@nac - nice pic of marigold actually i see the clouds forming a beautiful frame around the flower from left bottom.
@marvelousprashant -nice panorama , but how did u avoid distortion ?( i mean in the center normally many times it forms a buldge ), how much %overlap u kept? n how many shots u took?

@Im2k I corrected distortion in Lightroom. I dont remember how much overlap. It was 6:30 and freezing cold. Took 4 pics. After cropping and distortion correction the pic size was 35.7MP

lol shot
a telefoto makes subjects more vulnerable to be shot like that.@CyberKID,@sujoyp,@nac -thnx
@marvelousprashant -thnx for info. i hav tried a panaroma but never corrected it for distortion. i ll try n post my results soon.

Good composition. My suggestion crop the photo from down side till the very base of the structure. Well do not touch the base but keep 2-3 cm spare.
And, you are playing with ev. It does nnot help much other than brightening the photo. Play with exposure, ISO and focus. If the cam has program mode, should have support of changing the values of the mentioned features.

For those who are interested in astrophotography, here is the Orion constellation I took last night. Exposure 20 seconds. OMG, it's full of stars!!!

@rhitwick - thnx . both way it will look nice . i kept that small path as foreground ,by cropping that building wud become foreground against the sky so even this wud look nice . i wanted to include the path to form a line towards the middle ground n background. the sun was still brite so when i pointed my camera towards it entire frame became dark, so for i used hdr >3 fotos @+2,0 -2 EV here.
@skr - thnx. the first pic means a lot to me, it was my childhood i saw it n i captured it
tried star-trails in north direction.

kamera- camon sx150is using f/3.4 , 10sec @800iso in manual mode.focus was set to infinity in MF. setting custom timer ->1 sec-10 shots so manual press of button after 10 shots, 70 shots total.
software-->StarStaX_0.52_Win.
problem here is that
1) camera performs dark frame substraction for each foto so each 10sec exposure needs 10+10+(2 sec for processing)=22 sec time or interval is 12sec approx---how to disable dark frame substraction? coz this is causing the trails to look like arcs of dots n not smooth streaks.
2)there is a eye like formation in the center of the frame , is this due to absence of lense ho0d?
there were 3 street lites towars left @200m distance n 2 on rite @ 250m n one smaller lite one about 20m. camera was 30feet above ground mounted on velboncx440 tripod.time was between 7.30 pm to 8. pm.
any suggestions? links to tutorials that have worked n addressed these issues?pls.

Dark frame subtraction can be disabled in CHDK (not sure)
Or you can use photooshop. Duplicate layer. Decrease opacity to 50% Move the center of image to pole star and rotate a little to fill in the gaps. You can then merge both layers. Duplicate the merged layer and use "multiply"

Blackpearl, It's not sharp... kinda trail or motion (camera) blur...
Lm2k, Nice one...
I thinks it's (dark frame substraction) common for all the cameras. You can try CHDK to avoid the delay.
I am not sure about that "eye", probably it's a Stargate
Suggestions... There are plenty out there online. Just google it...
Pleasing foreground subject would be good.
For inspiration watch this video
Prashant, Yes, in CHDK we can disable dark frame substraction. Still it takes about 8 seconds shot-to-shot interval when I tried 32 sec exposure.
PS: Watch the video with audio on...

First post in photography section.
Here's one taken sometime back last year.
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=8285&d=1357233736
Any tips on how to not overexpose light sources pointing at the camera for these kind of photos ?
I'd like to get something like this - *cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000_3onXVC89YM/s/850/680/13CH1005-389.jpg
