Find comfort with me, in each other's arms,
when grief crosses our path
Find strength with me, in each other's strength,
when despair lies in wait......
A cucumber flower!!
I found it in my kitchen garden....
A rose can say I love you
And want you to be mine,
a rose can say I thank you
For being so very kind......
At the horizon, earth and sky reach a truce.
The hill darkens the sun just down.
View from my college roof-top......
Managed to click that somehow..though I was half hanging in air!!
That was the first dahlia of the season in my garden...
The water was chillingly cold!!
Upper course of the Bee falls at Pachmarhi.
Leftovers...accidentally came across it in my garden..
Hills standing tall at Pachmarhi...
I took the close-up just after getting off my bed
If I were a little red ant
I wonder what I'd say
To all of my ant buddies
Who work so hard all day.
Red ants climbing their way up....
you are here today
and gone tomorrow,
without a word either way you are here today,
forlorn tomorrow,
come this way.
Peeking mOOn.......
As the waters flow from the rivers to the sea
continuously shaping, changing,
they affect all they touch,
So does my love for thee.
Bee falls at Pachmarhi....
Thats what I caught hold of in my garden....
- There's a widow in sleepy Chester
- Who weeps for her only son
Second world war memorial - Pune
Hiding behind the trees.....
Tips for great Pictures!!
Look your subject in the eye
Direct eye contact can be as engaging in a picture as it is in real life. When taking a picture of someone, hold the camera at the person's eye level to unleash the power of those magnetic gazes and mesmerizing smiles. For children, that means stooping to their level. And your subject need not always stare at the camera. All by itself that eye level angle will create a personal and inviting feeling that pulls you into the picture.
Use a plain background
A plain background shows off the subject you are photographing. When you look through the camera viewfinder, force yourself to study the area surrounding your subject. Make sure no poles grow from the head of your favorite niece and that no cars seem to dangle from her ears.
Use flash outdoors
Bright sun can create unattractive deep facial shadows. Eliminate the shadows by using your flash to lighten the face. When taking people pictures on sunny days, turn your flash on. You may have a choice of fill-flash mode or full-flash mode. If the person is within five feet, use the fill-flash mode; beyond five feet, the full-power mode may be required. With a digital camera, use the picture display panel to review the results.
The flash will brighten up people's faces and make them stand out. Also take a picture without the flash, because the soft light of overcast days sometimes gives quite pleasing results by itself.
Auto focus problems
Sometimes the object for focus is too small compared to its background, for example you are trying to focus onto a single thin and tiny leaf, the camera may not be able to auto-focus on it. So place fist or any other object nearby the leaf and allow the camera to auto-focus at that position. Thereafter remove the object and click your shot!! I took snapped those red-ants on the orchids in a similar way.
