Shot this at the "Metro Center" metro station in Washington DC. I was not allowed to use tripod in this place. So, I had to rest my camera on the handrail. I shot a raw image, applied tone-mapping using photomatix software and increased brightness in the shadow areas and decreased brightness in the highlight areas. I used my Tokina 11-16mm wideangle lens to shoot this.

Your critiques and comments are most welcome.

Tried something on Meghana's post

Hi Meghana

I tried some post processing on your second picture. Cropped it...bumped up some colors, tweaked curves and framed. Hope you like it

Otherwise...feel free to kill me (This offer is not for Sameer :p)

Blue Splash

I shot this using my Nikon D70s and Tamron 90mm macro lens. I used my SB800 for backlighting. ISO 200, f/11, 1/500s. I tied this glass to my son's toy (a bus) and rolled it on a table. When I gave a jerk to the setup, water splashed from the glass. I moved the setup with my left hand and fired remote with right. And yes, I placed this whole setup in my bath tub :)

Jone's Creek Park

This is a random click at John's creek park in Georgia. Testing this upload for "Size Limit" problem as mentioned by Raj.

Hi All

When I try to upload an image, it says I have reached the limit of uploading images.

I tried after deleting my older posts. But, no change. I still get the same message.

Can someone let me know a solution for this or if someone is facing the same issue.

Thanks
Raj
