@Krow : the panorama looks stunning...well done..

Thanks a lot!

Excelently done and beautiful place to shoot. hope many more would be comming.

This image in not cropped properly. Some edges are seen in lower side of image.

Thanks for pointing out, rectified that, updating image now.

This is a more tight shot as Cool has suggested.

Good effort toofan.

@krow - Its a good shot. Waiting for more panoramas.

Thanks! I will engage in more of the same now.

nice pano krow

Thanks a lot Stuge. I liked your Panoramic shots a lot. Although there is a slight problem with the first one, all the people look a bit compressed from the top. But, then again, great effort from a mobile camera. Please tell us what processing methods you used.

Also, to all: I would like to know which Panorama Auto-stitching software you use. Please provide link if possible.

Stuge: Thanks for Sharing such a wonderful moments and events. Even taken with a mobile but a photographer remains what he is.

good to see the whole stadium in one go.

Greate shots and nicely processed.

Couldn't agree more to this!

Retouched the panorama a little more. Which one do you find better?

Either its blown away or out of focus.

 

[Cool G5]

@vamsi Krishna - I think the breeze has affected the shot.

Little bird I am trying to shoot from some days but not succeeding till now. When I will get a decent shot then I will tell you all. Every morning i am sitting behind a mango tree in my garden to shoot this bird but this keeps on jumping form one place to other.

 

[Cool G5]

@toofan - this is still a very good snap. A bit oversharp in my opinion.

@krow - The earlier panorama is better. the second one appears washed out.

 

[toofan]

Cool thats why I don't like this shot because in the grey background(or may be something else) the bird is looking like it has been cut from somewhere and placed there. And Sharpness may be. I will check that out.

I did some PP on Vamsi's old photograph, please tell me if you like the effect. I target this question to all, but Vamsi's own comments would be much appreciated. Please post the original here Vamsi, as I have very less time on my hands, sorry.

I felt that I took away some of the innocence of the flower, but maybe the background needed to be darkened. Comment please.

 

[Cool G5]

I liked it krow.
But maybe one needs such skill to make bland photos beautiful. Some(including me) don't possess these.

 

[toofan]

Stuge has mastered this skill of representation.

Guys I am gonna buy a DSLR very soon. Any suggestions about the Model and accessories I should look.

 

[Anorion]

^they are all great, but drops, cloud-ray, chakkar, naini-tal lake, catu and Ghughuta were amazing. Which Himalayan mountain is that?

Is this better? I did this in IrfanView (freeware).

@ G5, install IrfanView (can be done in Linux too through WINE). Press Shift+G and play with various settings there. R&D will take you a long way.

@ Giga: Nice composition, but the sky at looks dirty at the top half. The bottom half is excellent.
