Wow great pics Tanveer, The place looks beautiful. The journey must have been a delight with such a pleasant weather

What an awesome place is this Thirtan/Jalori. Thank you tsk for excellent pictures.

All you guys staying in North, you guys are lucky.

Nitin · 12th March 2008, 19:21

Amazing!! Quite an experience,Tanveer!
OT: I somehow get the feeling many Hindi movies from the '60s & '70s were picturized here. I can picture Shammi Kapoor dancing around with the locals on the slopes of these hills..

And quiet flows the Tirthan....-264223930_szfvbl.jpg

This is the decent version HDR

A few more pics for you

There is something off, it looks oversharpened. So far none of my HDR efforts have succeeded, but I have seen some fantastic results from others.

Not my pic, so I am just providing link:

I think its the diffraction effect of a small aperture F/20.
As for HDR, its from a single RAW file, thats why its not that exotic. However here is an old image from my archives

That is a multi exposure blend.
Another one from multi exposures

I think HDR fom multiple images look good, but not from single images.
