Cool: Nice portrait. Nicely composed but if you would have used a fill flash you could have removed those harsh shadows.

Ritwik: happy birthday dear.

@toofan - Yes, you're right. Will keep in mind next time.

@INS-ANI - I made a light painting last night. Here it is.

*img20.imageshack.us/img20/8791/lightpaintingsonure.jpg

It is made with mobile light as I kept a shutter of 10 secs & aperture 7.1 or 8.0 on my camera.

Happy clicking on your journey. Do come with fantastic pics. ;-)

@cool, nicely done. What kind of light were you using? The mobile screen?
I have been using a LED lamp and a mobile torch.. but the non-linearity (i hope the word is correct) looks attractive in your snap.
Is blue the natural color?

I use the mobile screen as the light source. Though I had a purple theme set on mobile, it rendered blue in the pic. Obviously I didn't care about the white balance. Just enhanced the colors in GIMP.

Seems i will have to use a better light source.. My mobile's screen offer very low brightness. probably covering the LED torch with something will do the job.

Shape and the face lines are same but a huge different in emotions. Flexibility of human faces to show different emotions in same way.


Cool is best when it comes to innovations.
Ins_ANI: now you have got the basic of light photography. Try to create some some specific and complicated shapes. Like a outline of human. I know you will start with a Heart. Most do so. :)

And as far as automatic cams. One simple trick. Try using the proper mode of the cam for different photographs.
1. while taking sunset use the sunset mode. to get enhanced orange and yellow colors. just try this. Its wonderful setting.
Now one trick: when ever you want to enhance the red and orange colors in your image just use this setting inspite of type of situation.
2. Use portrait mode/macro mode for people photography to have a blurred background.
trick: use the cloudy white balance to get effect of a warming filter.
actually you can use the cloudy white balance setting when ever you want to warm the colors.
Many more keep practicing.
Sometime try to use different mode with totally different conditions to get exciting results.

@toofan - A bit criticism for you in the first image. Why you left some space on the right? It should not be left unless you want to show some direction in the shot. Also I feel it should be cropped till belly from bottom.The second one is very good. Do you capture in burst mode or normal? If in normal then its really great as you're trained to capture the right moment.

@lywyre - Nice image. You got a good natural setting while taking the shot. There is a slight tilt in the image but most won't notice that.
