@Stuge - Thats a lovely catch.

Are they gonna allow cameras (and atleast 70-300m lens) in F1 race? I am planning to attend.


Bloom


In this series, I have tried to shoot the lotuses in various stages of blooming.

Hi Guys
I understand most of you guys are photo gear and methods experts.Iam goind to sound a bit foolish asking advise of the the camera I having in mind.
Kindly bear with me.
Iam just a average joe who is having a 10 year old Nikon Cool Pix E775 Digital camera.(point and shoot). It does not have much zoom but does reasonable photos in sunlight and brightly lit rooms.

Iam thinking of buying this budget (baby DSLR) high zoom camera.

Flipkart.com: Fujifilm FinePix S2950: Camera

I read the reviews in Amazon.Video seems not too good.But basic photos + zoom may be ok.
I can get this from Letsbuy.com @ Rs 8150(with out 4GB card but with No brand camera bag by prepaying with credit card or @Rs 8599 on Cash on delivery)
Flipcart -no discount -Cash on delivery @Rs 9350-with 4 GB card+ branded bag..
I read somewhere with Tripod this camera takes better photo with out shaking.
The next alternative is this.But is costing almost 40% more.

Could you guys come down from your "DSLR" high standards and give some suggestions to camera newbie like me!:wink:

^^ Point and shoot cameras can never match a DSLR quality due to sensor, lenses and various other factors.

I'd recommend you go for a second hand entry level DSLR - canon or nikon - in your specified budget.

Thanks a_medioco for your suggestion.
But I dont buy anything second hand not even if given free.
I did not want a DSLR (which starts from rs 20-30K onwards).Just a better zoom point and shoot with slightly better options.
I shall open a new thread soon.
But Iam sure impressed with all you guys passion for photography and finer aspects.

^Get a camera which has manual control.

Play with Shutter speed.
Mainly the lower the shutter speed the longer the trail is.
A tripod is must or at least place the cam on a solid ground.

Focus and press shutter and wait.

Thnx, It can't be done by holding in hands?

Even if with slight shake you won't get perfect trails. Truy it out in real. You will see the difference and would come to know the optimum setings for ur cam.

Guys I need your help with my light box

I made this light box for product photography...but I am not getting enough light inside

*lh4.googleusercontent.com/-vYhRJPWkZ3g/TqVWTmsQh0I/AAAAAAAAGzw/erl5EYNZp0w/s800/DSC_9385.JPG

There is also option for a bulb at the bottom to remove shadows below the product..:smile:

I am also planning to get a acrylic sheet to get reflections

I made it with the help of this link - How to Make An Inexpensive Light Tent – DIY

How do I put more light...is there any powerful mini cfl

Please suggest:)

Sujoy u are using those cfls without reflectors,
Try pasting something like aluminium foil inside a concave bowl,drill hole in it and suspend those cfl inside this concave reflector(little trial and error to get exact position), like those parabolic reflectors used in old light houses, u see cfl's act as pt source and give light in all directions,focus it .also u can use a positive lense but its diameter must be large and focal length must be least.(placing cfl @principle focus of the lense)
;-)
Btw u took very nice macro,and lot of effort get that nice light tent
