Actually its about 100 Kms from Nainital. Its nothing in comparition of plains but for hills its 3 hours of journey.
Kausani is very very beautiful place and Known for Bird watchers.And from there you can watch a full range of Himalayas. If you can post more pics that would be good.

No flash or studio lights. It was taken with sunlight coming through a window with blinds at around 12 in the noon. It was slightly cloudy at that time.

I'm damn sure you're using a good camera. Such results are not possible on a normal 10k consumer grade camera. Which camera CJ?
And yes, the pics are good, especially the first one. The second one seems a spot over perfect exposure, that can be very acceptable though.

There are many people who can get great results with cheap point and shoots. I was reviewing the Sony A330. It's gone back now

Thought so.
Still a DSLR is a DSLR. With great price come great snaps.
You guys are lucky still, you get to handle so many latest products while we have to stick with the one we purchase for a long time.

"With great price come great snaps." Probably the most ridiculous statement ever. Go to Flickr and find photos from a Canon PowerShot A480 or something. You'll find some seriously impressive stuff from Rs. 7,000 cameras. If you look for cameras over Rs. 2 lakh, you'll also find equally horrible shots..
Then let's see you say ""With great price come great snaps..."

Offcourse, I didn't meant it entirely depends upon the camera. I know even low end camera's can shoot great if one shoots within their capabilities.
But then a professional photographer can't reproduce the same photo he took with Canon EOS 5D Mark II with Canon Powershot A480. Can he? No!
Even a low end DSLR will beat a 10k model black-blue, offcourse not considering the poor skill of the shooter. I hope that's clear.

@toofan: amazing photo of the beetle ......amazing control on the depth of feild....what is the camera and lens that you are using?
@all: An expensive camera helps but the real stuff is the photographer, a good one tends to turn even the limitations of the camera into amazing shots...

izzikio, that's a beautiful scene. But the tilt is irritating. It's easy to tilt the camera while shooting without knowing it and I sometimes do it myself.
You can rotate an image with Irfanview by any angle in steps of 0.01 degree. Your photo will look better if it's rotated by about 2 degrees to the right.

Nice picture, toofan.
Now, without peeking at the explanation below, can anyone tell what this is?

It's the stinger of a honeybee. The bee left it behind when it stung my wife and I took it off with a pair of tweezers.
If it had happened during the day, I would have been able to take a bigger and more detailed picture. But it was night time, there wasn't sufficient light and since dinner was already on the table, I didn't want to go to the trouble of arranging some additional lightning. So I had to use the flash. I shot in macro mode, but if I put the camera too close to the subject, the lens housing would have cast a shadow on the subject. So this was the most close-up shot I could take.
BTW, although the sting of a honeybee is not bery painful to most people, some, like my wife, are very sensitive to insect stings. When a bee stings her in the neck, her face swells up like a balloon and she finds it very painful. It can even be life-threatening if the allergic reaction obstructs the respiratory tracts. I always have antihistamine shots and tablets handy in the house.

@ izzikio_rage: That pic was shot from a cannon sx110 IS. Not a DSLR
and the light post which is in foreground of the pic tells us that you have a mind of a photographer.
@pimpom I could not figure out that its a bee sting without the explanation below it. Because no one can think that a bee sting could be photographed
Yes the shadow of camera tends to come over images and it happens with me also many time while Indore shooting.
