I thinks the overall shot is looking very good. Yes the background is a not supporting the foreground but under conditions this is a very good shot.

What if you had shot it from front?

If shot from other side it would have casted my shadow & then the image wouldn't have looked so rich in contrast.

@Rhitwick - I liked the first one. In the second the butterfly isn't focused perfectly. A bit underexposed are both the images. Maybe a stop or two down on shutter should bring out the perfect exposure. Alternately you can bump the ISO to 100 from 80. Looking forward to more snaps from you.

@Toofan - Green refers to Greenery. The university campus is filled with dense trees & the area is very pleasing to eyes. A treat for nature lovers & photo addicts. I will post some more pics of the university so that you can get an idea.

here's my try not too good its the first try.....

i don't know how to switch the flash off, of the camera. So tried on Manual mode.

 

[Cool G5]

@Varad Dilip Choudhari - The image doesn't grab my eye to any point. It would be better if you think of a point like a heatsink on a motherboard. The empty cabinet has nothing to look for. Don't get disheartened but its the truth.

Which camera do you own? I can help you with the flash problem.

 

[toofan]

Varad Chaudhary: I can't even see your image fully at one go. I had to scroll the window. So resize your images to 600 x 480 resoulution or similar.

@Ritwik. You shots are good. But they are not sharp because your exposure/shutter speed is .6 sec and 1 sec respectively. you should have cranked the ISO to 200 or even higher. Or You could used the tripod. And even you are using the f stop of 4.5 which should be minimum of 2.8. for low light try not to use the zoom to enjoy the f stop of 2.8 . You can always crop your images later to go close.

@Varad Dilip Choudhari - Read this.
BTW don't put finger on flash as the guy suggests(sarcastically) as it may damage the flash or even burn your finger.

 

[toofan]

Cool: Good shot. Nice colors.

 

[Cool G5]

Thanks Toofan.
BTW guys post some pics, this thread seems to be drying up now.

Good Evening!


This shot is taken after two days of continuous Rain. I had posted some pics earlier of that day.

 

[lywyre]

@toofan: Thank you for your suggestion. Have just started and hearty that my photo has come out good. Thank you.

 

[Cool G5]

Yeah, I remember the earlier shot too. Good shot but the black effect is not so good around the image.

 

[toofan]

These are the shadows and more even the sunlight is falling on that particular area. And the sky is full of clouds. I was just amused after I saw that scene. Then I used full 10x zoom and captured that landslide zone.
I had cropped away some black area from left and bottom of image.

That day I took many keepers. But if I had found some height to shoot and to evade some of the building coming in between then I would have shot even more dramatic scenes.

Thanks for suggestions. I will try to reduce the darkening effect in PP.

Boys having fun in the water.

Some purple fringing is noticeable in this shot. What else can I improve upon?
I wish I had bump the ISO a level up to freeze the ball.
