The Photography Thread

[marvelousprashant]

Lots of poses app available in play store. Might help on the spot

most important tip: shoot in RAW and upload all pics in PP thread

 

[izzikio_rage]

Wow, I didn't know that there were apps to suggest poses as well. Can you link a few here ?

I finally did the photoshoot, it was a whole lot of fun and got some great images. The only problem was that since it was night I had to use really high ISO values and then post process the shots. Also, since I did not use a zoom lens or even a high aperture lens. I was not able to get great bokeh shots.

[izzikio_rage]

Well my friend won't let me share any of the pics till he has a chance to share them on facebook first . Will share some of the non couple pics that I happened to take during that time

the fog that you see in this pic is actually cloud.

we were IN the cloud itself. the breeze was blowing the cloud all around us and we got wet due to that.

[MENTION=145411]ANIRBAN[/MENTION] very good work...Pano and 2nd one is superb ...3rd one got slightly off due to declining angle...this should would be better with flat suerface

@amlan what is exactly in that pic..can you tell...I think a guy is smoking with a painting in its background...is it that?

Thanks a lot sujoyda.

I too thought that the declined angle looked off.. But in the end i left it as it was originally.

 

[izzikio_rage]

Its a guy standing in front of a wall painting. I liked the colors and light so tried out a silhouette

 

[marvelousprashant]

2nd shot is very nice anirban

@amlan. The picture in the picture is not very clear. Is it a crop?

 

[izzikio_rage]

The background was a hand painted mural, and its a little out of focus. The silhouette i was trying to keep sharp

Thank you prashant

my cleaning experiment went bad..now my 50mm lens can not focus on anything...it seems lens alignment went bad...I tried many times but its not working..will try afterwards...and I even could not open the front element of 50mm..and there is lot of fungus there...soo its a real fail ...I will just get a new lens itself (bought it 4 yr ago used and I paid just 2800 for that )

I will try to rectify the issue again later

 

[marvelousprashant]

50mm 1.8G is 8.5k on flipkart. Heard good things about it. Going to buy it myself next month

 

[sujoyp]

[MENTION=132251]prashant[/MENTION] I am bit confused between Tammy 90mm or a Nikon 35mm or a Tripod or a Digicabi so I am not sure what I will be getting

 

[marvelousprashant]

Even I am. Between 55-200 vr or 55-300 non vr.

I dont think I will need VR for birds and sports. For moon... I have tripod

[MENTION=132251]prashant[/MENTION] 55-300 is a VR lens ...if u r talking about tamron/sigma 70-300 then they are good at that price...but u have to learn to use them...and tripod for birding is a real bad idea...I have tried..monopod is bit better

 

[marvelousprashant]

Sorry... I was talking about nikon 70-300 (vs 55-200vr) for birding and sports

 

[sujoyp]

nikon 70-300 non vr is not a AFS lens...its AF
