Hershy > Passiflora (139 - 2009) D300 with Tamron 90mm macro ISO400 f9 at 1/200 This was shot at cousin's garden at Ahmedabad. No crop or PP except for a bit of colour correction. Thanks again to Bill (Pador) for recommending this lens! ==== ONE YEAR COMPLETE! ==== Today's picture is special. It not just marks my 365th contribution to the Daily gallery, it reminds me that its been a year here. A year-long experience of understanding and learning about new cultures, places and people; a year-long association with like-minded people and a year-long friendship with so many of you. The encouragement and support I've got from all of you in this duration, is something I cherish and respect. Looking forward to many many more such interactions to come. www.javeri.net
Hershy > Mehendi hands (Best seen in Large or Original size) Beside geometrical figures & flowers, the design includes an Elephant and two human faces. At times the name of the groom is also written (hidden) which he has to find out later on! This kind of detailed design would take 3-5 hours (hands & legs)! for reference check the earlier two photos: http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/4836391_ACj8A/1/271804178_q2CWc/Medium http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/4836391_ACj8A/1/270314185_g8p5k/Medium for more info on Mehendi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehndi www.javeri.net
Hershy > Petronas Towers (180 24th Oct) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Shot hand held with D200 & 18-70mm. No PP. The Petronas Twin Towers (also known as the Petronas Towers or Twin Towers), in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia were the world's tallest buildings, before being surpassed by the Taipei 101. However, the towers are still the tallest twin buildings and office building in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petronas_Twin_Towers www.javeri.net

Hershy > Going home with his catch (029 - Jan 30) D300 70-200mm ISO 200 f11 1/200 more pics: http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7035963_RG9it/1/456783652_BHMxG more info: http://www.thefortress.lk/index.html http://www.javeri.net
Hershy > D700 SP (Pic 26 2nd year) Shot this SP to announce my new camera - D700! Tamron 90mm 2.8 macro at ISO 3200 f5 at 1/125. Shot in jpg under incandescent light - no modifications except for colour correction and reversing the mirror image. Sold off D300 & 18-105 DX lens for a very good price and got a bargain for the new body. D700 handles FX & DX lenses differently, FX get full frame at 12MP and with DX it crops down the frame and shoots at approx 5.1MP. Despite the attractive price, it was a difficult decision but as I shoot more on the wider side and would get wider full frame digitals with am FX lens, I took the plunge. Now I have 17-55 f2.8 DX & 70-200 f2.8 FX Nikkor lenses plus the Tamron 90mm 2.8 macro. The 90mm works as FX shooting at 90mm. I had planned to sell the 17-55 DX and go in for a 24-85 -or something in that range - but after a few tests with 17-55 have decided to stick with it till I come across a good bargain. I did some comparative shots with the D300 12 MP & D700's 5.1 and was SURPRISED at the results. If anyone wants to know more about it may send me an email. www.javeri.net
