^^ yh m feeling the need for a 1.4g and 55-300 already

u mean 50mm 1.4G ...but I didnt like 50mm maybe I will like 35mm more...50mm is just too tight..This is the reason people nowdays get Tamron 17-50 2.8 non-OS as kit lens

 

[prabhu.wali]

yes 17-50mm makes more sense,wide + potrait

 

[sujoyp]

it cost 21k...one of my friend recently purchased it with D7000+tamron 17-50 ....will check them on sunday

cool but wouldn that be something like a prime 18-55

 

[sujoyp]

Tamron 17-50 dont have fast focusing like Nikon AFS nor it have stabilization like 18-55 have VR

But as its fast enough @f2.8 we get very good shutter speed and we can take handhold shots easily ....yes it reduces the need of prime a bit ..but do remember no zoom can be compared to primes in bokeh and sharpness

yup totally agree on that ,prime is what m looking for

srk: the first cycle shot is made with the cameramen riding the cycle and then took the pic, with low shutter speed, may be 1/15 or even less.

2nd is more easy to get. A slow shutter speed 1/15 and lower (lower is best), A tripod and a still subject. Wait for the moving train to. If the train has high speed 1/15 will do the job, slower it is slower the shutter speed needed. say 1/2 sec or even lower.

It will be easy to use Shutter Priority mode here (or TV mode on canons) . you will set the shutter speed and camera will determine other feature like ISO and Aperture.

For shooting a moving car you will have to learn the technique of Panning. google it. its easy but hard to get perfect results.

Hope this helps.

some more for feedback and critiques.
First time attaching images from facebook.

Sujoy: very good results. Liked 1st and 3rd more.

Sujoy,
I like 4th and 3rd.

 

[sujoyp]

Thanks toofan & nac for liking the pics

Toofan nowdays it seems u r putting much more efforts on composition and background and left magnification isnt it


Guys I am surprised to see olympus EPL1 cost only 19k...y dont we consider it...its quality is much better then any p&S and it have in-body stabilisation...also u can fit any lens on it using adapters

@sujoyp The hut with the internal lighting looks good (4th snap).

Experimented with shutter speed. A few captures. Ofcourse there is a bit of shake in the pictures that i need to resolve.

Skr,

2nd one is a nice try... Since you don't have tripod, set the camera in the compound wall or somewhere flat. Set it in self timer, you would get a better one. It's hard to avoid hand/camera shake with a handheld camera when shutter speed is slow.

^^ good going this is called rear sync(flash mode)

I took the portrait from moving bus , not thinking about composition as of now. Trying to understand how to set best settings based on subject.

Abt the potrait, I am still struggling to get a fine focus...

@lm2k first and last is my fav carry on!

 

[sujoyp]

@lm2k 3rd one is best for me...
1st have direct sunlight issue
2nd could be great but the bright sky is not good for bokeh (blue bright spots)
4th one more things in focus needed...
