Part II(Vishwa Shanti Stupa -Delhi)

Gautam Buddha










@toofan I take pictures of landscape or in general in good light (for monuments ) with small aperture ie stop f7.1-f11
to make sure pictures are sharp .later if required I do high pass filter (I find it better than other sharpening technique ).

@Cool5 :I use CS4 or I sometimes use picnik.com to add borders .I'm not sure about irfan view .

in CS4 -->image ->canvas to addd borders .

[Krow]

^That one is great... I'm not half as good at human photography.

[Cool G5]

Both are really good pics Toofan.

Did you click a picture where there are just mountains sans the tree?
The second one brings out the emotion. That's really good.

[toofan]

Yup those will also be comming soon.

[Stuge]

in b/w you should try to avoid obstacles like trees that is in the picture other pciture is awesome .

Grass Stocks!

This is How the villagers in kumoun store there grass pile for further use of animals in summer when there is no grass available. And one more interesting fact. In my village (khoont, Almora) people store the grass over an tree.And these were called "Loota" (in kumaouni language) If I will find any image i will post it.

[toofan]

Thanks friends. I will be posting those pics soon.

I would have used the flash at the second image of beggar but I think that it would have not created such drama with her face.

@Stuge: I had images without tree. But In that Image I did it purposely. But it seems the idea doesn't come good. Yes I will surely Send you the image with hills.

[Cool G5]

What a beautiful place. I want to visit there now.

[toofan]

A full view of Himalayas from the Temple of Nanda Devi, Kot (Graud).

[Krazzy Warrior]

^ OMG! Awesome!!!

[Krow]

@ toofan Did you use wide angle lens for that? Great pic.










All the above images were taken before the TDF meet, so before I became Krow, so please excuse the watermarking.

[Cool G5]

@ Toofan - Good panoramic shot.

@krow - The water flow looks good but a bit underexposed. Where did you take them?

[Krow]

Some mountains near Bhivpuri Road (before Karjat). Exposure is a difficult thing to get right under bright sunlight. If anyone wants to edit those images, feel free to do so.

[toofan]

Krow:Nice shots specially first two and the last one.

Krow one trick you can apply to the flowing water.

Use a slow shutter speed to give a look of flowing milk. Just try that sometime. Milky effect also looks as good as frozen water.

[toofan]

These images has been taken from the Valley of Graud, Bageshwar District arount 8.15 am. When I was returning from Village : Bajyula. Its lengthy but For full view I had to take three images and then merged them to one.

[Krow]

^That's really good man... Seamless. Great work. Thanks for the tip. I'll try that next time sure.

[Cool G5]

Awesome toofan. Damn good.

[Anorion]

@toofan, for the panoramas, did you blend them manually or use photomerge on photoshop, or some other stitching software?

[toofan]

Thanks friends.

@anorion: for the first panorama I used the photo stitch software provided by Canon. Its easy to use and provides various formats to save the image. I saved to .psd.

for that second I used the photomerge in photoshop. Its easy and flexible also. But you have to do the cropping yourself.
