@Krow :..don't wanna demotivate you ..

 

[Cool G5]

I want to begin with a photography forum. WIll you guys participate?
I need your co-operation & would love even if it becomes moderately popular & active.

 

[Krow]

@ Stuge I take all critique constructively. It will spur me on to be better. So, please let me know.

@ G5 What happened to the book you were going to write. If you really want to start a photography forum, then I am in. If you are interested totally, then I can even pitch in with monetary aid. Let's split the cost. But, when there are good photography forums, why start our own. LWI is a good place to hang out IMHO.

The book is yet to begin, will begin soon.

Regarding forum you're right there are many forums but how many are of Indian origin? All discuss photography with hi-fi equipments which no indian like you or me have, so what is the use of posting on such high forums? Let's make our own forum. We'll discuss about the forum in our upcoming Mumbai Photography Meet which will most probably happen tomorrow at Shivaji Park. Are you coming? I have pinged Rhitwick. Get in touch with him.

P.S : This was my first post of 2010 in TDF Forum

LWI is of Indian origin. As far as discussion of photography goes, we can start discussions on equipment that we have over there too. More on this in the meet, if I can come.

As usual, Saturday we have lectures, so I can't come. Sunday is fine for me.

 

[Cool G5]

Meet is now fixed on Sunday considering your classes. Let's discuss then.

@swordfish, I like the first one.

@ Anuj City of Angels is breathtaking.

 

[Cool G5]

@swordfish - First one is good. In second I cannot see anything special.

@anuj - Again I liked the first one over other images.

Finally I got it right. After many unsuccessful attempts I managed to get a good shot of fireworks on the new year's eve.

Some wonderful photography in my absense.

Stuge: you always perfect with your images.
Cool: the firework hand held is excellent.
Anuj: Beautiful Images with a different perspective, some are perfect. Don;'t use the Dark circles as borders around the Image not looking good.
Swordfish: Welcome back Image is Rock solid. Can you post the details of the image of glowing city.

Ritwik: Second shot is Superb. Everything is sharp except the horse which is giving the feel of motion to that Image. Well shot.

I am away from city until 12th of jan without camera. So see you all.

 

[Cool G5]

@swordfish - Very nice shot. I loved the reflection.

@Rhitwick - Now that you have learnt panning learn framing & composing panned shots.
