@TSK, there must be a very strong magnetic field or a black hole ahead of you. the light rays are not straight

.

and TG's rays are broken and shaking, bursts of laser

?

rudra's laser show is the only authentic laser i can see.

TG, Awesome pictures as usual. It would help if you also mention which program you use along with other exif data. Is it manual all the time?

@TSEA, that's a neat picture. Exif please

Proxima · 16th December 2009, 20:14

Wow TG, handheld @ 0.1 Sec is great. Did the lens have IS/VR?

I shoot in manual. I tried Aperture priority, but felt most comfortable in manual, so switched back to it. So yeah, it is manual all the time. I use Light room and Photoshop as my processing tools. This picture is processed in Photoshop cs4 actually.

@Proxima
Nope, It is shot with the Nikon 14-24 f2.8 lens, it has no VR. VR helps only in tele focal situtations, is what I feel. And I dont really have much respect for VR in general photography, VR is best provided with a tripod, monopod or my hands

I was fiddling around with high ISO of my camera yesterday night, more of just getting to know the camera, some of the results were actually quite good. A few from yesterday night, where my awesome friend readily served as the guinea pig
