Nice bokeh. I like the first picture.

Not sure if this colouring works for this photo. What do you think ?

Wow, amazing pics sujoy. Woukd you have any pics of the setup, or can you just describe it

 

[anirbandd]

@sujoyda excellent. I like tue rose and the couple closeup the most.

 

[sujoyp]

thanks @gen and anirban

@amlan ...setup was very easy
1. Keep diwali lights at least 6 feet away from the subject
2. do not use flash to illuminate ur subject ...use phone led or led torch to illuminate ur subject ...
3. use zoom lens or macro lens soo that subject could be kept just 6-8 inches away from the camera

Did some fun photo stuff this weekend. Had purchased a Emount to MD (minolta format) lens adapter some time back which was delivered this week. Dad has an old minolta and my eye was on the 28mm 2.8 prime that he has . So I mounted that, had some fun operating a fully manual lens after all these years.

I was about to put this away when I though let's put the kit lens too. It turned out that we never got a kit lens, the other lens is a 30-70 mm zoom plus there was a awesome macro converter too

*i.imgur.com/UFjWFxt.jpg

Still going through the results but will post them and some new shots over the next week

@Sujoy, save up some more moolah and get a telephoto prime man, you deserve it.

 

[sujoyp]

@pranav ...will keep the option for next birding season next year....this year its almost over...just 1 more month left I think...Next year hope to get 300mm prime+TC combo

 

[Gen.Libeb]

@izzikio_rage - Your cam looks nice, the first one.
@pranav0091 - whats up, no new photos for quite long time.

Some landscapes.

2nd and 3rd one are very nice. I would have liked to see some interesting subject in the foreground in the 2nd pic. In the 3rd pic, how did u get all those colors? Is it in-camera?

 

[sujoyp]

@amlan good that u started experimenting ....I too used some adapters for macro in the start

@gen 3rd and 4th i liked....1st one composition is nice but didnt produce the effect

 

[nac]

Gen,
1 - Little more contrast would have given some punch
2 - Colourful.
3 - You have posted it before.

Sujoy, Mobile phone shot is nice...

It's little weird that the advanced compacts (some models) get to have a aperture ring while the lenses (at least most, if not all) for DSLR (esp. canon) doesn't have one. Amlan, now you can use aperture ring (I guess your lens didn't have one, right?)

 

[izzikio_rage]

The kit lens that I got with the cam has only one ring (it's a combined zoom and focus ring) and a slider for zoom. Canon's lenses also have no aperture ring and so require a much more expensive adapter. That is the reason I'm trying old manual lenses, there is no AF, no electronic aperture control, in short the cam has no idea what lens is mounted and what it's doing

@Sujoy: I had been putting off experimenting out of sheer laziness, finally got the adapter and started. BTW please let's restart the photo project thread. Now to we have a lot of interested people who are actively shooting so it'll be fun to work on some project and then compare notes

 

[sujoyp]

@nac ....u only liked the shot by mobile

@amlan u know my macro lens is like that only ..and I have been using it for past 3 yrs now ...it have manual aperture control, no AF and need to use only in M mode ...but its soo sharp that I didnt get a autofocus one

Ok we will start the photo project again .....lets see if someone participates

 

[satinder]

Liked the colours & compositions.

 

[Gen.Libeb]

srkmish, sujoyp, nac, satinder - Thanks for the comments.

how did u get all those colors? Is it in-camera?

Not in-camera, done in PC using gradients & layer mask.

 

[CyberKID]

Great shots Gen. Liked the second one the most.

Seems I've been missing a lot of interesting stuff here. Sujoy's been birding, and is coming up with awesome bird shots. Great shots mate. In the last page, I esp. liked the green bird and the flower.
