or you could use a f1.4-2.8 to focus on one subject and blur out the rest.

there always are solutions. :)

btw, you need to work on your focusing.

@ Sujoyp, Anirbandd: I suppose you people don't know that I'm working with a cellphone cam (Nokia C6-00), which doesn't have too much manual controls.
@ anirbandd: thanks for your suggestion. I'll try it once I get a Camera. For now, I'll have to do with AutoFocus of my cell cam.
Have shot a few pics today:

@Faun... Fauntastic pictures.:)

@anirban.... Super panoramas. Like the shades of blue in Abode of Clouds. Chatrapati... is terrific. By the way what is your gear.

@kjuvale.... Nice effects.

@CyberKID... Good pictures from a mobile cam. Liked the Wild Asparagus pic no. 5. very colourful.

@Im2k.... What is your gear. Nice pics, though, for the crackers, exposure of 1 to 2 secs would have given a greater effect.


A couple more crackers....

@ skr: thanks, mate. the pics are looking good and the trees are putting in a good effect, but, IMO, without the trees blocking the sight of the fireworks, the effect would have been even better.

I agree. And I have uploaded pictures of the fireworks only, but these shots were taken on purpose with the tree in the foreground for effect.

@kjuvale - lovely shots. very nice

@skr- nice ones. first one("When the stars descended.... ") very nice.
long shutter for fireworks often creates very cool effects but also causes confusion about the subject snapped. and also sometimes the core of the cracker(look at the shot of mami below ) becomes too much brite and unbearable(sometimes) to look at. further for long shutter like upto 2sec or even 1 we need a tripod or a stable support which often limits the speed n mobility(as in my case) to point n shoot:-D

Nice effects with that long exposure time. Liked the second and the third ones. Second one due to density of the light trails and third one due to different hues of colours reddish, purplish, blueish, etc. Looks like atleast for the third one, you haven't used any tripod, the irregular light trails give me that feeling.

@Im2k.... For long exposure shots tripods is a must. Your first picture has come out very well and the difference is there to be seen. Ofcourse, adjusting the brightness etc is dependent upon the features in the camera. Since my Canon sx130 gives me good control over these I have given my opinion. For me, my tripod has been very useful for taking pictures.
And thanks for the watermark tutorial video. Was very informative.

Even I don't understand these terms. What I know, is that the colour is not getting displayed correctly, see the upper portion of the pink part of the flower. It's probably not as you had seen the flower with your eyes. As far as understanding the photography terms is concerned, there are some sites like Digital Photography Review, Peter Eastway's Better Photography Magazine, which may help n00bs like us.
