THE SONY NEX F3 IS IN TOWN.....But is it worth buying?

A news just popped in.The SONY NEX mirror-less systems added a new member in the lineup.
The New system (F3) added a pop up flash,full 180 Degree flip up screen (makes self portraits easy) and a 16 megapixle sensor,Video specifications are improved over its predecessor, with the NEX-F3 outputting AVCHD 1080 video at 60i or 24p.But there are some Cons too.No 7 fps shoot!,you can not do the overhead photography as you can with the predecessors as the screen do not flip down (was actually the best feature).
I think I will never buy this camera ,instead I will buy a C3 or the best in the line up Nex5 or 5N for just a little extra bucks.For much more detailed specs and info Click Here.

Make Way for HDR photography.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography has always fantasized me.I love the Details,colors,depth in these photographs.So, I started doing some of mine.At first it seemed easy,but I soon found it very hard especially when you don't have a tripod and much needed softwares.But soon I found some free softwares which are just as good and the much needed confidence.Here is my recent HDR photograph of a Steam Locomotive at the Indian National Railway Museum New Delhi.Like it and Share it on my Facebook page Click Here

First Self Portrait with the Super Takumar.

And That's me!

   The Lens(55mm F2 Super Takumar) is great Super sharp!.At f2 it is hard to focus things easily especially if you are not using a tripod and the subject is moving.Gives Great Bokeh.It is a fast lens for low light photography.I got this for 1200 RS (INR) which is a great deal.Using it with a Nex5 is great ..you get peaking and focus assist to guide you to a good focus.At the end I will say that this is a great Lens and a must have.
