@nac: amazing pics, where do you live? or are you clicking pics from postcards and fooling us all
@nikku: great stuff, seems like you captured all the colors of the sunset/sunrise
@sunil: that's a pretty good click, however I think that the camera did not focus properly on the caterpillar. Did you use the macro setting and did you half press the shutter till the rectangle on the screen turned green? (sorry for the very basic questions but the focusing on the Sx160 and all is usually pretty good)
My attempts at manual shooting with the new cam. I know it's not much in terms of a click, but that's exactly how I felt when the weekend just disappeared

Nice pics
A couple of additional suggestions - try to use Flickr or 500px. They not only help you embed images easier, but you can also post larger versions with ease ( nobody here minds large pics
) And then there is the exif info...Pretty pics, nac and Amlan

My first post here.
I've bought SX160 last month...(thnx @ nac)
I'm trying to post the pics directly (not the link) but unable to do so (IMG URL Method).
I've deleted my previous post but after seeing comment from izzikio_rage I decided to post it anyway.
@ izzikio_rage : I'm new to photography and I've some other pics in which caterpillar is focused (will upload few more once uploading issue is solved). I've used Macro settings but I don't remember about the half press thing. Will take care of that in future...Thanks for the info
Pls help me (PM) how to post pics directly without Flickr or other hosting site.

Here, does this help ?

or you can upload to flickr/other img hosting sites and grab the BB codes..
PS: Why not use flickr, I mean why do you seem opposed to that idea ?

Medico, I like this one... No processing uh...
Thank you Pranav, Sujoy and Amlan.
Sunil, Focus, exposure issues... Read user manual for better understanding how your camera works...
We have limited quota to upload directly in forums. It's better to upload in image sharing website and share the link here.

@Sunil, Nikku at the risk of repeating what everyone here is saying, do post your pics to flickr and then link here. Some of the advantages are
1. Exif data: this allows everyone to see your camera settings, it'll help us understand how you got those great clicks or where you could have made some changes for a better shot. Once you get the hang of it you can always check out the info of pics that you like to replicate them
2. One consolidated place for your images, that way you'll be able to go back in a year or so and see how much you've improved or what new stuff you've learned
3. Flickr itself has some really nice people who'll help you along, plus you always get access to an amazing collection of images and what settings were used to click them
Posting from flickr is pretty easy, just upload there. Open the image, On the bottom right of the image (in the black area) there is a box with an arrow coming out of it (more ways to share), click that, click on get the HTML/BBcode, select the BBcode radio button at the bottom of the popup and copy paste the text/code that shows up, in the forum.
Mandatory disclosure: I'm not getting any commission from flickr or am anything more to them than just one more user

awesome light trails anmol ....
finally a few from my side. Couldn't resist shooting up the ISO in the first, the second though is a tripod mounted long exposure. Sujoy please don't take my case on the high ISO

Nice attempt Amlan.
Kinda overexposed. I think you could have stopped down the aperture to something like f/22 @ base ISO and not keeping the shutter open for too long. You can start @ 15sec, and increase if you feel so.
I am expecting much cleaner picture from an APS C sensor camera especially @ low light.
