Some diwali captures from my end.

[gd1418]

This is not the SWAT Valley or a road in Kandhahar. It is our own Gurgaon and the road in front of my condominium.

This is what it looked like the Day After at 6:15 in the morning. Last night's performance (not in the bed) by the Delhi/NCRites on the road left no one in doubt that there is nothing called as recession.







Our own desi Patriot missile launcher



Hope this captures the Diwali spirit as Rudra wanted... All the pics have been cropped only and true to my style no PP....

[Rudra Sen]

I never wanted that Guru but only requested. Great POV.

Something which i also faced! One suggestion is, if you get a sequential burst happening from one place, you can do a manual focus and then shoot. Sadly most often when this happened, my cam would be looking in opposite direction and stuck with another shot and i thought rain was difficult!

My two cents: While it is very nice to see motorheads being a bit more than enthusiasitc photographers, by publishing their shots they are also exhibiting their skills and in the process allowing novices etc., also to learn.

To enable and emulate the more experienced, may I suggest that each photograph be preceded with the Exif info, so that the learners could copy similar settings while trying their own hand.

I kindly request to bear with the picture quality as firstly I am no great photographer and secondly this pic is from a Cell camera.



But still this is my first entry to this thread.



By the way this is a great thread. Non pros like me also can contibute.

I usually stay out of this section, But...

Nashik on Divali Night. Notice that there are no high rises yet!!

The City Pictures are taken with a 8sec exposure.







This is the Nasik Taj, All lit up on the occasion.


The only Decent Firecracker shot that I managed on my stupid Digicam!!

Here is a try to capture a cherry bomb bursting.

Guys I have a suggestion:

When a new theme is announced, can the announcer (or experts like Samurai/Rudra/GD/others) post some Dos and Donts along with the new theme announcement?

This will help newbies like myself to veiw the tips that are posted before trying to shot some pics, not after shooting them.
