Amlan, I don't know how I missed yours... Second one is nice and good.

Anoop, Is this miniature mode?

Allllright !
Actually I added some focus blur in Pixlr to keep the subject as the center of attraction.

Have I overdone it?

yes the pic is looking very blurry ....and thats not good...blur is given to background and not subject itself

miniature mode works best when shooing in horizontal plane. Kid and doll are in vertical plane. In horizontal pplane you can trick people to think it is shallow DoF

Edited with Photoshop-Added the watermark, nothing else.
So, for me, this one marks the start of winters. I have white chrysanthemums ready to bloom in all their glory with literally hundreds of buds to bloom over the next 1 month, looking forward to share some more shots.

1st and 3d one are good. 2nd one is not completely in focus. Last one has washed out colors compared to #3

Tried something with a pile old CDs and DVDs. Exposure 10s, Aperture f/8 and ISO 100

@cyberkid.... The first picture is clear and crisp. The colour and droplets standout very well. By the way what software did you use for the watermark?

@marvelousprashant.... Nice captures. Looks like rings of light. Did you focus any light on the cd stack to specifically get the effect? Really amazing what the camera eye can see...!!!


A few experiments with slower shutter speed....

with a torch....

Exposure 5sec, Aperture f/4.0, Focal Length 9.5 mm, ISO Speed 400.


tried to write the words RAMA albeit in the reverse....

IMG_2718 by skr sx130, on Flickr
Exposure 10sec, Aperture f/5.0, Focal Length 26.3 mm, ISO Speed 400.


This was an attempt to capture a cracker bursting in the sky(without a tripod). A very shaky hand produced this result......

Interesting image skr. Torch is powered by batteries which are source of DC current. Your light trails are dotted in first 2 images but not in 3rd image which is a natural source of light hence it is not a defect of the camera. A DC powered torch should be always on, unlike the electrical sources like bulbs in our houses (AC powered) which go on and off 50 times per second. Usually those sources give dotted light trails. If you have a red indicator on your switchboard, try long exposure by moving the camera. The light trail will be dotted. A torch should always give a linear light trail not a dotted one.

Regarding my image I lit the CDs from behind by diffuse light (torch blocked by paper)

@ marvelousprashant: Nice concept.
@ skr: Again, Nice concept. Capturing light trails of a torch with a camera in slow shutter speed should have ideally resulted in clean lines as marvelousprashant pointed out. BTW, it's looking nice and the last pic is also looking good-shaky hand has resulted in a good image.

As far as the watermark is concerned, I initially used BatchStamper-Unregistered version with a limitation to watermark only 5 images in one go, but for the ones above, I used photoshop with a simple layer overlay.
