It's My World!

It was not long ago that I was the only reader of my blog. It was just me and my blog - a very small world. I think I was more like a lazy traveller who just wanted to see things from his perspective and enjoy it. One fine day it changed and I started travelling through the blogs, the best thing that could have happened to me. That's how some of you know me. Still I am not a frequent blogger, but lots of years is left for me and hope to reach as many as possible.

While everyone is sending wishes for a friendship day, I thought of saying this...


This picture is special because I had taken this picture, with an intention to make it look like a greeting card (well almost!). I am not quite sure how much you all like it ( I really was wondering what text color to choose from, gosh! how tough it would be for the web designers). But since this was my first attempt in doing so, in a way it is special. Am glad to share it with each of those who come across this.

Everyday is a new day and an opening card to get to know someone...blogging is a great way to do that. I do not know how long I would do it actively, but till then the people, their writing and their life's I would come across would definitely be as exciting as a journey for a treasure hunt.

We never know, how valuable it could be, like...
Some known faces...
Many unknown...
Thoughts that do not have faces...
Expressions that travel far...
Excitement that lits up the blog arena..

...again, am glad that you are in my world...and anyone who passes by also, have a great time.

NOTE: Just for all our nature conservationists concern - This was shot in it's natural habitat, no plucking - no touching. I usually don't disturb them.

No Strings...ven flying!

Launching himself...Byresh wanted a frame in the air...and I thought it would be good to have a low angle shot. Had set the shutter & aperture settings manually to get the color mix...

I was also keen to get my favorite sky blue & cover da maple tree color. Waz glad when I saw this video next day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oh4nTdIB2Y , as it almost had that trace [my latest favorite song "siragugal vandathu" from movie SARVAM ]- Would love to be in such a place...sometimes it is hard to describe how you feel on seeing such visuals...but can only be felt.

Have had a liking for animation always, best way to get into my dream world of visuals...da video 4 some reason reminds me of Aladdin's land with the silhouttee effect, wit sun setting...!

Split Illumination...

I do prefer shooting dark with black in contrast...but when the sun was shining bright 2 days back on a trip and when I had a fancy roof above me, am not gonna take a walk away without few shots...low angle gets things above you in perspective...

These were shot with a normal Canon power shot digital camera not my SLR. As soon as I saw this place in a shopping complex, I knew camera does'nt matter. So if you have time, don't let the opportunity go, I aint luk gud but if you have a nice dark costume and a cooler, give it a go...it should do it...it all depends how u wanna hav the sunlight on you!

I knew what exactly I wanted, so had told my friend the angle & frame I wanted and positioned myself to the light, the way I expected leaving the zoom to him.

N.J., I know you love roofs lyk me...give it a try next time!
