@Sujoy: Your first pic has Angrybirds look and third one is just amazing.

@Jagg89: I never tried HDR, but this time I had shot image with bracketing, so here is result:

@kjuvale the cloud in HDR look soo good...sadly I dont have bracketing opton in my cam...will try manually when I have a tripod

the first pic was a example to show thin focus area ...

@ Sujoy: I know about the low dof in using ETs. What I meant about the tilted perspective stuff was this:

In this image the upper portion is out of focus.

In this image the whole thing is in focus:

Btw you didn't give me the eBay seller's link.

Oh and btw, in macro lenses also dof is low.

 

[sujoyp]

ook I understood but that dont work with insects...but point taken

how come macro lens have low dof when people can take pic of whole butterfly with that at one go...with my setup I can only take butterfly face or wings in focus...people even use macro lens like tamron 90mm for potrait work

the seller name is balajiartcolection

@kjuvale nice natural looking HDR! you can still increase the details a bit on buildings and the pathway to give it a more dramatic feel... and i think you forgot to remove ghosts..

Yup I actually wanted you to try this method for the feather

how come macro lens have low dof when people can take pic of whole butterfly with that at one go...with my setup I can only take butterfly face or wings in focus...people even use macro lens like tamron 90mm for potrait work

Look let me elaborate a bit:
DoF and Bokeh depends on a number of factors:
Aperture, distance of the object from the lens, distance of the background from the subject.

When you are using extension tube the subject distance is really low, around few inches. But when you are using macro lenses with long focal lengths like 90mm and 105mm, you get more working distance.
When you are using this lens to take portrait, you are gaining even more working distance from the subject. So more portion of the subject is in focus.



And thanks for the seller link

^^ ok I will try soon...I am too tired now to do that now

This man was waiting for the bus & i was waiting for a take-away parcel from a nearby hotel. Its was a mere coincidence, that both of us were waiting.

As always, comments, critiques & more are welcome.

Any suggestions to improve on these?

@faun ur flight pics great...do u live near airport? or u have bought 100-400 mm lens already

Nah, same old 18-105. I live near vimannagar. Already spend my dough on PC upgrade :/ (was thinking of a good IEM or lens)

Actually the lizard was waiting for pray very calmly and the horizon is originally vertical...I made it horizontal...pic was taken by nikkor 55-200mm VR

Sharpness in image is very good. I thought you used ET and ninjaed up to the lizard.

I need motivation for that. Cannot leave my comfortable bed.
