^ You liked my photo??? thanks man.. that looks awesome. As toofan said my images stink, i thought it was completely useless. You gave me enough bump to take another 100 picture. thanks.

 

[toofan]

Vamsi: I didn't mean to hurt you. YOu yourslef see the images you posted. I only meant to tell you to find the reason behind the shot you take. If you see my first few Images those were same. By then I had improved by just a bit but this would have not been possible by the criticism and comments I revieved.
And you have shown some awesome images in past and in respect of those these were nothing. So sorry if you feel bad.

Coo: I am posting the pics of bee at an shutter speed of 2500 and you can see the result yourself. I am just posting these images as an example.

Now can you tell what shutter speed is necessary for freezing the flying bee.

Looking at the results I don't think our camera will be able to manage a clear picture of bee in flight. I thought you're talking about bee fluttering on a flower bud. Still nice pictures

 

[vamsi_krishna]

@toofan, no problem at all, bro. Keep them coming. And what was that??? A bee without wings? Is it having any spells to fly without wings?

well,your pic lacked compostion etc .and processing too .I wanted to show that post processing is utter neccesary sometimes to make something out of nothing .

@toofan:take continous pictures of bees in flight and post them as sequence to make it interesting

@G5 :its because point and shoot usually doesn't have 1:1 macro .

Cool: I will post the best image of that shoot very soon.

Stuge: I thought the image was shot by you before reading the full post.
beautiful image. where did you get that ceiling. Nice colors.

Vamsi: The wings were moving so fast that my camera failed to capture them.

 

[Anorion]

@Stuge, the first one is brilliant.

[Cool G5]

^Get the correct code for forum & that should do the trick.

 

[chicha]

what software can i use to edit RAW images, and i do not want any loss or very minimal loss of data when i convert it to JPEG.

 

[max_demon]

or let it in PNG or TIFF format ?

Rays through Heaven!

I just liked the effect created by the sun hiding behind the black cloud.

Added contrast, some smoothness and decreased a bit brightness.

 

[chicha]

ok, what software to edit RAW? apart from CS's and i have lightroom 2.5 as well, not sure if it does any RAW. any others apart from these?

@toofan :ITC maurya sheraton (its name has been changed) -delhi,I didn't disclose the name bcoz i hate free publicity for luxury hotels lol

in b/w regarding your sunrays pic, its lacks something .pic like these usually need to be wide or with a landscape included .

 

[Cool G5]

@toofan - I liked the pic. I too have a similar pic but it has normal white clouds. The black one truly shine here.

@stuge - Nice DOF but somehow I feel the first pigeon is getting in the way of second where your focus is.

 

[Stuge]

second one ....I'm happy that second one came to make the shot more interesting . this where you love slr over point and shoot .lol
