yeah the flower is blurry, it was hard to focus with so much wind.. and camera in hand. Had to hold the plant with one hand and camera on other... :)

Stuge: As usual a wow shot. Nice and lovely colors.

Ins-Ani: Tokri shot would have been a cracker if you would have composed it correctly. You should have left some space on left side. Conversion is perfect.

And this thing which grows in Himalayan tree is called " Kshiyont" (K- silent here). Its a fruit which grows in Pine trees. It contain seeds of Pine tree which are very tasty to eat but needs effort to gain them.
In english these are called "Pine Cone".

@stuge - Nice snaps.

Again wonderful composition and colors.
The shimla one is also excellent.

Stuge: whenever I took images like this. I get the sky excellent but the foreground become dark.
I know how to solve this problem. But I want to know what you did in this particular shot. Did you took multiexposure shots?
some advice please.

@toofan : use auto bracketting or use spot metering then click two pictures ( one for the sky and other for the foreground .Later blend them [don't forget to use tripod ] .well,I've both the options either use filters or blend pictures .I do both :D.one of the reasons why landscape photography is never considered easy with ever changing light .

If you have any image ,which you want to get it fixed ,then send me (Only raw :NO jpeg ]
@izzikio : Its a blended image .

example(posted in the previous posts as well ) : image below is not blended ( I used reverse grad filter ) .its a single picture .

Democracy is a myth
The tokri in B&W, i loved the background.. its an old house.. almost 40-50 years old built by russians.. the background gives the feel..

I liked this one, but rather keeping the object in center...how would it look if it is placed at the corner of the frame and shot is taken a few feet far?

Would u try that...
keep b/w theme...

All the best for you photography.

@toofan, thanks for the advice.
As i have left for leh without the image on my laptop, i will seek a fortnight to rework on the image.

But since i will be clicking some pics in leh, lets see if i can keep the composition..

@gigacore - Check with the tripod in local shops. I doubt it will take the weight of your DSLR especially during windy situations.

@all - Any tips for shooting birds in flight with prosumer camera like Canon SX 100 IS. Yeterday I spotted an eagle which was flying in no specified direction. I tried using AF & MF but both of them were very tough to lock focus. Also since the zoom was all on 10X max it was difficult to get the bird in frame & lock focus with shutter & aperture. Do note I don't have a DSLR & optical viewfinder.
