New camera backpack unboxing video!

Recently I bought a Lowepro Vertex 200 AW backpack. When I got it from B&H, I made an unboxing video. I hope you like it.

This is from my FB feed -
Photography madness  - 'unboxing' videos!

Those who are fanatic/passionate/whatever about photography, are crazy about buying camera gear. They actually want to see how others have experienced buying something. They actually watch 'unboxing' videos on youtube before buying themselves.  I recently bought a long planned camera all weather-backpack from B&H.

THIS is my unboxing video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpPn2ke8fLA . Enjoy!

Launching my Photography company dealing with Fine art sales, creative portraiture and a lot more.

Great news! Finally moved to Full frame. Got the much talked about Nikon D3. Very soon added it with Nikon 50mm f/1.4G. Stunning sharp images. Still retained D300 as a standby body.

Lowlight performance of this combo is just amazing. Even at ISO 5000 also, the images are super sharp and clean.

Bought my D3 & 50mm f/1.4G from www.adorama.com. Excellent people.

Portrait professional !

This is a beautiful software. I got the 10.x first. They had a free upgrade offer to 11. I can vouch for it. Instead of spending hours smoothing the skin, applying lipstick, whitening teeth, all you have to do is - open the image in PP. That's all. It will offer to make the needed changes, click ok and voila! your photo looks completely 'photoshopped' in just seconds. Try it. You will love it.

It looks like they have renamed it portrait pro. Oh by the way, I used their download option.

I just used my photo as an example -

Move into Speedlites - Yongnuo Mantra

Having gotten tired of the home studio that I bought a while ago (that still works like a charm), I wanted to try out the cheap and best Yongnuo 560 flash after reading rave reviews on Amazon.com. After I ordered it, it came to me in like 3-5days. I also ordered the RF602 (transmitter + receiver combo) so that I can enjoy off camera flash. The results have been  unbelievable!

Here are the product links -

All you have to keep in mind is that if you shoot in manual mode with shutter speed = 1/60 & f/7.1, you get the best results.

Very Impressive! At around 60 dollars you can't go wrong.

Too much photography..

Welcome to you!
I know, I know. There is nothing like too much photography! I have been doing many things in photography of late. But mostly I have been doing it on flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/raghu-gollapalli/) as there is no memory limit (literally). I can upload upto 300mb per month. But here it is 1gb for good. In fact I have been uploading every day one image.

Since too much has been happening, I will list them in chronological order.

Thanks for stopping by :-)

Several new photos uploaded into my flickr page
