The Photography Thread !

How good is Nikon Coolpix L810 for capturing aircrafts from a distance, occasional portraits and decent macros? My workplace is like 400-500 metres from the runway so do I need a super zoom camera or will the normal zoom sufficient? My budget is 20K max and Im beginner in photography.
 
Nikon L810 is not that great . If you want maximum possible zoom , than get a super zoom bridge camera like the Canon SX40HS or Panasonic FZ47 but they will be slightly bigger in size and heavy compared to compact cameras. If size is a concern go for Canon SX240HS

"The Misty Wall" by Sudarshan_SMD, on Flickr
"An mind boggling phenomenon to observe. Clouds that are moving gets stuck into a valley resulting into a Misty Wall formation, which can be observer from mountain top. When you enter from the clear mountain top into the misty feel, you feel as if you are into new world, a oblivion."


Feel the Nature by Sudarshan_SMD, on Flickr
"Thick forest, green pastures, cold breeze, crystal clear streams of water, heavy cloudes and little bit of child-ness is perfect recipe to feel the nature."
 
Before posting some more pics...I would like to ask the Gurus out here, this might have been asked many times before & kinda n00b but still:

how do you post pics online ?
what is your preferred resolution for uploading online?
Do you compress it, as the original JPEG size is very large for uploading on flickr/fb n else...
If you compress, then how ? And how do you maintain the clarity & avoid pixelation?
Plz guide me guyz !!

I usually use "Save for web" option in Photoshop with "convert to sRGB" box ticked and reduce the quality option till i see no pixilation at 100%, also reduce the canvas size to around 1600 or so. All these option are available under "Save for web" dialogue. Still I don't see good quality in FB tho.

thanks rravikantt for your tip. I also used to do something similar in Lightroom, so there is no sure shot formula for low sized no-pixilated (read high quality) images to post on web.
 
Yes I'm quoting it but that's epic. Really good colors there !

And here are the last few from the sunset shooting day . Hope it's not an overdose :p
Never sire, awesome pics again !
