@cyberkid.... Thank you for the information. @pranav.... Yes, strays, especially cats are a lot harder to get. @nac.... They are just sugar. It is a tedious process, involving boiling the sugar in equal quantity of water, filtering the syrup some 5-6 times, and once the syrup is condensed...

Nice variety of captures. @cyberkid.... A very eye soothing flower photo. The shades of yellow on the flower are just so beautiful. @nac.... Nice try. And yes ofcourse, a lot of patience is needed to capture these flutter bys. Cat captures are really captivating. They are natural posers...

@Im2k.... Nice captures. The grand father-grand son picture gives a nostaligic feel because of the black and white, plus nice composition. Lazy mood is written all over the cats face and the picture.:razz:

@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?!!!) IMG_5551 by skr sx130, on Flickr

Exactly a year ago to this date - 23/12/2011 - I got myself a wonderful companion, the Canon SX130IS. Ofcourse, I would again like to recollect the patient guidance given by friends here, especially @sujoyp and @nac.:clap2: Can't really believe its already a year and a year in which, this...

@mastervk.... Pretty 'Kitty' :) @nac.... The stars are possible only with 'hack' I believe, not with a normal sx130. One query though, while letting the camera capture, with exposure of 30 seconds for some 20 frames, did you give any time gaps or is the camera built to take such loads. What...

:doublethumb: Amazing treasure trove of information!!! Let the knowledge keep flowing!!! :doublethumb:

Thanks all for the appreciative and informative inputs. I would like more discussions here. OFCOURSE, POST-PROCESSING OWING TO A HANDICAP IN THE GEAR DEPARTMENT (i.e. not having the features in the camera) IS NOT WHAT THIS DISCUSSION SHOUL BE ABOUT. I would like to put forth my opinion...
