Hi to all photography geeks

I ready to buy my first digi cam and insanely in love with Canon sx210 IS. Should I buy it considering I am a beginner? I will be using mostly for my trip etc .... Please suggest !!!

ps: Can someone tell me the street price for it.

[INS-ANI]

Nothing new about this image, just wanted to post it in B/W as it looks distinct in this format.

[Cool G5]

The B/W treatment looks better INS-ANI on this image.

@INS-ANI, first time to a CAT-scan, I would like to say WOW!!!

Gr8 image!!!

How about giving some color, red or light green to her eyes only

But, really very cute pic.

[INS-ANI]

@ cool.. thanks
@rhitwick.. giving color to her eye will take away its innocence on the face.
Red will give a devil look to a cute face. tried to darken the eye.. but then it
becomes a zombie...

hey the cats r cute...great pics...B/W looks bit different

[rhitwick]

@rhitwick.. giving color to her eye will take away its innocence on the face.

U've got one innocent pic, right? Keep it as it is. And make other copies of it.

Red will give a devil look to a cute face.

I'm talking about exact this thing. Red, Green and Blue gives different meaning to photos when used in eyes.

And, here u've made the photo b/w, so a gr8 opportunity to bring some other meaning to it.

I would request you to edit the photo and make three copies of it with changing the eye color to red, green and blue only.....oh and very light yellow too. (that makes it four)

Let the whole pic stay in b/w, but change only the eyes
Would u do it plz, just for experiment, don't u want to see how she looks that way

[INS-ANI]

I will try it. i checked a red eye last night and it was quite different from what i had expected.

Will post them as soon as i can.

[INS-ANI]

@rhitwick
Thanks man for the advice.. i learnt something.

Here are the images you asked for:

Have tried to keep the iris sensitivity.
will upload yellow later.. the one i made has poor color.

[rhitwick]

@INS-ANI,
WOW!!!
Green one came really good. Red is too much, make it as light as green one. Blue is hard to find.

Use sky-blue color to fill eye. I think you have used navy blue.

[Chirag]

Photos by INS-ANI. Edited them a little.

[Cool G5]

@INS-ANI - B/W is better, color don't work for me atleast.

[INS-ANI]

@rhitwick.. Didn't realize red was too filled up.. was editing on college CRT. But now i see the difference.
And you know what.. i had to learn to recolor on Photoshop, but guess i should have had a bit more patience with color selection.
I will correct the same and get back with more color combinations.

@ chirag
Thanks, now i have a quality to match to.
PS: the second Red eye looks better.. its not too sharp wrt background.

@COOL
I agree, B/W can display clarity much better than color.

@all.. As of unforeseen circumstances, i have an exam to appear before i clear my BE. Will try to give my creativity a break before it reaches cloud 7.

Will continue more just after the exams, and i have quite a few targets.
How about a coal mine?

Just before i pause , this is my last pic..
Was trying something abstract when power was out

[toofan]

Use of this finger is controversial. Hey these cats might have look more better with some different composition.

[sujoyp]

I love plain B/W with different shades...Good try by INS-INI & Chirag

[toofan]

Tour of Saat Taal. But I failed to capture the beauty of Nature there.
Comments and critiques welcome.

[sujoyp]

@toofan ...great pics...I loved 3rd one...even if someone feels its overexposed a bit

Nagpur Sky today was red...a great chance




Please advice which one is looking better...I just could not decide

BTW that frame around pics r looking nice...I will try too

[rhitwick]

@toofan, I loved the 5th one....
@Sujoy. IMO 2nd one...

[Cool G5]

@INS-ANI - Hmmm.. Still not a great pic.

@toofan - Nothing special in first two pics(except good composition). Third one looks nice inspite of heavy light. Last one is ok.

@sujoy - Second one is better than the first. Still a little cropping would help from top.

@all - My first attempt at selective desaturation. I know selective desaturation doesn't shows up when the subject is filling the frame but still I couldn't resist doing in on this sparkling yellow car. Please post your comments on the same.

[sujoyp]

^^hey thats great ....how did u do it...using photoshop??

[INS-ANI]

@cool I know.. i was randomly editing to get an abstract.

I know i m supposed to be studying.. but power went down and i cldnt possible control myself in candle light... here are some unedited shots.

[INS-ANI]

@cool .. the image looks stunning

[himadri_sm]

@all - My first attempt at selective desaturation. I know selective desaturation doesn't shows up when the subject is filling the frame but still I couldn't resist doing in on this sparkling yellow car. Please post your comments on the same.

can you please explain your process?

[toofan]

thanks all for your feedback. Yup i failed to capture the natural beauty of that place may be my mind not working as i am suffering from cold that time. Nose full of nonsense material.

sujoyp: First one will look much better just process it to correctly.In second one you zoomed too much.
eg:


Cool: now you are solving the mysteries of Processing. Car pops out from the frame. Nicely done.

Ins-ANI: Very nice series. Keep the good work up and forget about studies. Bas kutch hafte aour nahi pado phir to saal bhar masti hi masti hogi. (fail hone ke baad)
Most of them are very very good abstract.

sujoyp: some compression flaws but these due to the low size of image.
