I will be taking this bag.. >> Lowepro - Flipside 300 Lowepro claims it to be a crowd bag..
As for the lenses i guess you are right.. wont be able to change.. guess will keep one lens for a day. Not sure if i should carry the 70-300,, it'll be very helpful in capturing far events but is really painful to carry around without a mono or a tripod..

ur bag is a complete backpack with no easy access....to change lens you have too put whole bag down and then unzip to remove lenses which is not suitable for that environment....thats y I told you about sling bags....check lowepro slingshot...it have side access ....I just want ur gear to be safe ....actually u may find 70-300 most useful there coz either u would be taking portraits or zooming in on events....

i dont think those lowerpro guys are experienced in Kumbh Mela type crowds.. they are referring to the more civilised crowds in their countries..

Rhitwick, Too much light for a long exposure...

It's nice to stay under these leaves on a sunny day...

Abhi, A similar one was posted few days ago.

Lm2k, Thank you... I think it's (i-contrast) on all the time.

Rhitwick, Then you should have try where there is no bright light...
Was it a signal? It may be the reason for washout... Trying it in a highway is better than in a city lanes with signals... And try it at wide angle settings...

Taken at 12AM at night. I was on a footover bridge over this road. No signal anywhere.
Camera used Canon SX10IS P&S. May be some sensor limitation or IDK :(

Rhitwick, I think I didn't offend you by asking you to try, did I?

If the vehicles stayed put with head lights on in the signal, we would get this overexposed shots. So I asked.. Yeah, saw some of the exif info in flickr. I tried once, even with a wide open aperture it wasn't this much over exposed. So the lights are brighter enough to over expose in your case, I think. No offense, again... :cool:

SX10IS is a very capable advanced point n shoot. u can try more beter shots. experiment with shutter speeds . exact shutter speed n aperture opening depend on the traffik n speed of the vehicles passing by , a trial n error is necessary here.

ya; in the first one the i cud hav avoided the truck n brot the bicycle rider a bit closer to centre. n in second one the traffic was too low so didnt got the desired effect . Ideally there shud hav been equal amounts of lites n blacks ,a balance between these. these were taken long time back.

BTW the shoots u posted, these hav both the sun n starz,i guess these r sunset shots.in last two shots sun is carefully placed without obstructing any other shapes:cool:. n which tripod u used?

Actually they are moonrise, shot around 2300hrs. I don't have a tripod, just placed the camera in a wall.

Yeah, if the same setting was tried at sunset, almost entire sky would have come washed out...

Glasses. Try putting a dark sunglass infront of your lens.. or two if needed. Thats cumbersome, I agree, but it should help you get better trails with lesser washouts ;)
