Re: Camera and Photography Thread -III
Swamyji, congrats on the new acquisition. Enjoy! :) I know jack about flashes :mrgreen: and I don't even own an external flash, but I believe the way to illuminate subjects evenly with flash is to use a diffuser on the flash gun, and/or to bounce the light off the ceiling. You'll need an external f...

Re: Camera and Photography Thread -III
Purushji,
Thanks, I need to make some more adjustments to the pics, the balloons were flying right on to the sun, so I shot with high f point, so the pics are grainy,
Also, B+W filter is $61 and decent Hoyas are around $35, B+W are supposed to be better.

IMO, you just need a decent body to start with, a Nikon D40 is good enough for most amateurs. Or may be Sony Alpha series (they got VR in the body). Choose lens wisely and spend money on it. You can get a fixed 50mm lens and an all purpose lens like 18-200mm, if thats not your style then you can get...
