have had some luck with my camera phone. Although the images arent

sharp, i do like the results I am getting. Apart from the flash

reflection, I am happy with this picture. I did adjust the brightness,

crop and the warming in picasa. Would appreciate feedback.

thanks

My first attempt at creating a moody soft focus picture which

emphasizes the form more than the color. Would appreciate (good/bad)

comments. Thanks

Washington monument and Capitol building seen from Lincoln memorial.

This section of the lincoln memorial was closed closed shortly after

9/11, they just opened it couple of moths back. I had seen a similar

picture a while back, finally I got a chance to try it out myself.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Atanu,

I did try BW, it becomes a little too flat. The color seems to bring out a better contrast. If you want to play with it, i'll be glad to get the original file to you.

Taken around sunset, converted to B&W, selective soft focus applied,

darkened a little to get the details in the sky. Would appreciate

comments.

long exposure set on tripod. Was shot from the Iwo Jima memorial in

Washington DC. got there pretty late, about 5 mins before the event

started, was one among about 75 tripods, someone was kind enough to

let me squeeze in my tripod and set it up.

Had to clean up a little in Capture NX to deal with the smoke. Have

another picture of the very first fireworks display which has much

less smoke, willbe posting that soon. Would appreciate any comment. If

someone has a different picture shot from the same location, would

love to see that.

This is abouble exposure, one for the moon and the second for the

building. Negative was scanned and contrast/color adjusted slightly

using Capture NX. Wish I knew a way to clean up dust from negative.

The horizontal bright spots in the lower half of the image are from

street lights.

Would appreciate comments.

Thanks.

Found on the street. slight color/contrast correction. Would

appreciate comments

Corrected color and contrast. Found this Ganesh for sale when I was in

India in Aug during a festival. For Simpsons fans: Homer dressed up as

Ganesh and tried to steal peanuts from an elephant durinng Appu's

wedding :)

Anyway, would appreciate comments. Thanks

My first attempt at creating an HDR image. Used trial version of

Photomax. Combined from three diffrent images exposed @ -2,0,+2. I am

facinated by HDR images and am trying to learn, would appreciate

comments. If any one wants to work on it, would be willing to post my

original images.
