Amitabh,
Both the mountain shots, sun rays shot are nice. I like that white flower shot very much.

Medico,
Like the last one.

Arian,
It's kinda disturbing (out of focus thing) in the clean and neat lamp/candle shot. (No offense)
Grill shot is nice.

Sujoy,
What's that macro slider? It's in the tripod or in the camera?

 

[sujoyp]

@amitabh I liked 2nd flower and 3rd clouds but the 4th one is bit underexposed and dark..still its good

@nac here r the pics

@nac
thanks a lot. that white flower shot was taken at shalimar bagh, srinagar. The sun rays shot was at sonamarg , kashmir.
@sujoy
thanks. yes the last one looks a bit darker. it looked ok on the cam lcd. still learning to judge the best settings for a shot.

Nice splash...

Be careful... Don't let the water inside the camera parts...

 

[marvelousprashant]

raindrops and splash by marvelprash, on Flickr

nice one but in bokeh in left side i see a blue ring may be becuz of the abberation of the drops.

i tried a closer macro but at full 3x zoom(used a +ve lense to go closer) the flower bounces like any thing on the screen even on slight breeze

[marvelousprashant]

@sujoy could not get closer because of rain. Also focusing was difficult at night

Very nice HDR. Which software did you use for merging

 

[nac]

lm2k,
Nice HDR... But so much noise???

Is the effect (shallow depth) by camera or editing? Seems to be too much...

nice one but in bokeh in left side i see a blue ring may be becuz of the abberation of the drops.

Actually, those are water drops on the lens...

No. I used manual focus (~2m) on the splash. Bokeh drops were not behind but were at 30-40cm away from lens. What do I call this? Reverse bokeh?

Rhitwick : Very nice pics but don't see any HDR.

 

[rhitwick]

^I do not get your point. What do I miss?

 

[marvelousprashant]

Taking example of your 1st image, the trees and grounds are black (underexposed). In a HDR image underexposed and overexposed areas dont exist. That is why images are taken at multiple exposures so that each part of scene is well exposed. Then they are merged... under- and overexposed areas from each image is filtered out. As there are no shadows or dark regions in HDR image, it has "that glow" responsible for "WTF AMAZING!" comments from whoever sees that photo. HDR images in their true sense look unreal... like video games

Dont see my images for reference... they are ugly. Use google.
