I like the bird shot , though its a bit too black.
The sky in the 2nd shot looks nice, but the ground is too underexposed dark. IMO this is a good example where HDR might have worked .
The 3rd one has too much contrast. Didn't liked it.

Ankit, the bird pic is great. Nice capture of a moving target and a great background

I too liked 1st and 2nd ...but both seems underexposed ...2nd would have worked with GND effect

@game-freak : first one of the bird in flight is nice one. I think there was a chance to try the second one as HDRI.

one thing I have to say...RAW files are soo soo grainy ...Its soo difficult to keep it sharp and remove grains ...I will have to learn that..even at ISO 400 it looks like ISO 3200 JPEG

^ I have read in many places that RAW is best at base ISO.

 

[sujoyp]

but nac while birding I keep my ISO at 400 most of the time.... today out of camera RAW are soo much grainy...I had to apply like more then 50% of noise reduction in LR ...and then the image looked soft ...lost all the sharpness

 

[izzikio_rage]

I have the same problem with raw. You can actually see the grain even without zoonming.

Currently i just apply about 80 points of luminance noise reduction with the details at 60 points. (Lightroom). Let me know how you are dealing with it

 

[sujoyp]

I am almost putting 50 luminance , 50 detail ,20 contrast and 40 color noise with no sharping

but that does not make my pic clean...just a balance between sharpness and NR.. my out of DSLR ISO400 was soo clean ...I will try other NR software

The Road (2nd) looks great. Too bad there were those big ads.
Good timing for the last one.

 

[sujoyp]
