Oh... here is the second image


I have just cut down the yellow/orange and just about pushed the exposure(that's hardly much that i pushed) and i thought it looked like its shot in the evening so i actually had to add a bit of black. But i loved whats happened overall. The green the blue, the brown and what adds is the reflection of the branches on the building!!! It might appear ordinary to some but I'm happy with it! :)

Only if my battery hadn't let me down....



It was all going peacefully...we all were there full on with our tripods shooting in the night. It started off slow for me, but later there I had just starring to find interesting frames and my camera battery decided to sleep!!! What a shame!!! I think i just got 2 images that i liked. This one is one of them....

I miss my clay I left back home...








Sunday was a very relaxed day for me after a long time. I was restless and didn't know why! I felt like I was terribly missing something! I remembered that it had been such a long time that I had dirtied my fingers in wet clay which gave me so much peace.
I often used to play with clay in my free time. I used to buy it from a hobby shop back home in India.

Once in Diwali (Indian festival - the festival of lights) I had surprised my close family members with my own little amateur creations. Some useful things for day to day.
Today I dug my hard drive to find these images to share with everyone. Please have a look...

Do all artist need an art Gallery



The other day in the city we visited many art galleries. All of it was spectacular! The places we went to and the work that we saw, what i couldn't get out from my mind was the little lane we went to! It was full of graffiti, there was this window i noticed there. Why i liked it...person who did this window may not even know if anyone caught the attention of it. It just stands there by itself, inside of a lane, surrounded by graffiti and not in any art gallery but it caught the attention of my camera. Its not me who captured the window, the window outside an art gallery captured my attention.

You've got mail !!!


Every day when i walk towards the institute and on my walk back, one think that catches my eye is the mail boxes. Mail boxes outside all the apartments/houses on my way. All stand there doing the same duty but they don't look the same! They tell me the age of the building where they stand and sometime even the age of the people living inside the homes there! All of the different than the other! Somewhere if the type of boxes were same they were they stand on different coloured bricks! Some looked stylish, some spic and span, some looked old! Some said no junk mail, some them self looked like junk.
The other day i couldn't stop myself and i had to tale pictures of them...share them with all!
They look nothing like no one has seen before, but i still felt like sharing them!
