[MENTION=120687]Raziel[/MENTION], You have a unique style man, great works!

I'd like to know what lens you used for it, and also a full scaled version of that dragonfly

 

[Raziel]

[MENTION=96386]CyberKID[/MENTION]: Yep, I believe that's true.

[MENTION=22610]hsr[/MENTION]: Thank you. I use the cheapest lenses around, like Helios and Pentacon, connected to NEX via an extensible M42 adapter. While optically imperfect, these old lenses are full of character. My shots are not often super sharp because of these imperfections, which is why I downsize it to smaller size for better quality. You can click the pic and go to my flickr page to see 1280x720 size. I have FHD size of the dragonfly pic but it's a bit blurry due to the above reason, can give if you're still interested.

Would love to know the exif data for the pics you posted Raziel

Awesome pics others

 

[Raziel]

[MENTION=8593]izzikio_rage[/MENTION]: Actually nothing special with the Exif, also there's no lens data from the manual lenses, the basic settings are more or less the same. I'll paste the settings of this fern I shot in the evening.

Camera: NEX-3N
Mode: Aperture Priority.
ISO: 200
Metering mode: Pattern
Flash Mode: No flash
Exposure Time: 1/400 sec

Nothing special, just a couple of photos of the day.
Both at ISO 2000 & 1/25 sec, so not sure what should have done.

I thought I'd share a couple of pics I took some time ago. It's almost Onam here and monsoon's just about over.

Both are from a Lumia 920, using the Nokia Camera (the old pro camera).

hsr, Excellent bokeh from a mobile cam

 

[Raziel]

Nice work there hsr, nice macro capability for L920. Keep shooting, like I said I also started with a lumia and I still enjoy it. My L800 has a bug which doesn't focus well on macro..the newer lumias must be working fine. I'm looking for an upgrade to L1020.

[MENTION=120687]Raziel[/MENTION] - Awesome pics....the colours!!! [MENTION=15209]quan chi[/MENTION] [MENTION=2935]a_medico[/MENTION] nice

 

[quan chi]

Thanks everyone.
[MENTION=2935]a_medico[/MENTION] : Thats a lovely shot.
[MENTION=154968]Gen.Libeb[/MENTION] :The first shot is good but that bright light is spoiling the fun.

Anyways continuing my series.

This is Upasana Griha (shantiniketan). From wikipedia :

A prayer hall, made of several coloured Belgium glass with marble steps on all the four sides, by the poet's father in 1863. During evening service, candle is lit around the prayer hall, and it wears a magnificent look in flickering light.

Which reminds me guys if you are posting any pictures from any historical or heritage sites please add few words with them too. (At least I will read them.)

yes a bit similar.
This shot is better than the previous pic.
(this is just my personal opinion. ).

I hope you all Shutter Addicts know that today was The World PhotoGraphy Day.

Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

[MENTION=120687]Raziel[/MENTION]: love your work! are you making any series or such?

and you are applying the softness via PP or filter??

- - - Updated - - -
[MENTION=39722]sujoyp[/MENTION]: like the colour and lighting on the glass pic. although if you could take a wider shot with the complete glass and some more in the bg it would have been better imo.
