Location :Red fort

Well,Took this picture with Sony's DSC-W5 (quite old ) my cousin brother's camera ..hehe.Picture has been taken and processed by me

This Iconic place has been photgraphed a million times by tourists ,local public

Note :Image comprises of Three pictures stitched with autostitch .later processed accordingly

Stuge: Panorama is excellent. And the P.P adds to the beauty of Fort. The border is also enhancing the red color of fort.

@toofan - How did you manage to get the excellent bokeh in your shot? Did you add it via PP?

@stuge - I liked the second one.

 

[toofan]

Just zoom as much as you can. And make sure that the background is far way from the subject to increase the intensity of bokhe.

There is a big flaw in this Image.

1st: The Background terrace is cutting the subjects throat.
2nd: I was trying to decrease the brightness of background but this has created a line around the selection due to high feather and less accurate mask.

I had changed the color of Pullover from gray to Maroon. Soften the face skin by high pass filter.

Guys, I am planning to buy a DSLR, thinking of Nikon D3000 kit with 18-55mm lens and an extra zoom lens, AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G (4.3x)

*www.nikon.co.in/productitem.php?pid=90-e00cd4c502

What is your opinion? Will the money be well spent? Or you got any other alternatives?

Budget is Rs.35-38k.

I am planning this as we are planning a trekking trip to Sandakfu.

 

[Cool G5]

^ Go for it. Nice camera for beginners.

 

[toofan]

Yes Nikon D3000 is a good camera to start.

You can also check: Olympus E-520
*www.jjmehta.com/webshop/index.html?target=dept_70.html&lang=en-us
Performance wise its much better then D3000 but not much variety in lenses is available. You can use sigma or tamron lenses any time and these are much cheaper.

Pentax K-M: is also a good performer but availability is the problem.

 

[Stuge]

@toofan :just two three words ..Use tripod at those focal length

@digitized :Get Canon or Nikon (don't get DSLR from other companies ,if you're living in india ).Both Canon and Nikon has Variety of lenses .IMO Canon has cheaper pro lenses (you are not looking for it right now ..hehe )

and why AF 70-300mm ..it will not auto focus on D3000.

eiter get Sigma 70-300 APO version (hard to get ) or NIkon Af-s 70-300mm Vr (may be out of your budget )

don't get tamron 70-300mm lens (it sucks ) I use to own that lens ..sold it in just 15 days or so .
