Fantastic photo riju, this goes into my all time best pictures folder.

verbally abused by a lorry driver who said “ Poda loosu pulla “ when I said “ Poda naaye “ .

I cannot believe you said that. Right you were.

Has it ever been any other way ?

You have done well Riju, for the yeti himself to come here & say that.

I presume you did not visit chennai.

John I was at Kovalam which is just abt 30 odd kms from chennai. Will catch up with the chennai crowd soon since I will be traveling to meet a very close friend.

Also PM me your email id , will send you a full resolution pic of the church.

Lord Yeti thanks for making thy presence felt in this thread .

No worries, pudhu maapilai (Test your tamil here). I was just wondering that is all. Who would want to meet up with a bunch of petrol & oil smelling, loud mouthed, car crazed BHPians on his newly wed getaway trip ?

Riju, in the church pic, why dont you use PS and edit out that streetlamp which just peeped into the pic on the top left?

Benny unfortunately will have to wait till my desktop is up and running. The monitor conked and have been using my laptop since then. Apparently even the lappie's LCD brightness controls ain't working.

Actually it needs more than that, the lens distortion due to intense wide angle also needs to be corrected. Actually that correction will remove the lamp out of the picture.

Samurai adding another pic shot at the same 18mm with the Nikkor 18-135mm lens. I had shot a similar pic last time with my D50 18-55mm kit lens.



The above pic doesn't have that much of a tilt as compared to the pic quoted by e_l. Any thoughts ?

edit :

Actually that correction will remove the lamp out of the picture.

My next question , how ?

Here you don't have the near end of the altar at the extreme end. So no bending.

Look under Filters menu in PS, I think the option is lens correction under distortion.
