@chirag - Nice snaps again. Was it any photography trips?

@toofan -Yeah, it seems perfect now. Sharp throughout the frame.

@INS_ANI - Psychedlic or whatever its called suits your photo theme. The post processing is done good.

Some of my pics....taken from Sony T100 P&S...I really feel there is too much compromise in a P&S Camaras...will get DSLR as soon as I had the money:mrgreen:

Below one is the original one...no post processing done...I love the light effect here

Stuge: Nice clean and well composed and processed.
Vamsi: Excellent shot. The unusual angle make this shot special. It seems very emotional dog. Nice expressions. Nicely captured, composed and the railing is adding a natural frame to this image.

Chitvan: 2nd and 4th are the best. Try to bring some details out in the background of second image. Let see what comes out.

Sujoyp: 1st one is better among others. Keep practicing.

@toofan - Actually I didn't do anything to the image. It was shot like that. Just a few saturation & contrast settings in GIMP. Nothing else.

Well I thought it was a good image.

Thanks for suggestion...
i already tried it...but i feel it was flat with same light...so i used gradient & vignette to make them dark....
Thanks...

there is reason why photographers or enthusiats use mac and Winodows for digital photography.
you shd dual boot windows and Linux.Start using Photoshop or Lightroom .

GIMP is powerful enough its just that PS got famous due to being on Windows platform which is used by majority of computer users. Sure getting help for GIMP is difficult as most of the sites offer tutorials for PS but then again there are many communities which offer the same for GIMP.

@chirag - I don't have such good Post Processing skills. Maybe that's the reason my pictures don't stand out from yous guys who are masters in PP. Another thing is being an ardent Linux user, I use GIMP while most(or all) here use PS. Trying to do my best but for timebeing I prefer to shoot as perfect as I can on the camera itself.

@stuge - The second one wins my vote. Nice snap. Coloured one feels over saturated.

Well ,coloured one is ok because its a HDR :),but yes black and white is always loved for street photography :)

G5 : its just not how powerful GIMP is .problem is it just doesn't have any plugins to work with :) ..I have used GIMP and left for the same reason .I was also relcutant to intitally (since it was free ) ,but then I realized how post processing is important to digital photography .Specially ,when I started shooting in RAW. ."picture without PP is just a half baked product "

in b/w I use Capture NX (software that came with camera +CS4

@Chitvan : Piracy :) Pay for the CS4 or PS if it pays you for the work you do or else its just not possible to pay that much of money .Yes ,I'm poor can't buy both Camera and Software untill I get money from it .

@Cool : shallow dof is the main reason why people get DSLR .Point and shoot due to its small sensor are just paralized in this sense .they have large depth of field .f8 is like f22 (don't know the real maths ) on a Cropped senor (APS-C).

Point and shoot can be really handy for macros due to large depth of field (though its not a true macro they provide in point and shoot. you will need to use raynox etc).

little info shared .I hope you like it :)

i m not master in PP...
i use Photoscape for editing....which is very small & free software & very easy to use...
my all those B/W images edited in Photoscape only..
u can install Photoscape on Linux too using wine...
GIMP is very slow in editing....even u can use photofilter....which is free too...

Cool: I dosn't mean that your processing failed. What i meant is that You failed to capture the subject properly. In this image the main attraction is taken by the space between the house and trees. Image should be composed in such a way that attention goes to the House. Hope you got the point.

What I mostly do is use levels and curves. Sometimes saturation and vibrance. Removing noise if any and Then adding sharpness at he last. Yes a masking these effects to pop the subject out. But I am not as good as stuge or Chitvan.

Fire in Forests.

Every year in summers the jungles of Uttarakhand catch fire. I took this shot on tripod at a shutter speed of 25 sec with remote.
