Sujoy,
Your first doll made me to remind of my first attempt on night shot with little toys.

The last one, nice action capture.

@prabhu the part of temple is nice but y does the sky looks strange blue

 

[kjuvale]

@All: thanks for comments.
@Sujoy: nice shots
@Prabhu: nice capture, did you reduced exposure of sky during PP or applied some effects?

 

[jagg89]

@sujoyp nice shots!

@prabhu nice!

I don't knw if he did some processing for the sky but it looks like it was processed.. an overexposed sky can be made like this by using gradient, i tried it once, really helpful for rescuing such shots!

Sujoy, Jaggs and Kjuvale,
Me too get same sky effect when I shoot bright sky at longer shutter speed. (Doesn't mean 1 or 2 seconds. 1/200th or 1/400 instead of 1/1600th or 1/2000th of a second.

I guess, he shot this one when there was bright light and focus point at the temple. As the temple need little longer exposure to get the details, the sky looks over exposed here.

Sujoy,
As you suggested tried to capture stars when there is no moon.

[jagg89]

@nac 2nd shot is good!

 

[prabhu.wali]

@all yup did the processing in lightroom

 

[nac]

Thank you Sujoy and Jagg..

Sujoy,
That's the full picture resized. I don't know where are those two. If they are in the top (middle) or left top, they should be in the first picture. Point me those two, I'll try capture 'em today.

[prabhu.wali]

i find the first image to be focused on the rails rather than the bird,is that so?

 

[sujoyp]

no prabhu...its focussed on bird...actually the bird is very small soo maybe its looking like that

 

[prabhu.wali]

no prabhu...its focussed on bird...actually the bird is very small soo maybe its looking like that

yh i guess,did u use single focus point?

 

[sujoyp]

yes ...single focus point I used

 

[jagg89]

@sujoyp Great shots! 1st one is my fav. but i think if you darken the bright bkgrnd a bit and add some contrast n saturation it will draw more attention to the bird.. it's still good though btw which lens did you used?

 

[mastervk]

@sujoyp nice shots.. are u using 55-200mm ?

 

[sujoyp]

@jagg Thanks for suggestion but actually I am not good at selective coloring/saturation .....if suppose I increase the contrast and saturation of whole scene the yellow will look really bad I tried that

@mastervk & jagg thanks...and yes I am using Nikon 55-200 AFS VR ....I have to crop a lot due to poor reach but quality of lens is great

 

[mastervk]

@sujoyp..

i was surprised to see your pics as using 55-250 mm i am not getting enough reach to take decent pic of even crow ..i guess cropping is the only way ..

but where to you see these beautiful birds.. i waited more than an hour in the morning but saw only crows in my garden..
