Thank you sujoy and nac , somehow had missed this thread for some days. I tried to get that rim light thing (guess it comes out well only on people), did get the lens flare in this though

For street photography mostly the moments are split second ones so keep the cam on program mode and on AF. Shutter speed priority is also a good mode if you want to capture motion blurs or panning shots.
Try to talk to the people after you shoot them, it makes you less creepy.
Look for patterns or frame shots that tell a story, Don't spray and pray hoping to get a good shot
Check out flickr/500px before you go out. It'll give you some great ideas
Have fun, its usually a very strange experience if you are a shy person. Hoping to see some awesome clicks

The benefit of being a geek is that you know that even the deleted photos can be recovered easily.
I wouldn't mind deleting them , I know how to get em back.

A couple of ideas for future projects
Benezier method: was just reading about the benezier method of emulating the DOF and field of view that a medium format camera (with an even bigger sensor than a full frame). Seems like a fun thing to do if you are comfortable with using photoshop or other editing programs. does not require a hifi cam to do
Shooting an emotion: this is a task that a couple of pro photographer friends of mine get from their mentors. The idea is to shoot something that will immidiately allow the viewer to identify the emotion that you've chosen, like love (pretty easy) or anger (hard if you are not shooting a portrait). Again can be tired with pretty much any cam
We can always do projects on light painting, star trails, panning etc provided people are interested. What say?

Posted the same thing twice ,looking despo now. Moved it from here Realising it a wrong section and you commented posted it back for relevance and in the other post Nac commented niw cant delete either!
Yes , buying the 100-400L was the original plan but have given up on it since budget is a constraint.But still if I can shore up the funds surely will by the L ,but its distant dream as of now.

SX130 | f/3.4 | 1 min | ISO 80 | F 28mm eq.,
Bought a laser pointer last week. And completed this project. It's been in queue for a long time. This is my 6th project out of 11.
I request sujoy to put an index in the very first post. Links to the posts where we can see details of the projects. If you have links to the posts where the images are posted.
