Bhupendra

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 quite a long time.

Air Combat

 
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!).

The pics below were shot at a village(SubannaKuppi) near Mysore on the Bangalore highway.
This was our second visit to the same place, may be will visit again as am simply falling in love with that place!
 
Kunal and Zorri in action!!

Landscaping Nilgiris

 
Writing after quite a long time as training @ Infosys doesn`t permit much.
Have loads of pics to upload of all the weekend trips have made from mysore!
Well captured few nice landscape shots at Ooty. One can realize the beauty of the Nilgiris only after visiting this picturesque place.
 
This lake on the way to Ooty left me spellbound!
 We spent a couple of hours besides this lake clicking pictures.

Death of a snake





I couldn't help much rather than just witness this sad ending. This 6 feet long slimy reptile entered the garage today morning chasing a frog and fell prey to the most brutal creature on the planet. Though it was non poisonous one, but that can't stop humans from killing innocent creatures



Puppy mania




Puppy bath



Aaao twist karen!!!




Pup relaxing after a long chase...





Where Am I??

Puppy Ghost



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!!

Butterfly Effect







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 said, "What I'd love most to do
Is walk upon God's Earth with you,
To squish it's mud between my toes
Or touch my finger to my nose.

I'd love just once to walk around
With human feet to touch the ground,
But I have not two legs that swing,
I haven't arms, just these two wings."

And so we went our separate ways
In wonder and surprise.
For we'd both seen God's precious gifts
Through someone else's eyes.









The last, the very last,
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing against a white stone...
Such, such a yellow
Is carried lightly way up high
It went away I' m sure because it wished to
kiss the world goodbye.
For seven weeks I've lived in here,
Penned up inside this ghetto
but I have found my people here
The dandelions call to me
And the white chestnut candles in the court.
Only I never saw another butterfly.
That butterfly was the last one,
Butterflies don't live in here,
In the ghetto.














Dear butterfly,
Majestic monarch of the sky,
holder of universal secrets and reasons why,
color my canvas, touch my heart before I die,
to live in joy, teach me how never to say good-bye.

As you flutter by, you hear me sigh,
things missed because I forgot to try,
on your serene beauty I can rely,
oh what celestial magic you do supply.

Once you did struggle to be free,
you turned your life around to show me,
amazing my angel how you heard my plea,
you've cocooned my mind so I can see.

Lets fly together both as one,
and sore beyond time, once upon,
our silken wings God has spun,
Souls entwined, our infinite journey has just begun.

Happiness Within





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 asked to shoot him! After a few shots he threw himself at the door of the boogie, half hanging in air, though was terrified a bit but still excited. The expression on his face was a mixture of both!





The boy bewildered, puzzling over those incense sticks as my grandma offers her morning prayers to the Sun.

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.
