    Oh. Then post the figurine pic lol, not movie posters. If that amazon figurine is the one you bought, then it looks awesome.

    Well actually the pics i posted were photographed by me. I only photoshopped the Civil War logo in the first pic and in the second pic i superimposed the figure into the Winter Soldier poster.

    P.S: Look closely at his hands in the first pic, you can tell its a toy :harhar:

    It should work , thats exactly what i do with other games . Did it show " checking for existing files " ? If no then something is wrong with folder contents , you pasting them in steamapps>common>MGS_TPP ?

     

    This is how it should look like i.e. address and contents .

    I found the verify integrity of game cache under local files and it worked :punk:

    Did it check for existing files ? If yes then shut down and re launch steam and initiate download . If it didnt check for existing files then folder name is incorrect .

    This is what i am doing:

    1. Delete the local data from steam.

    2. Close Steam.

    3. Copy MGS_TPP folder in steamapps.

    4. Open Steam.

    5. Install MGS

    Go to steam apps and create a folder named " MGS_TPP " ( confirm folder name from steam forums ) . Paste your torrent files there and start the download from the steam library . It should check for existing files and download the rest of them .

    It's still downloading from scratch ;( i even deleted the local data

    In fact, skipping the portion on budgeting, skills required and other stuff, there are two important decisions that will affect you in the long run

     

    1. Lens Mount - You would probably want to buy Canon/Nikon/Sony depending on what cameras (interchangeable lens) your friends/colleagues have (or are planning to buy). Sharing lenses goes a long way cos those things are bloody expensive. Eg: I've got 4 Canon friends and between them we have a 50mm f1.4, 50mm f1.8, 18-135mm, 70-300mm L series, 10-15mm Tokina lens. That lens set alone shoots beyond Rs1 L. But individually we could afford it and keep sharing.

     

    2. Camera type - You've got 4 choices

    • DSLRs - Variety of lenses. Bulky, huge, heavy and usually hopeless for a novice to handle (i.e. your family and friends if you ever want your own shots taken)
    • Mirrorless - Variety of lenses. Compact, highly versatile with comparable image quality and usually much easier to operate, yet has full DSLR functionality. Unfortunately purist will scoff at it and the prejudice will always be that its an "amateur" camera when you bring it out
    • Micro 4/3s - Some models have variety of lenses. Smaller sensor size means lesser image quality, size, noise (basically terrible in low light conditions). But much cheaper and usually enough for those who don't want to pursue photography beyond a hobby (vis a vis passion, not profession)
    • Compact Systems - Fixed lens. worst of the lot. Also cheapest. easiest to operate. No different than a tourist camera. But a skilled photographer can even get beautiful shots from a cellphone camera.

    My personal preference has been mirrorless after I sold off my Canon 1000D. Its much more versatile. Read up my review of the Sony NEX 5R on my site http://indianphotographers.in/topic/7033099/1/#new (yes, shameless plugin, i know)

    Or check out on Canon and Nikon (unfortunately I'm still waiting for my friends to put up their gear review :ranting: )

    BTW, for beginners, Nikon has an excellant UI which makes it easy to understand how exposure/aperture/shutter speed work. Canon lenses tend to be cheaper and bring out vibrant images. And i recommend DSLRs as your first camera instead of mirrorless to learn the basics.

    On the other hand, the trend shows mirrorless cams are gonna come up in a big way and they capture just as good shots. You just need to learn how to handle and operate them slightly differently. And with electronic viewfinders attached, they are just the same as DSLRs.

     

    whew :suicide:

     

    EDIT: Canon is also launching a super light (smaller) DSLR which shares the advantages of mirrorless and full size DSLRs. Of course might be way expensive from what I hear.

     

    Well the Fujifilm X Series says Hi :harhar: The Fujifilm X100/S cameras are very popular among the purists who love it due to it's 35 mm equivalent lens which is perfect for street photography. And the Dynamic range and low ISO performance is top notch and probably better than any other crop sensor DSLR. And Fujifilm's color rendition :thumbsup: gorgeous. But this camera is certainly not for kunallkw.

     

    Regarding Compact camera: They have improved a lot like the new Sony RX100 which is pretty impressive camera but @30K+ it's not cheap :pulpfiction: The Sony RX1 on the other hand will pretty much blow away any other Crop Sensor/certain Full frame cameras :devil:

    If you want to take videos then also DSLRs are recommended because the proper video cameras which support lenses are wayyy out of our budget.

     

    People underestimate the magic of lenses and the settings these DSLRs offer. Get a basic kit and start experimenting with the manual mode, with on one or two days you will have a set hand on your camera.

     

    I can operate the settings on my camera without thinking if you ask me which buttons change aperture and which buttons change ISO settings, I won't be able to tell but if you give me the camera in my hand it feels like a breeze.

     

    This begs the next question choose your brand carefully, I would suggest choosing between Nikon and Canon only as they have the best lens line up. Once you buy a certain brand, you will have to stick with that for the rest of your life. Not only the expensive lenses you buy but the UI and button placement becomes homely, you will start disliking the others.

     

    I bought Nixon after much deliberation because of basically the almost double battery life compared to its canon counterpart but your priorities and model range can differ so both are great options.

     

    Remember, no one else can use your camera as good as you can, people will find DSLRs difficult to use so lending them is useless and futile.

     

    Enjoy your DSLR life, once you go DSLR, all cameras will feel bad in comparison.

     

    I seriously think the Panasonic GH series is way better than Canon (60D/7D etc) for videos. Haven't tested the 5DMII video quality.

    In the 3rd photo, how did you get the back ground light to glow like that with that flare?

     

    Well it was almost sunset (approx 6 pm) so the golden glow in the background and i love to take pics during the golden hour :bigyellowgrin: The shutter speed was high (1/2000) @F 1.4.

    Reasons Why I love to shoot portraits during the golden hour:

     

    1. The colour of light at this time of day can just makes your subjects glow.
    2. Any particles in the air get picked up and highlighted in the light shining in from just above the horizon.
    3. Shoot into the sun and the possibilities for full or partial Silhouettes are endless.
    4. Shoot with the sun behind your subject and you create rims of light around them which accentuate features and create magic! It’s particularly good through hair! etc etc :P

     

     

    @Ei8t... :good: nice pics! What kind of post processing did you have to do for those pics? And what was that scene? Some short film? :scratchchin:

     

    Well it was for a short action sequence (~2 mins). As for the post processing : I just did some split toning in Lightroom
