Thanks nac and sujoyp.

Still using my cell as the primary (only) cam till I get a proper cam.

[toofan]

Thanks friends for the feedback.

Arian: 1st is good.
Sujoy: Excellent expressions captured. Squirell shot could be improved.Lacking sharpness and better surrounding.
Animesh: Very interesting shot. Loved how well you captured it.

toofan, both pics are stunning

[binarycodes]

@toofan

wow! awesome color in the first one

[sujoyp]

@toofan liked both...but didnt like the tree in front in 1st pic...2nd one is better composed

Hey, take a look at this:

Spoiler:

(It's the full size image, almost 2 MB, so may take some time to load)

I'm posting this not because it is a great photo. This one has been taken at ISO-800 from a point n shoot costing 8k. There is very little graininess and almost zero color noise. I think this is quite an achievement for a camera in this price range

[sujoyp]

@cool buddy...is it taken with flash or thats street light....but u r right there is little grain ...which cam is that?

[Cool Buddy]

@sujoyp - without flash, that's street light. Flash will totally block out the street light (I tried)
The camera is Canon IXUS 115 HS

I think this is the best cam for low light shooting under 10K. I had seen this in the reviews itself, that's why I bought it

[sujoyp]

canon IXUS 115HS is a good one...the whole HS series is superb...115, 220, 230 all have good reviews

[INS-ANI]

Again.. Nice pic toofan. 2nd one is special, love the natural background blur

Some portrait for your C&C

[Cool Buddy]

^^ The first one is really looking good with that smoke

[sujoyp]

@animesh nice portraits...tell ur friend to make round smokes...will look awesome

[INS-ANI]

@cool buddy .. Thanks.
@sujyop we tried, couldn't make the ring

[arian29]

My first Flower macro...

[sujoyp]

@arian beautiful shot

@nac I would suggest getting a colorful flower...my Photo guru says dont even try to get pic of white flower...its the most difficult color

[toofan]

Animesh: 1st is excellent. 2nd is also good.
arian: nice shot.
nac: require sharpness and better exposure to really pop the subject.

Friends,
NOthing more to shoot these days, so sharing few fly shots made last month for your Critiques and feedback.

D90 + 50mm 1.8 + Kenko Extensions + Handheld. Thanks!

Vimal 2nd one is superb...good composition

[Cool Buddy]

@Toofan - The second one is just amazing, the background looks a bit artificial though, I supposed you have post processed the image.

Very true, getting a white flower right is very difficult. Colourful flowers look very beautiful without much effort.
Also, it is better to get a flower from a plant. In these shots, the surface of the ground is also in focus, diluting the effect a bit. In a macro shot, everything except the subject should be out of focus

Take a look at these (my own shots)

@arian ....loved ur shot...very wide

Today went to a lake and took some shots...my 55-200 was felling short for birds and I am soo sad coz of that ..GOD please give me a Nikkor 300mm f/4 AFS + 1.4x teleconvertor soon

Ok few of my pics today

[a_medico]

^ very decent shots for a 250mm. You can do magic with 300+

[sujoyp]

medico mine is 200mm not even 250 ...

[nac]

Thanks for the comment. I'll sure work on those things when I click next time.

Arian,
Wiiiide shot...

Sujoy,
Last black and white bird looks cute...

Vimal,
These fly shots are sharper than the butterflies. May be the structure... I am not sure.

[toofan]

cool Buddy: thanks for the feedback, the background is natural.
AmpleNM: please post smaller sizes.
arian: Very well composed.
sujoy: nice shots.
Nac: thanks.

One more for you guys.
