> Hey! Wonder how many of you noticed "The Oddity" in Moin's first photograph of the guy painting the "GOOD Hair Cutting"....
> Have you????
> Did you notice that the painter is starting with the last alphabet "N" of the word SALOON????
> This painter probably is well versed with writing "Urdu" which he has nonchalantly applied to writing/painting English
> Moin - if that's another reason why you captured the image - hats off

Thanks sir... th letters are generally stenciiled on the white background... i guess he started with the letter N of the saloon as Good Haircutting would have dried by the ti.e be reached S. Thank you so much for the appreciation.

Awesome pics guys!

Dr. that tonga pic is superb! And your pups are so cute!

Moin, a small suggestion - if you could add an identifier watermark or something which Doc Nishith has done. More so since you take a lot of portraits.

And yes..... that knife pic is the best of the lot!!

Gear used is a modest battered Nikon D90 with a 50mm 1.8 and an occasionally used Tamron 17-50 f2.8 lense....

Moin,
> Please don't put your modesty & the 'modesty' of your battered Nikon D90 in the same basket
> Remember 'Cartier Bresson' - his all time immaculate B/W portraits were shot with his 'modest' pre-war Leica using 50mm lens
> It's the person behind the camera, whose critical eye & imagination evaluates the possibility of capturing an image that tells a story....
> Once this is in place, the next is to use the available light, frame the right composition, catch the moment that compels one to write a 1000 words about it
> Its not about aim & shoot - but to compose & create an image that leaves a lasting impression....
> Go through the moments captured by the all time greats like Cartier Bresson, Ansel Adams, Yousef Karsh, Eric Meola, Richard Avedon, Alfed Eisendat ....
> After all 'Photography' means 'Painting by Light'....
Keep creating

If you concentrate you can also make out the faint figure of a horse standing beside the tonga

Now that you mention it, I can see the horse! Photographs, as in the old days, are meant to be printed and not seen on a 15" lappie screen with multiple reflections!!

Is that big bolt action gun yours?

[Kumarnishith]

Is that big bolt action gun yours?

A lot depend on your budget & intended use. Both Canon & Nikon offer excellent DSLR bodies & lenses.

Kumarnishith you got a lovey collection of species, whatever composition you execute succeeds better if you leave some breathing space around the subject.I have observer that the tighter composition is more favored among western photographers which is not exact fit for natural history.
