@critzle: good shots. BTW what is the object in post #5274 image no.7 (the red ball)

@ serpent16 : blurring the objects by photo editor looks odd.

Criztle,
Thank you... You have quite a collection of cameras :)

Serpent,
I don't know whether its foggy or focus is not correct.

Arian,
I like that Hill shot (day), Temple shot (night) and that hill view shot. I guess there is something wrong with the night shot of houses/buildings on hills. I don't know... may be little over exposed or hand held long exposure shot or bigger aperture for a landscape shot. I don't know, I'm just saying...

Thanks Sujoy & nac.. @nac, i guess its because of the camera shake.. it was taken handheld.. where as the second-last pic i used a tripod.

Arian,
Nice and sharp...

After trying for about 5 days to capture lightning shot, finally I got it in my camera today. But it didn't come good. Needs too much patience. With no tripod, and in rain I got to put the camera well inside the room to avoid rain water and with small doorway I couldn't focus on the sky and it's hard to take that lightning shot (at least for me it's tough one to take).

Here is the lightning shot

Over exposed

Still over exposed

It's better than the above two.

Thank you Sujoy and Ritvij.

Yes Sujoy, nobody would dare to put their camera in rain. Luckily here its raining for the last 5 or 6 days, and it gives me the opportunity to try it everyday. Those water splash shot too was shot when I was in the mood to capture this lightning shot but with heavy rain I started trying that splash shot. I had to wipe off the water many a times that day. Luckily there were lightning today before rain started. I was little free to be in the open terrace to click at the open sky. You know, I have clicked around or over 300 photographs to capture that lightning. Out of that I just managed to get only 5 lightning shot.

Ritvij,
You are asking for your compact one right? Tripod for around 1000 would be suffice, I think. But if you are gonna upgrade to SLR, you should be looking for a better one.

@ritvij for a point and shoot any local will do...even for a superzoom like hx100v any local will do...check slik or more cheaper one.

But if u r going for a dslr in future...u will have to spend at least 3k on tripod

Greats shots @nac .. i am really bad with lightning shots.. :(

I have a Q.. What can be a BETTER/SHARPER alternative to the 18-55 kit lens ?? also what brand :)
hows the sigma 18-125.. guessing if its better than the nikkor 18-105.. :p

Arian the current trend is to replace 18-55with tamron 17-50 f2.8 non vc which cost 20-22k ...its fast lens but dont have vr....or if u want more flexibility u can get 18-105..its good

I always prefer nikon lenses more but since nikon 17-50 2.8 cost around a lakh tammy is good vfm
