Looks like an entry from one of those top 10 weird buildings in the world or at-least the photo makes it feel that way.

Hey friends,

With winter coming up, there will be plenty of fog and dew in the morning. Any ideas how to take that advantage to shoot "misty" photos?

 

[Stuge]

thank you guys

Stuge, This one is amazing. Very good work Still with D700 or moved to later model?

Sujoy, It didn't seem too big in the first photograph. But in the later, I can see how big it is... How old is that Sigma?

 

[pranav0091]

@Sujoy: Impressive shot. I saw that the flash was not fired, and that rules out the diffuser as well. How on earth did you get that soft light on the face and the pitch dark background ?

 

[izzikio_rage]

congratulations Sujoy, that is one bazooka of a lens ....and amazing setup

 

[Gen.Libeb]

@sujoyp congratulations on the purchase.
Now tell us what kind of photography each of these will be used for .
Is that white umbrella only for indoor use ?

 

[sujoyp]

@pranav, amlan and gen ...thanks all

Pranav exif says flash not fired coz I triggered the flash through flash triggers ....you can see that the trigger is attached under the flash on flash holder...now what you have to do is tilt the umbrella's front side towards yourself and fire the flash through the umbrella..soo the diffused light will be very unidirectional and fell on small area...

If i would have used it backwards thats I stand behind the flash then the inverted umbrella would have given much more light and whole face would have properly lit

background as I said in that post..I bought a black wrinklefree BG (check spoiler) it gives pitch black BG

@gen some of ur questions I already explained here and umbrella can be used anywhere...I saw lots of youtube video to learn and undestand ...you guys can check portrait with single flash setup on youtube.

@nac The lens is huge...and my hands are still paining after carrying it for 2 hrs in a garden ...and sadly all my pics came crappy...no use of internet advices...will have to find a way my self...will go tomorrow again..lens is 3 years old

So sometime ago I saw a channel on flickr with cinematic colour style photos.
Here's my attempt at that colouring style. The goal here is to make the photo seem like a still shot from a movie. Some of the things are so subtle, I can't really tell what it is.
Please comment / critique.

@gen I liked 3nd and 4th ...there is something creative in it I think I liked the star shape of lights and hightwise buildings in 2nd

holy **** Sujoyda!! congrats!!

where did you buy that 150-500??

 

[sujoyp]

thanks anirban ...I bought it used from jjmehta forum member from banglore ...just got hands on it yesterday

 

[anirbandd]

great lens... how is the image quality compared to an Canon L-series??

 

[srkmish]

I have heard the sigma isnt that good at far end of the lens. How has your experience been so far

 

[sujoyp]

umm my experience is bad till now...but I blame it on myself...the previous owner used to get awesome bird shots and I am not even able to focus properly ...thats all a user fault ...today I shot soo many and didnt liked a single of it ..mainly coz I shot at RAW and ISO 800 and pic become soo much grainy that I was just not able to keep any detail ...I am gonna shoot in JPEG tomorrow and ISO 400 (like I used to before )
