@Toofan liked 3rd one , but flower is little dull.

here is photo of Sahyadri mountains as seen from Sinhagad.
It was very difficult to take photo, it was little foggy or may be because of increased pollution in Pune areas :(

Kapil: I am loving your shots now. Keep posting. I will suggest if you want to improve then start posting on JJMehta forum for better critiques. Abhinav is the only one here who is master in Landscapes here. And in these lots and lots of pics, its difficult to comment on a single shot for anyone. So Abhinav (Stuge) can't help much.

@toofan Your 'flower in the glass' is quite artistic. But your outdoor macros are just amazingly wonderful!!!:doublethumb:

@kjuvale Looks like a painting on canvas. Wow!!!:clap2:


Today the sky offers a pairing of the Moon and the Jupiter. Just tried to capture as far as possible with my camera.

First the moon

@toofan If you have read my query on the flash - regarding red tone - and seen the attached pictures can you give some inputs?

skr: I liked the flash shot for its tone, its looking more natural then the without flash.. Actually your both the shots have white balance problems.

When using the flash change the wb to flash and on other occasions as per the conditions to get the natural colours. This also depends upon which picture style you are using eg: vivid, lanscape, portrait, etc etc.

You could also keep a white paper with you and set the custom white balance for the situations. for this google or read your camera manual.

thanks friends. another one and with better d.o.f.

Kjuvale,
Your landscape looks cool. Fog gives cool tone to your picture, it's nice.

This below one is inspired by @toofan. Originally shot with flash. I used photoshop to crop and slightly adjust the brightness to get the look of @toofan's captures.:eek:

@prabhu.wali Congrats and happy clicking.:thumbs:


Friends, I think I resolved the red tone issue with flash - helped by your inputs. There is an option of 'custom white balance' when flash is on. This automatically adjusts the picture tone based on the availabe light. Along with this the 'flash power' and 'negative exposure' can be manipulated to get the right brightness.

Without 'custom white balance' - flash is on. Skin has a red tone

After using 'custom white balance' - flash is on. The skin looks a lot more natural.

Ofcourse the white balance and exposure can be made better. But just wanted to show the difference.


Another macro.....

Yes ofcourse it needs to be fine tuned. Just wanted to show the difference with little manipulations.
