@kjuvale...nice....what place is this?

[kjuvale]

@Abhidev: its taken in Dresden, Germany and on the right hand side , the big building is Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady). It was completely destroyed in bombing on 13 feb 1945. they rebuilt it in 2005. Almost all Dresden was destroyed. But they have built again all those beautiful buildings.

here is normal edit of same pic:

kapil the normal edited pic is looking much better with colors...ur previous pic is whole gray

[nac]

Jayant, Nice one...

Medico, Yeah even when there is plenty of lights in-door it needs long exposure.

Kjuvale, Nice street photography...

Stuge, Wow!!! Congrats... I thought of capturing that event but couldn't...

A nice portrait

[Soumik]

Nice pics.

I need advice on shooting photos. I have an EPM1, and i have a problem like... when i would go to some party and take pics, it focuses on the nearest faces and blurs out the ones a bit far. How do i get all of them into focus?? Kinda bummer for a party pic.
Also, for low light, the shutter speed becomes too low. A normal PnS camera can shoot a pic with no shake at all, while, i have to make sure no one is moving while i take the pic.. else it gets blurry.
recently i went to a butterfly park, and in all the pics, the wings were blurry. While same place i had been with a Panasonic PnS, the wings were very clear. Why is the default shutter speed so low?

And if i increase the shutter speed, the pics become completely dark.

what mistake am i doing? Anyone with a good point and shoot cam may take better pics than me handling this epm1 .

Insect by sujoyp, on Flickr

[Soumik]

Awesome!
^^ which lens for the insect?

[nac]

Sujoy,
Second one is nice. Would be better with no frames and some colour enhancement...
And why the eyes of the fly are matt finish. Shouldn't be glossy and wet???

[sujoyp]

@shoumik i have a cheap and super old nikon 55mm 2.8 ais macro lens

@ nac thanks..i havs seen most fly have this type of eye...donno the secret

[kjuvale]

@Sujoy: 2nd one is good.

I made this one B/W on purpose, so that one can read those letters written on the gate of Buchenwald concentration camp.: "Jedem das Seine" means "to each what he deserves." This slogan was written on many other Nazi concentration camps.

[trublu]

@marvelousprashant - Is the bird weak, or they just look like that?

This one's from my Coorg Trip earlier this month.
