[sujoyp]

nice one jamesbond ....btw u need to work on processing...the colors seems strange greenish here

 

[theserpent]

@nac thanks

@serpent You can get long exposure of water in evening. Use manual mode and keep the exposure compensation bar just below normal (see red box in image below) to get the perfect shot

@serpent Exposure depends on ISO, Shutter speed and aperture. For Smooth water you will need 1 second or longer shutter speed (ideally >5sec)

So set the ISO to 80 and aperture to 8, then increase the shutter speed till exposure bar (on the right bottom seen in red box in my screenshot) is slightly below the middle mark so that your image is properly exposed and without blown out skies

A few of my shots

[arian29]

Thanks @all .. this trip i used the Cokin nd filters, was great.

@mastervk not much post processing.. just a little saturation and contrast. pics 1059 and 1025 are HDR

 

[sujoyp]

@prashant nice pics...2nd pic is capsicum...did u cut it like that???

@arian but where did u use ND filters...there is no water flow or clouds ?? u should have used CPL instead

 

[marvelousprashant]

@sujoy thanks. Yes I did cut the capsicum like that I was trying to cook it actually

[lm2k]

@arian29 nice shots
@ marvelousprashant nice
that one of the butter fly ... u zoomed in to go close?

 

[audiophilic]

Nice thread. I should sub to it to get more ideas for myself. Nice shots by everyone. I'll post mine too.

 

[marvelousprashant]

@arian Thanks. In your PGT_1059 I think you have added some extra clarity resulting in halo in sky surrounding the temple Otherwise very good shots esp 2058 and 1025.

@im2k yes I did zoom

@audiophillic welcome!

Sunset Panorama + HDR by marvelprash, on Flickr

This isn't exactly sunset and the sun was too bright. So I had to use bracketing.

The panorama comprises of 4 images (12MP) stitched together using Miceosoft ICE resulting in a 38MP image.

Each of the 4 images was an HDRi comprising of 5 bracketed shots merged using Photomatrix Pro (Natural preset)

So I had to take 5*4 = 20 images for this shot... Quite happy with the end result
