@cool, what if I hook some load on to the accessory hook?

@cool, what if I hook some load on to the accessory hook?

You can, that's what's mostly the hook is used for. I have VPT-1200 and in strong wind it wobbles. I don't have much faith in vivitar but for price its good.

^^ This was shot from a moving bus.. I didn't use view finder or the LCD screen.. was a blind shot... this joined the road I was traveling at an curve and was almost perpendicular. For me, this one is an cool shot!

^ This one was shot by my friend on his Canon 500D. And I took most of the pics sitting beside that window.

And I look awful in this pic since we didn't slept that night. We went 80 km off bangalore to do sky observation and astrophotography with some BAS (Bangalore Astronomy Society) guys. But sadly.. the weather changed drastically in the night and it became cloudy and it even started raining.. so we just were able to discuss some stuffs about universe and other science stuffs and in the morning took few photos..

^ Me (since I shot it) and couple of others are missing in this pic. Hoping to go on clear and moonless night next time and take some cool pictures.

I am sorry for the inconvenience, but i am on low bandwidth here.

 

[Cool G5]

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

@toofan - Like the 2nd portrait. In first can u tell why his face appears so soft?

@INS - Nice shots.

 

[Stuge]

@G5 : you will need to shoot in countinous mode with normal to infinite focus + you will need fast shutter speed + change in ISO (depending on the time of the day ) .shooting birds in flight with any point and shoot is vey tough ,and with 10X zoom,slight shake with cause blur .

also regardng toofans picture ->1st picture looks soft because his face isn't focussed properly .other possible reason (as I see he used flash) is slow shutter speed

@toofan :nice

in btw : my sunrise picture was explored on flickr ..cool to have pictures getting explored every now and then

 

[toofan]

Cool: thanks for your kind words.
As stuge said a slow shutter speed + the kid is in motion+ the autofocus used focusing on the helmet instead of eyes +less depth of field used for isolation.

Stuge; thanks man. But what is this "explored image on flicker."

Stuge & others: We are planning a tour to "Valley of flowers & Hemkund Shahib." Built the confidence to climb at least 12 km per day on Hills on foot and join us. Earlier we were planning to Leh but as stuge suggested and we don't know much about there and its very costly also so it is done for some time in near future.

Cool: second one is nicely taken. In first one the plain sky and over saturation is not looking much effective. but the moment captured is excellent.

 

[Gigacore]

@toofan, @cool: Thank you!

@Toofan : I will let you know
"EXPLORE" is a showcase of top 500 most interesing images for a particular day .

G5: I didn't find anything wrong with the 1st picture thats creative overexposure .Even though it seldom works with landscapes .depending upon how you process them ,thats where the meat lies .

@toofan - Yeah, I know it might not appeal much. Actually the original pic was nothing to show about, so did some PP.

@Stuge - The first pic is awesome, second one isn't bad too. So did you like my processed pic?

@INS - Some pics are good while some are not.
