The Photography Thread

[Stuge]

thanks everyone.....will go for the sx120, the f stop values are something I really want to experiment with, the 25mm wide effect can probably be done by taking 2 images and joining them (hail photoshop) as for batteries will carry around an extra pair. 12x vs 10x and hidef video is something I can probably live without for the time being.

in b/w forgot to tell you about Panasonic Fz35(shoots raw +18x + can take polarizer(need ti be bought seperately) .In grey it will cost you around Rs17,500 + all the manual modes you need .

read this *www.brighthub.com/multimedia/photography/articles/2143.aspx

IMO there is no why you can replace wide angle with a panorama or vise versa .Rest is upto you ..Good luck

 

[izzikio_rage]

thanks stuge...this one's a little out of my league, any idea what the FZ28 costs? it also has the manual mode and stuff right?

could you please tell me the retail price, want to get the warranty.

 

[toofan]

Yup FZ35 is an awesome camera. I had used FZ28 manual focusing on it is very easy and very very feature rich. It has 18x optical zoom + full manual control + raw+ hd vedio.

@izziko :well ,if you want to buy with warranty ,then most cameras will be out of you reach .I 'm not sure about FZ28 .

I guess SX120 is the only option left ..Since you want warranty also .

[Stuge]

good work chitavan awesome pictures .Just a thing that I have noted in those panos .you have sharpened them bit more than required (halos around the trees suggest that ) .
@vamsi ..nice shot

 

[Cool G5]

@stuge - The B&W version looks good. Nicely processed.

@chirag - 1st is the best out of the lot.

@vamsi - Good Snap.

Feeling nice to see such good pics. Hope my days goes good now.

 

[toofan]

Stuge: colored version is looking better then b/w.
Chitvan: nicely taken.
Vamsi: Nice shot but It would be more appealing if the background would be blurred out.

After all your building works. I am posting my first Building.

*img412.imageshack.us/img412/1846/dsc0086uo.jpg

The Raj Bhavan or the Governor's House.
It was built by British as a residence of Governor of North West Province.

Chitvan: some extra ordinary Images by you.

 

[izzikio_rage]

guess the sx120 is final....any suggestions about e bay? it shows the camera as 10k bucks, cash on delivery in delhi. should I go for it?

 

[rhitwick]

@Toofan, ur image is too white? Any reason or intentional?

 

[toofan]

Ritwik: two reasons
1. I took it in bright sunlight
2. I processed this image at a text setting of LCD. In this setting I have decreased the Brightness and contrast so save my eyes from strain.

Thanks for pointing out. I will process it again at standard settings.

 

[Cool G5]

@toofan - I agree with Rhitwick, correct that & we should have a great image.

@chirag - Nice snaps again.

This is the correct version with correct settings.

izziko_rage: Don't buy from ebay. As you live in delhi. go and personally visit the shop and you will get them 500 to 1000 cheap. Do buy a 2500mAh rechargeable batteries and a fast charger which can charge them in less then 11 hours. I bought Uniross 2500 mAh batteries and there charger. Batteries are the best I have but the charger used to took 26 hours to charge them. Then I bought the Kodak charger it takes 11 hours.

Ins-ANI: Your images are matching a special theme so looking extremely effective. If they would have posted alone then they would be ordinary or even worse like your first shot of cattu.

Good work/thinking and keep practicing.

Stuge would have processed it to its maximum effect.

@toofan : you picture is a good candidate for hdr lovely shot
@chitvan : fantastic shots

 

[INS-ANI]

@stooge,@toofan
Thanks 4 d appreciation. As i told you,i own a digital cam (made for dummies).. What else can i try with it? It really kills me to think that i am handicapped with limitation of my cam. The only creativity i can show is on image editing tools

Any advices for under privileged class?
