Hi Friends,
To begin with, I would like to thank all the gurus who helped me decide what kind of camera to go for ...... and to an extent which one to go for in THIS THREAD.....
From the day I bought this camera, I have done some extensive reading on photography and its concepts and even have managed to learn a lot. Basically its all about the 3 main rules of SLR shooting ...... Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. Few other things like metering and all does matter but not as much as the above three. Rest is all your imagination and composition that makes a great snaps.
I am starting this thread to request all of Canon SLR users on this fourm to share their pictures that they have been close to, or pictures that they feel took some effort to compose, along with the EXIF data (which is important).
This would not only help the new noobs in photography like me to learn how the details were taken, but also would be a nice platform to showcase and share your pictures, after all that is what a photographer wants....
So here we go. I might be the slowest one to share as I still have far to go in terms of pictures that have some worth to be shared, but I want gurus to participate, and share in full swing and keep the thread flowing .......
Lastly though the title says Canon SLR users, Nikon DSLR users can also share their creations
, this would also give us a fair bit of comparison as well.
Users can use any web hosting site, flickr is preferred. Dont forget the EXIF data.
Will start with my couple of pictures .....

Sharing this image just to show how we can freeze the fast motion changing the shutter speed. The bike here has zipped pass my camera atleast at a speed of 30-40kmph. But it seems as if the picture has been taken with the bike standing absolutely still (thats DSLR...
) .... Initially I was getting shaky image, then I started increasing the shutter speed to higher levels. That though gave me a perfect freezed shots, it were coming out to be too dark (ofcourse coz of high shutter speed), I then increased the ISO to 800, which eventually gave the me that perfect shot I needed ....
