I am buying a basic tripod tomorrow from croma. About 1.6kgs, max height of approx 160cm and aluminium build. Not a ball-head as I didnt like the one on display. Price 2k. I took a shot with a Nikon L510 at some 5-6x zoom and with the store's lighting, the pic came out fine. I dont see any obvious wobble even when the legs are kept close together. The legs have rubber grip with a metal nail in the centre. No hook for attaching weights, but the tripod is quite heavy at 1.6kgs anyway. Quick release, two bubble levels present. Anything else I need to check ?

Croma's own brand BTW. An interesting feature is that you can take out the centre column out fully and and then extend it and use as a monopod as well

Gen, Colours are not punchy, it looks dull/flat

Lm2k, Nice but would be better if it looks whiter...

Quanchi, -1/3 exposure would be better, I think.

Click, Cute boy...

^I dont really remember the settings but i guess it was around aperature f/3.x to f/5.x, shutter 1/3 or 1/5 iso 400 or 800.

@im2k Your pics are well composed but a bit darker. If you use LR for PP, you can control blacks, whites and shadows separately and get a well exposed image

@prashant,

first and second one are superb

 

[nac]

Prashant, Yellow flower shot is nice. brighter, more saturation would be good.

Sujoy, Okish portrait...

 

[lm2k]

@Gen.Libeb - good one. i too had tried some in the zoo in pune but those animals refused to pose for me

@marvelousprashant - "Eager eyes by marvelprash, on Flickr" is awesome , loved the expressions freezed. did u do black n white in camera(using in camera effects ) or is it LR? second one , the motion blur used as background is also nice.

@im2k Your pics are well composed but a bit darker. If you use LR for PP, you can control blacks, whites and shadows separately and get a well exposed image

thnx , actually i m working on post processing.


@sujoyp - nice portraits, second one is very nice. Did u post process it to add the warmth?

 

[CyberKID]

@ Gen: Nice. No comments on that. You can't ask an animal to pose for you the way you want.
flowers by marvelprash, on Flickr is also good. +1

 

[anirbandd]

@marvelousprashant: eager eyes is Good!

 

[quan chi]

@Gen your pic is good but it can be made better by a little cropping.

 

[marvelousprashant]
