition.
