orAnge cOunty...

There was orange joy
spraypainted on a demolition
The river was a blue and wet tongue
dotted with ducks and skeletal remains

bRight eYes....

My happiness has no words
I have nothing to compare it to
No image, no colours for it either
My sadness, I can paint it into so many colours

snOw WhIte.....

Innocence I saw.
Saw in you.
You are most beautiful.
Your beauty being innocent.

Why so Brutal??

Yes I eat,
dead meat.
My mind knows this is so,
but
my greed closes out the know.
Conscious dictates mood,
but
I need this food.

I will carry my soul in my hand
And throw it in the valleys of death
It is either a life that makes a friend happy
Or a death that makes an enemy angry
The noble man's soul has two goals
To die or to achieve its dreams
What is life if I don't live

Feared and what I have is forbidden to others When I speak, all the world listens And my voice echoes among people I see my death, but I rush to it This is the death of men

This is the death of men
And whoever desires an honorable death
Then this is it
How am I patient with the spiteful
And patient with all this pain?
Is it because of fear?

Sultry sUN....

Sultry evenings with the sun set below

A perfumed flower gripped lightly in hand

Set aside the drones of life from before

And fill the emptiness with the unknown.

gOlden eRa....

I see in the distance before me,

A picture worthy to behold,

Painted in colors of such

beauty,

In colors yet untold......

gOOd morNing....

Moments of life
are measured
and…
treasured.
Life is shared in laughter and love.
Love comes from the peaceful bliss of
just being together.....

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.
