1. Liked your idea of QR code as watermark. A bit intrusive but fresh thinking.
2. In the 4th image a little PS magic to create lens flare (and maybe some blur/brush stroke to create the refraction effect seen in extreme summer). Otherwise it looks very plain

@sujoy Thanks. First attempt at something like this in PS

I realized after taking the photo that flash would have helped..



I have some questions(Some are unrelated but didn't know which thread to ask)..

1.I loved the bokeh photography posted by toofan ,nac, pranav0091 and marvelousprashant (from the portion of this thread I have seen so far..)
My question is, for bokeh we have focus much beyond the small light source or behind?
And how do you get different shapes?


2. Is it possible to make a intervalometer for a P&S camera without a 3 pin connector? (Preferably without hacking)
As in the pic above I have an Arduino Uno microcontroller. Will that be of any help?
(I have a Canon Powershot SX240HS)


3.My friend is interested in buying a bridge camera with a budget around 20k.. He is unable to decide b/w Nikon P510 (18.6k on ebay) and Panasonic FZ60 (19.4k on Flipkart). Which is better? Should he consider Fuji HS30EXR?

@nac petals towards center are nice and sharp but margins not very clear at peripheral regions. Also the last picture has some highlight clipping. Overall they look good. Some PP might help in enhancing the lost details

Also you have lost your watermark in last image

Click,
Wouldn't everything be in focus in product photography? I don't know... I am just asking...]

I tried to get the details by reducing exposure but the flower gets darker. Yeah, :) watermark is not visible in the last one... I should create a darker one. :)

You will see the other one (aperture in Tv mode) in orange when shutter pressed halfway, which means that the exposure has crossed the limit. So adjust until you get it in white... If it's OK you can turn on "Safety shift".

Thank you guys for commenting on my photographs... :)

Nice one Prashant... Crop or clone out the electric line...

people use a small quantity of sugar in water to make it more thick...or u can also use honey

Thanks for the tip Sujoy... I have read this in Aroon Kalandy's tips but didn't strike when I tried.

@nac.... Nice composition of the flower. I felt the yellow was a tad bit too bright. However nice bokeh.

An attempt at manual focus, focussing on the peas at the front and gradually blurring, as you move on to the top....

Mr Bean (or is it peas?!!!)
