yes but pranav u wrote in other therad that u compulsorily do PP to all pics and just opposite medico is trying to avoid any PP on his pics ....soo what I am saying that a balance can be maintained
Precisely. PP is needed but in moderation so that it doesnt look like applying lipstick to a pig

A good work, nipunmaster! Nice story line..
You need to get better at composition..Try to frame a scene in various angles..and also camera shake is quite tampering..
You really need to cut short the length of the video..try aiming for 5-6 min max..dont test their patience
PP was good., and good luck for your upcoming projects..

Nipunmaster: finally got back to my broadband and got a chance to see your movie, pretty cool stuff. Can't wait for your next one
I was trying out some night shots a few days back. The aim was to see if I could get a half decent bokeh out of my cam and stock lens

Guess getting this silhouette was a bonus

Very personal opinion, but I HATE watermarks disfiguring the very subject of a photo its meant to show. I hate that with a vengeance. Why on earth do people care so much about losing the images to the internet ?
Its not like one is becoming immortal over the internet even if one's images go viral - most people would just curse you for ruining the show with a ghastly watermark and some guy will just edit it to remove the watermark anyways. Not saying I dont understand this need some people have to watermark their images, but do it in a more subtle way - on the sides and not in a way that it gets half the attention. I'd hate to have anybody's face plastere with a logo that screams ABCDEFG Photography.
Credit to you, your watermark is less obtrusive than a few others I have seen. /rant
Other than that, decent shot though the background is overexposed - use newspapers rather than white a4 sheets. Although you can certainly find stuff better than both of them.
@Amlan: I am not very sure with the idea of handheld photography at night
But good shots, although the bokeh isnt that great.

@arian: that is a cool image
@pranav, how would a newspaper be better for an isolation shot? Wouldn't that just clutter the background more?
Guys, tips on getting a better bokeh without changing to a f/1.8 or so lens?

Newspaper for getting rid of the overexposure by helping the camera (that being said I cannot comment much unless I know what type of camera was used), not isolation. I have had okayish photos using newspapers as the background - adds a rather nostalgic touch, especially the font used by The Hindu. Make sure that the newspaper is atleast a month old in the open
@Amlan : Reduce the distance between the lens and the subject wrt the distance betwen the subject and the background.

Amlan do you have a zoom lens? if yes then its soo easy ....keep in mind the minimum focus distance at its highest focal length...like 300mm @ 2 meters ...and keep the subject at a place where background is at least 10-15 meters behind...and bingo u will get a creamy full green background

Nope, no lenses yet. The stock lens is a 16-50 lens with a 1.5 crop factor. So 24-75 compared to a 35mm. Will try the nearest subject distance and let you know how it works out

Thats fine. Doesnt your camera have an APS-C sensor ?
In that case I cant see why it shouldnt get as much bokeh as the regular 18-55mm lenses on the APSC DSLRs...

Bokeh also depends on the sensor size, larger sensor = better bokeh (for the photograph shot to have the same field of view a Full frame sensor needs a longer focal length, so)
