And now Abhishek has posted distorted photos

Guys, it takes only one click in lightroom for lens correction.

He hates our 10-20 boys, keeeel him! :bleh:

^^ Correcting Lens Distortion

It's very noticeable with ultrawide lenses and you need to correct most images shot with that lens.

 

[FaH33m]

^ Yeah I read that already but I cant seem to find a lot of distortion in the snaps posted here. Maybe it will be easier to notice once the corrected snaps are posted and compared

Someone please guide me how to do manual metering for AI lenses on D90.

Arundathi Castle by Ravikanth K, on Flickr

^^This last pic is a HDR Pano . Clicked 6 vertical shots in auto-bracketing mode (with 2 exposure variance) totaling 18 shots. Merged each auto-bracketed set into HDR and then stiched into Pano.

^Seemed like you went AWOL after the WD contest for a while.

Man, how the hell do you guys keep taking such awesome photographs.

I need to learn all this. I suck at it

 

[YoGi-Sama]

@rravikantt: I think the HDR part looks slightly overdone, but apart from that awesome click. One question: What do you mean "Arundhati Castle"? That's a actual name of the castle or the title was inspired by the movie "Arundhati"?

 

[Freaky]

His Flickr description for the picture states that the movie was shot there

 

[medpal]

@rravikantt : you need to do semi manual deghosting of your HDR if you are using photomatix. there are movements of people noticable.

also you need to do a perspective correction of the castle, it looks triangular bit.

 

[FaH33m]

Two more from me

Nah.. my Airtel BB sucked lately, they took weeks to fix it

Humm yeah.. i thought i overdone the HRD a bit, but it already took a painful 3hrs from me to get there on my 2008 iMac and finished in hurry at end.

Its not inspired, but the movie Arundhati was actually shot there. Its located at Yaganti, Karnool Dt, Andhra.

I used Nik HDR Fx Pro. I got to correct that. THanks for pointing it out.
