thanks nac & sujoyp. I was fiddling with the ISO, Contrast, WB & Exposure settings to get the perfect balance to capture the best possible shot, but, the pics came up too grainy, and unfortunately, the silver streak on the edges of the clouds disappeared as the sun moved up.
@ nac: it's not a fence but an overhead electrical wires (HVDS), as they have put up all over Delhi. Thanks for pointing out. I should have taken care of that. Now have cropped it.

i am not a pro to tell you whats correct or wrong, just my feelings, hence nothing personal/no offense
1st one: sky look good, perhaps you tried motion capture. increase AV and ISO. tell me 256 sec means what, if its in seconds, 4.2 minute is too high, so just try between 1/15 of sec and 2 sec, AV would be f/2.4 or high. dont let the darkness come into your pic.
2nd one: too dark apart from sky, try with large av, also control Tv and ISO. perhaps you also tried some adjustment in PS too (not know just feel) ....
happy shooting.

bumpNac 1st one is nice...sky came beautiful....2nd one is too much black in it
I think I shouldn't apply strong contrast...Thank you
Choudang, Thank you...
With this tiny little sensor and with almost no light, 1/15 of sec won't do anything but black image. Even 15sec didn't show reasonable enough details in the picture.
Yeah, that's the widest possible aperture settings I could use... Yeah, as you suggested I could have used higher ISO and faster shutter like 1-2min...
Thank you...
Two more night shots for your C&C

Now see the first pic, i guessed you have reduced the shutter speed (128 from 256) while same ISO and f/3.4 and things are visible. just shoot 3-5 shoots with diff shutter speed like 16/32/64/128/256 and see the diff. if you use long shutter speed while light is reducing, it will produce dark pic.

Choudang, It was dark because of my pathetic PP work not because of longer exposure (I don't know whether it will produce dark if used ultra long exposure).
lm2k, Do you see merger occurred in that image???
That's the max I could do on that shot. Actually I put the camera on the floor. Could have avoided if tried in an open ground...
Thank you guys..

@nac I really like your initial 256s exposures... Long exposures are supposed to look that way. Maybe if this was a river bank or a beach, this shot would have been epic!

Nice one Prashant... Before reading your lines, I thought it was a moon. One thing... you can clone out the spike like things at the bottom of the image.

It is a post processing effect called vignetting. Gives the image a classical look ( old film cameras produced it by default. It was considered a defect at that time). My aim was to focus on central subject without cropping

Actually, he is in focus. The thing is he couldn't stand-still for 2 mins.
In fact, he swung his arm once to get rid of buzzing mosquito around his ears. Thank you...I am sure there should be another way around to take this shot...

^ Double exposure but our cams don't have that mode... So blend in PS
Or use flash.. and lond exposure. Once flash is off you can ask him to to go away

Yeah, I was thinking something like this... But didn't know neither the technical term nor we can do it with in-camera mode. Thought we could do it in PP, only if I know how to do it
But.... doesn't camera capture when he walks away from the frame???
