the green one was tap drops falling in a bucket from 2ft height. I took that shot first but since the heat inside bathroom was unbearable, i took the other photos in my room and used smaller height. hence the difference in splash pattern. My crude setup :D

Now you have earned the immunity to sit back and laugh at our stupid talks about sensor and IQ :D
Night Photography: Is that for compact too or just ILCs?

Prashant, Low angle, green drop shot is so good :thumbs:
I guess I have seen the second set. May be in flickr. BTB, bought a tripod?

Abhi, This is much better than the selective the colouring.

[MENTION=125321]nac[/MENTION] but without talking about megapixel, zoom, IQ, number of focus point how can one decide which DSLR to buy...I mean a newbie dont have experience ...I now understood why people used to tell others to get a D90 instead of D3xxx and D5xxx :ssshhh:

Nac its better to avoid long exposure in this summer time... I feel that in ILC or not the lens will be kept open to record data for long period of time which may heatup the sensor....It may cause hot pixel marks on sensor....
day before yesterday I was trying to capture star trails...and shot some 12 shots ...then I suddenly remember that summer is not right time to heat up the sensor more...and dropped the idea to take any more.

Star Trail
Attempt # 1

I messed up a little. So I had to remove some of the exposures.

*i.imgur.com/oAtob8t.jpg

SX130 | f/3.4 | 1min x 82 exposure |ISO 200 |F 28mm eq.

I don't why the foreground subject (tree) isn't clear. It looks kinda blurred...

And some of the stars are in front of the tree. :)

^ Any tips/tutorial/video how to remove the noise. Camera have processed and reduced some, I have reduced a little.

There was no wind, even if there was a little wind, not much of leaves. And I am sure trunks/branches won't move in that unnoticeable breeze.

- - - Updated - - -

I guess, it's the processing made it look blurred :idea:

Note that I haven't used selective coloring...the leaves itself of that color or maybe they painted it that way :D

Abhi, That's me, right? :rofl: I said that... :)
Prashant, So... I have to push it the extreme, I guess. I will try that to attempt # 2.

[MENTION=125321]nac[/MENTION]: trees and all will always have some movement over the period of an hour. For star trails its best to keep stable objects as the subject (rocks, buildings, some prop you put etc). I'm not sure why you are getting noise and purpleish color, I would suggest that you reduce the exposure time to about 15sec and use a lot more shots. there is also a long duration noise reduction thing that you should ensure is turned on, I hope you are using a chdk script to shoot these and not touching the cam in between
[MENTION=84261]abhidev[/MENTION]; Wow that is unbelievable, guess photoshop is so prevalent that we tend to think that anything not natural has to be photoshopped
