toofan - awesome shots. loved them all, especially the third one. Whats the cost of ET? Is it same as Rs650 listed on ebay?

If you use ET on basic 18-55 lens, would you still need a macro filter?

Thanks Medico. Mine cost Rs 8500.00 as with these you can do all the functions that a lens can do. Means it can do exposure readings.
The Rs 650.00 wont to auto focus(which you don't need anyway in macro photography), No exposure readings are shown on camera. But Many use those. As those were invented earlier then these auto ones.
I had kenko Automatic extension tubes DG.

After these you will not use your closeup filter. There are some threads in JJmehta forum about these check those. It reduces the minimum focusing distance between the lens and the subject.
RAM has just told me that a 50mm lens inverted will provide the 1:1 magnification. And I think lens reversal adapters are quite cheap to go. Check NC's thread for that.

@Chitvan - Loved first and third ones. Is that light in second photo natural or photo-shopped?

By the way guys, I have been using JASC paintshop pro(the very old one same version) since many years. I wish to switch over to photoshop now. Which version you'd recommend?


Hey guys can you tell me good US websites to buy SLR cameras ???

use pricespider.com

It will list all the cheap deals available on various known (and not so known) sites. Ultimately, I got cheapest deal on camerakings (at that time).

yup 2nd one is edited one...same light was already there...but didnt come perfectly...so tried Mystic plugin to make light rays..

dont know about Painshop pro...even i dont have photoshop....used my friend`s one...
he has CS4,but dont used much as my "Digital Photo Professional"(software come with Canon DSLR) do most of the work.

try Paint.Net b4 going for CS4..
Paint.Net has huge number of Plug-ins.
Plugin Index - Paint.NET Forum
no doubt CS4 is awesome for editing...but it takes much time(may be bcoz it has more features) in editing comparing with other simple softwares..

we guys had Photowalk on 2nd Oct...
Few shots from there...

ritwik: good capture.

Gangsta: 2nd and 3rd are best for me.
1st one: you could take it from a lower angle also, including the sea and horizon. if possible.
Last one have looked more beautiful is shot with some clouds or at evening or morning time when the colors are at extreme.
