I shot these from my home itself...these birds come daily just that they r too quick and today I patiently waited for them to settle down to take pics :D

I really wanted to go for sling bag coz they r easy to carry around...but the bag was costlier also and that 300mm was another issue

^Damn, the new coupon is viral since 3 days. You could have saved 385 bucks :(
Do check deal thread regularly (although I didn't posted this there, but I will surely from next time).

I couldn't find any place in flipkart to use a coupon code. Some coupon codes are floating around, but the problem where do I enter them? I have gone through the order process 3/4 times but ... :(

When did I said coupons were for flipkart? :| They were for ebay.

Ah lol, sujoy bought from flipkart and your suggesting coupon seemed to imply the same. :p Anyhow, I can still see some coupon code for flipkart in FlipKart.com Coupon Codes - all coupons, discounts and promo codes for flipkart.com, guess its fake then :|

This was shot 7km's from Dhordo Village .Dhordo is about 80km north of Bhuj[major town of Kutch in the state of Gujarat]. I've earlier posted single shot from the 68 shots taken in total .My plan was to shoot 2 hours of star trail,but like I said earlier our bus got stuck in sand so I had to cut short. Given a chance ,I would love to go again to complete the Star Trails :)

D700 + 68 Pictures stacked of 30 sec each, which is about 34minutes in total.

Real good shots stuge. How did you get that encircling effect? :eek:

And how are your pics so bright even in night conditions as mentioned by you, especially the wandering in rann of kachch pic. :?

And you must consider sending your pics in some photo competition. :)

Lowepro Adventura 160 looks small

*t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTXmCWZ_QYrI7zuE3QAeeYRYxtLk6mH_LN1_t4-SdKkslIhpFD54g

I think it will carry less than ur slingshot

I have a Fujifilm C20 cam (very entry level, 2.9K), when I take pics in dark/night conditions the black looks washed out, technically whats the reason for this? The same happens even in my N73.

Is there any tool/software which can compensate this?

Its normal and it happens coz of flash ....when pro people takes pic at night and black looks clear black thats due to no flash used :)

u can use any software and increase the contrast

Full Moon plus flash + long exposure + Patience ;).e 2-3 mins to get the foreground exposed.
Stuge : Excellent shots. Please give a detailed explanation. And yes, wondering if sensor gets heated.

I've given exif in most of the pictures .Full tutorial for each and every picture will not be easy here .Tell me for which picture you want detailed explanation.

Sensor heating doesn't affect picture of 4-5 min exposure long.

Stacked in Lighten mode using Photoshop .

No ,Sensor won't get heated up for 30 sec exposure .I've no clue why you guys are so worried about sensor heating :O
