Lol, they too told me the same over phone.

 

[toofan]

Thanks cool, stuge,a_medico and sujoyp for your kind words.

What 10 MP has to do with Photography? I will suggest you not join them. If they would hv said that DSLR is must then it could be understood.
They just want to make money.

 

[a_medico]

^^^ Even I was like WTF when I read 10MP thing. But then maybe 10mp would be a like a layman term which means the camera would be relatively latest with some basic required configuration and preferably SLR. Dunno.

Heres the reply from National Institute Of Photography:-

Hello

There is no course for 2 days. consider doing 8-days-continuous crash course that will cost you Rs.6000/- The next crash course is scheduled on 23 August. The camera you mentioned is fine.



With Regards,

Prof. Manohar Desai,

Incidentally their site also mentions :-

Not all photography classes are equally good and efficient. To appreciate the difference, please compare the course contents and fees for our courses with all others available elsewhere, get feedback from past students too, you will definitely prefer to learn from us.

Loll...Both are in Dadar.

By the way there's a similar course in St. Xavier's college too.

this just tells me how noob is that institute.why do they need cam with more than 10mp .I suspect they wanna use pictures for their own purpose .

I'm an ex NIPian. My experience with NIP was smooth. I recommend it.

 

[toofan]

Now I think cools experience is good enough to join that institute Go ahead.

It would be better if your camera have a manual setting mode.

That helped me immensely as I could atleast try what was being taught. Most of the students did not have any camera. Now all have purchased a DSLR after the course got over.

Very good pic toofan...saw it on jjmehta..very nice..there i saw someone saying that there is more green...but purple and green r contrast colors..I dont see purple being ignored in green

 

[Cool G5]

Nice colors toofan but why is the bokeh feeling as if it was exaggerated later in PP? The flower is artifically sharp, very sharp that it hurts the image.

 

[toofan]

Thanks Sujoy. Actually he mean with the luminosity of the background being more then the subject. And I learned something from that.

Cool: Thanks for the feedback. I had removed some distractions.
for the rest my LCD is set to a bit low contrast due to my eyes being sensitive towards strong light. May be this is the reason.
At my other working monitor this looks very soft to view.
I will try to compensate for that.

this is from the same stock.

This image too feels sharp to me. Let's see what others have to say.

 

[Stuge]

@toofan :why are you adding soo much of bokeh at the time of post processing ? bokeh looks too artifical .

otherwise pix is alright .

 

[toofan]

Cool and Stuge: thanks for the honest feedback.
I was experimenting to use this image as a season greetings. And got the Idea from my editing of previous image.

Actually In real these images have very ugly bokeh then compared to my earlier images of wild flowers. I will post the originals very soon. I had to resize them and for this I had to log on to my 64 bit O.S.

@toofan :IMO natural bokeh looks better .

@MK89 : Before I go ahead don't expect too much from a point and shoot for low light capability .
FH20 costs $149 in US .I'm sure it will cost more than 6k in indian market (even grey market ).Even A3100 is priced Rs8.5k above .


in my opnion save money ,then get one .6k is just too low for buying camera .
