Cool: first one is awesome.
2nd one is nice candid shot but some color balance problem and the left side of image needs a reflector which was not possible for you and me to use.

 

[Stuge]

@tOOFAN: You just contradicted yourself .Candid photography means no posing i.e subject is unaware ,when his or her picture is taken .So ,using reflector is out of question in case of candid .




@cool : both are nice .

anyway ,those biscuits are not oven fresh

@sujoy - Its not just you, most of whom have seen this shot feels so(including me). Thanks.

@stuge - Thanks.

@toofan - As you said it, could not use reflector here as the subject was not knowing I would be photographing him.

@chirag - Congrats & nice snaps.

 

[sujoyp]

@chirag...Congrats buddy for the great purchase...

[toofan]

Abhinav: thanks for correcting me.

chirag: congrats. you seriously need that bro. Which lens?

Monsoon Evening. Tried HDR this time but with a single RAW file. I must say RAW gives more control over the image.

Thanks guys....

@Vimal:

@toofan - Feels Oversaturated.

Very wise decision. The flowers shots all have the print of DSLR over them.

1st and 5the are the best shots.

@toofan - Feels Oversaturated.

I let the saturation boost because of the monsoon evening. Rainy season dear. Colors colors everywhere.
Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks Vimal...
ya kit(18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS) lens of 500D is not that much good....i saw many ppl upgrade to 2nd lens very soon after getting DSLR with kit lens...

so i decided(after many confusion with Tamron 17-50mm F2.8) to buy Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 non OS....
it has benefit at both ends...much wider & tele...

i liked much what Shallow DoF it gives...so started first shots with it...

but i feel without proper macro lens DSLR cant give that macro result what compacts give in macro mode...

 

[chitvan]

first try with 1 RAW HDR..

Chirag: wonderful Image. Very dreamy effect.

Could you tell me how you processed a single RAW file to make a HDR in easy steps. Thanks.

 

[rhitwick]

Tindle effect.....as best as I could.
Captured by my SGS cam...from office.

May I ask why do you wish to go with a Fourth Third camera instead of proper DSLR? I don't think they are still available. Price is expected to be around Rs.30K.

 

[a_medico]

I hate this 10 character error in quick reply.

@ Chitvan - which lens have you used for flowers' close shots? Is it the Sigma one you were mentioning?

By the way friends, I am a second member with Canon Rebel T1i / 500D SLR. But I am a new entrant in photography and don't even know technical terms or specifications. All I know is I will improve a lot in coming days

Started with assembling my cam. Took a while! Started with shooting family member's pics which came out blur. But after some trial and error got some average pics. Will post some soon. By the way, after one day of use, I have already started missing upgraded lens (I knew that beforehand, but my budget was limited. Maybe I'll go for a secondhand upgraded lens in future).

Here's my first image:

Just for my knowledge...actually I could not find them in any shopping site I checked..

But it looked really small and have max all the features...and hey its not four third camera it have full APS-C sized sensor...just that it have no manual control and all controls r in-menu

 

[chitvan]

@Vimal:
have open RAW in Adobe camera raw,
increase exposure to +1.50 then save JPG,
decrease exposure to -1.50 then save JPG,
then save 0.00 exposure JPG,

then generate HDR from Photomatix,
make various changes like...reduce saturation,change gama,change in black,white,details....etc..dont remember every steps...will do again and will save profile...
