Thanks venki and Sid. Yes, DOF could have been better. Thanks for your valuable inputs. I even tried sitting to get that picture, but there were people sitting all over the place, on the steps. I heard ideal time for shooting is round 8-9 pm in the evening, where crowd will be less. I have seen some breath-taking pictures during that time.

Amazing pictures folks

So its just me who owns a DSLR and using it like a point&shoot. I always set it to 'Auto' and click pics.

The technical details on your posts are greek and latin to me. Where to start? I don't want to read the manual. Is there a easy-to-read online guide or something?

A few more added

Excellent colors from your camera. I loved the sunset.

. I am still with my Panasonic FZ-28 with 18x leica lens. The main reason I could not leave this camera behind is because of the leica lens. Leica used to manufacture F2.8 throughout the zoom range (from 36-432 mm) for earlier Panasonic models, now they are not doing that, but still one of the best lens.

This was taken in July 2009 fireworks in our place. ISO 400, f 7.2, I did with continuous shooting mode.

This is where I started.
Ken Rockwell, AFAIK has not taken the world's best photograph or something.. but he is the best photography teacher on the web. Strobist and a few others are good. But this guy in plain english is very easy to follow. Full page.
