@toofan - Is that image shot from a mobile? Nice rangoli & lamps. :)
I too spent the last night trying to get some good pics of lamps. Will post them later since I got to go LCD hunting now. :D

And yes my GF, Canon SX100 IS is back with me. The friend returned it in the same mint condition as I had lended it to him.

@Toofan - Taken with a Tripod on the lowest ISO i.e. 80.
I had camera set on a tripod with timer & then shielded the lamp with a book from side to prevent the slight breeze from blurring the flame. At first I was shooting without shield & because of low ISO the breeze would always make the flame blurry.

@stuge - The shot is nice considering you took it from a train. Its only that it doesn't brings the viewer attention to the tomb.

I want to shoot fireworks today. Any special tips to do that although I had thought what I had to do. Personally I don't like fireworks but will enjoy shooting them.

Some things I would take into account when shooting fireworks,

1) You need to rest your camera on a tripod or a rigid surface. This is very important.

2) Most of the cameras take some time focussing on fireworks & sometimes due to this you may miss a shot. A quick remedy would be to set the focus on infinity & take snaps.

3) If you want a smooth look to those fireworks shoot at lower ISO but remember the lower the ISO the higher the shutter speed & hence more are the chances of blur if you bump the tripod or shoot handheld.

4) You can shoot handheld but then you will need to crank up the ISO. If you use a normal-prosumer camera like I do, going above ISO 400 will give you nothing but just noisy images. Avoid using ISO shift feature of your camera.

hm why will anybody bump the tripod .unless one is surrounded with junglies :p..kidding

in b/w toofan : since you are using p&s make sure you use timer(2sec one ) to shoot pic .it calls for hit and trial method ,much worse than lightinig lol

@Cool 5:I know that tomb can't be seen(its not a main subject in that pic ) .While given that title, my brain went grazing ..haha :D

@toofan :well thats my perception bro ;)
