After that I used Photomatix to create the HDR image using tone mapped technique. The picture has come out well but long way to go when I compare to other professional HDR images

• TTL auto, auto, and manual modes can be set.
• Bounce and swivel head.
• Usual synchronisation speed is 1/180 sec.
• Super FP Mode up to 1/4000s
• Built-in diffuser can be used to obtain wide-angle coverage at an 8mm focal length (equivalent to 16mm on a 35mm camera).
• AF lamp to extend the reach of the camera’s AF system from 6m to 10m.
• Red-eye reduction, slow synchronisation and second curtain synchronisation.
• Flash coverage is automatically adjusted in several steps to correspond to the image area when zooming

The high-powered FL-50 electronic flash has been developed especially for use with digital cameras. Various adjustment modes, high speed synchronisation and a large range of accessories make the FL-50 a creative working tool for the Olympus E-System user. The FL-50 includes a newly-developed super FP mode. Unlike conventional flash systems that close the aperture down to provide synchronisation at faster shutter speeds, the Super FP activates the flash from the moment the shutter opens until it is fully closed so the fill-flash can be used in the brightest situations and stop action at the highest speeds. Synchronisation across the entire shutter speed range is possible  even up to 1/4000 sec.

The FL-50 provides GN28 at a 12mm focal length (equivalent to 24mm on a 35mm camera; ISO 100) and GN50 at 42mm focal length (equivalent to 85mm on a 35mm camera; ISO 100).

Hope it is nice

It is a very interesting technequie to create cool high resolution images. I am going to try sometime latter this week. Some software which will really help to do this.

Its bit expensive to buy it but can give it a try with trial version. If it works out well may be buy it latter

After sometime I took the plant to my studio ha ha my room and I have to prepare it. I soft sprayed a lot of water from distance. I did it couple of times. At different levels I took pictures of it. Out of 17 shots I loved only this one and here it is

Hope that was good if not please give me some tips how I can improve it

These two has come out well with some effects with 10 sec shutter speed and maximum aperture value.

Having fun

The crowd was so much even the police were unable to control them. There was no problems but traffic was little affected by it.

The total people count was more than 18,000. It was really a big one.

Lot of kids were enjoying it dancing big time while they were playing their favorite songs.

The crowd was amazing but the program was not up to the expectation. It was okay

Drag racing is a sport in which cars race down a track with a set distance as fast as possible.

Drag racing usually involves two cars racing each other over a set distance, usually 1/4 mile or 1/8mile. Although distances range from two hundred meters to one kilometer, the four-hundred meter (1/4mi) drag race is the most popular. Races of this nature test a vehicle in terms of acceleration and top speed, as well as the driver with regard to skill required and concentration. Although the driver does not have any turns to negotiate or opponents to defend against, apart from the competitor in the other lane, he or she must be very accurate with gear shifting to avoid over revving the motor and throttle modulation to avoid loss of traction during the race.

During drag racing events, vehicles are classified into different classes by various criteria that take into account the extent of modifications to the car. These criteria include engine capacity, configuration of cylinders, frame type, vehicle construction materials, wheelbase, horsepower to weight ratio, number of cylinders, whether or not power adding devices such as turbochargers, superchargers or nitrous oxide are employed, vehicle type (such as car, truck, et cetera), or even make and model for limited entry fields. The aforementioned divisions are in place to ensure that the cars are evenly matched during the race.

Drag racing vehicles are special in that they are modified to be lighter and more powerful than in their standard form. A lighter vehicle means that the power-to-weight ratio is increased and hence a greater acceleration will be achieved. Power increases vary depending on the extent of the modifications to the engine. The table below illustrates some common outputs for different induction configurations for a typical drag-racing vehicle. Please note that the numbers expressed are not by any means limits for power, but they’re rather accurate indications of typical levels of power produced by daily driven drag racing vehicles.

The above text is taken from wikipedia under drag racing . I took around 480 odd pictures and some have really come out well. Still learning how to take photos

Out of 100 snaps I took only few have come clear and good. Most of them are blurred. Have to read more about lighting and some camera tricks.

The last one was to highlight a sad man sitting and relaxing in a busy city whatever he he he ….
