Photographica

Went out for a long trip with family last month to Andaman s after a long long time. The islands out there are simply amazing, abundant with corals and crystal clear waters. Took this shot while on our way to Elephanta beach, Havelock Island from a speedboat. There were a few uprooted trees @ the beach (as a result of tsunami!). This one provided a perfect frame to click through. The combination of white sand and deep hues of the sea served the right color composition. Pretty uncommon...

This series comprises of snaps taken during my last year`s trip(2009) to Uttrakhand and few other places. Spotted this old man @ Kushalnagar near Madikeri(Coorg) while shopping in the Tibetan market. He was gazing with amazement at me while I was trying to capture his face on my cam. I came across this 'saadhu' while I was rushing downhill after visiting the holy shrine of Kedarnath. He posed immediately even before I could get my camera into position. But later, I realized his kindly...

Finally the rains have taken a break after three months! The blue skies littered with pieces of clouds all around provide perfect backdrop for shooting a landscape. This weekend I took off with my bike and cam to explore new places around the city. Bordered by the Arabian sea on one side and surrounded by western ghats on the other ends, places to explore are infinite. However this time I landed somewhere in the hills between the airport and Mangalore petrochemical refinery(have planned my...

It was a usual rainy weekend and had nothing special planned, rains were there to spoil any well crafted plan. Others were busy with there usual weekend smoking business in the corner of a room. I just started clicking random pics and slowly the pics became more and more interesting. Used a table lamp to back lit the smoke and landed with a handful of pics! Negi lighting the custom made cigar. Apprentice Supriyo following his master.

Took this shot of sleeping crocodile long ago at Mysore zoo. At first sight seems to be wooden carvings! Still tough to guess!

I snapped this baby's expression about a year ago while waiting at the railway crossing near Lucknow. The lens zooming in and out of my P80 caught the baby's attention which I was obviously trying to avoid, but that instead provided me with a splendid shot!! After a while, the baby was back to normal and started playing around. This time the baby's action caught my action and neither did I delay in capturing the moment!! Look into his eyes was captivating! Took this shot a couple of...

I have been visiting this beach for quite a long time now and the wave formations here always excited me. Most of the times I did n `t have my camera with me, so was planning since long to capture the waves at this beach. This evening seemed to be the perfect time, grabbed my cam and tripod and headed straightaway for Ullal beach. The sun had already set by the time I reached over there and rains came splashing down as I started unfolding up my equipment. Another day wasted- I thought but...

I just went crazy last night at the thought of that hadn`t clicked any pics for a long time. It was time to bring out my cam but @ midnight had nothing to shoot. So I simply started clicking pics of my friend, one after the other we came up with new ideas. We kept clicking for almost an hour and processed the pics the following day. These are some of the pics that I finally settled down with. That piece of chain came in handy to be used as a prop which was lying at one corner of the room for...

Yoga@the Peak Have been clicking such pics for quite a time now, thought of completing a series comprising of such pics. Have no definite name for such pics, but surely they all fall in the same category..;) and will also gave me a good reason to put my new Dslr to some good use Me and my friend Kunal were experimenting with our SLRz on the way to Ooty, trying to come up with something new and this is what we came up with. All pics have been taken in single shot mode(no burst modes used!)....

Tired after crying for more than an hour, snowy finally rested in between the pots in the garden. Again so sad....Why did you tie me up??

Puppy bath Aaao twist karen!!! Pup relaxing after a long chase... Where Am I??

My sis decorated these pups on their completion of one month, but these playful creatures instead started pulling and teasing each other with these ribbons tied across their neck. oooucchhh.. don't pull my ears!! C'mon you lazy piece of meat..wake up!!

My sister brought home this puppy while she had gone walking last Sunday morning, it was lost & crying in the middle of the street. It didn't hesitate being lifted up and started playing around merrily as it reached home. Had breakfast..played around...now time to sleep!! This puppy caught everyone's attention at home though it was sent away the next afternoon. The other two newborns, completing one month two days ago. Hot shoe!!

Yesterday a butterfly Came floating gently through the sky. He soared up through the atmosphere Then drifted close enough to hear. I said, "I'd love to fly with you And sail around the way you do. It looks like it would be such fun To fly up toward the summer sun. But I have not your graceful charm. I haven't wings, just these two arms. I've been designed to walk around. My human feet must touch the ground. Then magically he spoke to me and told me what his wish would be. He...

At farmhouse I asked this little boy to do something interesting and this was what all he got. I was on my way back from Bangalore to Delhi in the month of august, when the fear of swine flu had just gripped the whole country. With the precautionary mask on my face had nothing more worthwhile to do than using my cam. Started with the countryside landscape outside the moving train but was soon bored off, interestingly this small boy, who was witnessing all my photographic activities came to me...
