:sad: I didn't. My whole time was wasted by guests. Who keep coming one after other. As soon as i was reaching to terrace, someone shouting from Gate Vimal Kahan ho.
Now I will have to wait for 1 year.

Cool I like the Portrait of Ritwik the Most. So nicely Shot and everything is perfect about that shot.
Second I like Pranay shooting down his mates(crows) from rock edge.
All the golden glory that shot has.

@Toofan - Which portrait of Rhitwick? The very first one in which he is seen walking on the rocks? or the second one?

@krow - To finally techalomaniac converts into a crow. In next meet I will capture you in front of the sun ;)

Nice shot. Maybe you should have gone closer a bit. And when are you going to post the pics you shot yesterday?

I was trying to do that only, clicked this last saturday. Was seeing if I could make the clouds look blue. Anyway, some PP is due I think. It is very over-exposed. :)

Yes the first one.

Nope they are talking to each other.

Maniac: Very very nice Picture the last one. In those conditions where the sky is brighter you can take two or three shots using tripod. First setting the exposer for sky then on second setting the exposure for the darker tones In this images the Hilly area and down side of it. And then you can take a overall exposure image like you have taken. And then do the PP in Photoshop. Merging them together. Its the HDR effect If I am not mistaking.

Here is the original one.

He He. Thanks.
And it is not called HDR but it is known as Exposure Bracketing. Read your camera manual to learn about exposure bracketing.

@stuge - Great Images stuges.

All I did was take the pic in manual mode with high shutter speed and Med F value. I dunno what HDR effect is.

Here is the original one.

Look, I don't want to sound rude or bossy, but your PP spoiled the pic for me. This original pic is awesome. The baby looks so much more philosophical to me now. Maybe some day he will be greater than Socrates himself. :)

Good composition.
I feel it is a spot down over perfect exposure. Just my feeling.

Feel free to criticise all my works. I am open to it totally as I think that's the best way to improve. My photography is by no means even half as good as many who post in this thread and I want to improve by leaps and bounds, which is only possible if you guys gimme some constructive criticism. :)

As I said previously, I only played with the shutter speed and aperture value in manual mode. Please enlighten me as to what you guys are talking about. :)

Yeah, Stuge's photography rocks. :)

Exposer bracketing is a camera feature but I am speaking of taking both the foreground and the background(brighter) in somewhat brightness. I don't know what it called.
Cool Does our camera supports the Exposour bracketing feature?

Maniac: I didn't do any thing to the child's face. I just removed the disturbing background. May be you are right let me thing about that.

And exposure bracketing is taking three images of one scene in different exposures. -2 0 +2 exposures which the camera does at the same time for us.

I am saying that in that shot you composed the shot with the compensating exposure which is by default. this makes the foreground darker. But If you would have taken another shot (for example) by lowering the shutter speed and increasing the exposer so that the foreground become equally bright as the background (sky) in the first shot. Then you merge those two shots in Photoshop to make the whole shot equally bright.

Yes my camera does support exposure bracketing but I haven't tried it anytime.

Under exposure bracketing, the camera takes 3 images - One with a normal exposure, one under-exposed & the last over-exposed. Then you can determine which image is good.

BTW toofan my camera doesn't allows me to compensate exposure under MANUAL mode. This is really strange as exposure compensation is available in other semi-auto modes but not under MANUAL mode :shock:

Where is that function lies in Camera As I too have the similar one SX110IS.

I too thought about that first then the conclusion I reach is that If you have to take it under exposed then just change the shutter speed or the F stop. And that way we have much control over exposure so no need of exposure compensation.
While other modes are used when we have to apply some settings say a shutter speed of 500 for stopping the action but if it was too sunny out there the only thing left is the exposure compensation to decrease the overall light.
