Thanks man. I have uploaded few pics in my facebook. Too lazy to upload on flickr coz still I haven't taken much pics. It's cloudy outside and there are just some boring buildings and trees. Waiting for a good sunny day so that I can take some macro of leaves, plants etc... If you are on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...8&l=bf71aa7205

[sujoyp]

@gigacore....saw ur pics on facebook....the diya pic is good

[Cool G5]

@sujoy - Thanks.

@rhitwick - Yes, its taken with my camera. I had too go very close & then focus manually. After which I cropped the original image.

@toofan - Yes, its cropped heavily & there is noise though I was on ISO 200. Tried to install wavelength denoise in GIMP but the plugin does not gets installed. You know any other way to remove the noise in GIMP(Linux)?

Today in an exhibition got some canon prices
1. 1000D - 24k
2. 500D - 40k
3. 550D - 49k

It seems Canons r costlier then Nikon

[Cool G5]

Yes they are costly but you're free to choose from either. Nobody has forced you to go with Canon.

[Gigacore]

@sujayp, Thank you. Canon models are comparatively quite expensive than the Nikon models. There is a competition between each brand and so they have released models that compete too.

For instance, Nikon D3000 costs 24.5k and Canon 1000D costs 23.5k. Both these models are good for beginners (like me) but Canon's 1000D comes extra features like Live View and Movie mode which Nikon's D3000 lacks.

In the same way, Nikon D5000 and Canon 500D competes.. there are many differences. In few cases D5k tops 500D.. and in few other cases 500D tops D5k.. And the price difference between these two is just 3k

As CoolG5 said no one is forcing u to go for Canon or Nikon. It's up to you buddy.

[sujoyp]

Thanks for the advice friends....I am not getting an SLR soo soon ...maybe will get in december

Just bit curious that when D5000 and Canon 500D r direct competitors y the price difference is 7k here

[Cool G5]

@giga - The 1000D doesn't has movie mode either.

[toofan]

these are the mrp and these sell very low in grey.

Cool: hope you got the review. I had mailed it to you.

[Gigacore]

Shot on my SE C510

[Cool G5]

@toofan - Yes I got the review. I have even replied via PM. Thanks for it. Your pics are wonderful. I also saw them on J.J Mehta Forum. The mountainous range is awesomely captured especially the one which is shot from a low angle & one can see clouds above the mountain.

@giga - Nice pic but composition can be better. While nice macros on FB.

Had a TDF Mumbai meet today & I just returned back. Though didn't snapped much pics(wasn't photography meet) but will post the best pics of the day tomorrow. Stay tuned!

[izzikio_rage]

@ stuge: "date with stars " pic is amazing ....what were the settings that you used?

@toofan: great shots of the temple ...specially shot no 2

one from my side

[Gigacore]

@Cool, Thanks. Composition? It was shot from a moving bike at ~60 kmph. I was myself amazed to see almost little or no blurring. Also, the original image is quite tilted. I made it look fine on GIMP.

[sujoyp]

@izzikio_rage beautiful looking pic

Cool: thanks dear.

Izziko rage. excellent image. I liked the way you included the tree and the shore in bottom part of image. Nicely done. And the reflections are just making me to explore more and more.
