Nice photo! Is it Nat Geo?

Can anyone give tips on how to click nice pics of a car? All I know is turn on camera, point to car and press button.

NAT GEO?? It's the Express Trade Tower-2 located in Sector-132, Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, Noida, Uttar Pradesh.

Okay, I get it, its Nat Geo.
Now can you answer my car query?

Evening is the best time. Choose a slow shutter 1/30 or less. No flash. Try moving the camera in the direction of car while shooting to get panning effect

Sorry mate! I don't have a car as yet. Tried clicking my new bike a couple of months ago, but due to monsoons, I got crappy pic with mud all over the bike.

Another question: How to make small things look big? Like a mini-action figure or doll?

 

[CyberKID]

what are you upto???

 

[sujoyp]

small thing big just take the shot in macro mode ...keep the doll on top of a table ...and shoot it from close in macro mode from down (shoot upwards) the doll will look big

A shot I took somedays back of our office building

Some editing (actually heavy) done on the last image posted. Now milky way is visible a little...

^ All of them are stars? Sometimes I get confused between stars and noise. I thought we needed IR filters for shooting milky way

@nac... Wow!!! Amazing capture using SX130. I am just reading up about the Hack.

Today I purchased Velbon CX mini tripod. Looks real good and solid.

-Any guesses what this is?

 

[CyberKID]

^ great photos. IMO the light trails left by vehicles would have been much better had you shot the pics near the roadside.

 

[sujoyp]

@nac nice image...soo many stars...thats great

CXmini tripod is solid but very small for multiple purposes...

 

[nac]

^ All of them are stars? Sometimes I get confused between stars and noise. I thought we needed IR filters for shooting milky way

At least most of them are, I think. I couldn't eliminate/minimize the noise in this process.

Now I have a doubt... Is it OK trying astro photography with no IR filters? Is it harmful for the camera, if we shot without IR filters? (If it's harmful, I better don't try this again) I have heard about this one, but don't know about it. Even I read somewhere online that it's suggested to remove that IR filter for some kinda result on astro photography.

Skr, Are you OK with the small one?

Anoop, Too many electric lines... "Trail left by a train" shot is nice. And I couldn't guess what "it" is

@nac nice image...soo many stars...thats great

Thank you... Again I tried at ISO 1600, yesterday night. Yet to process them... Let's see how better/worse than the one taken at ISO 400...
