rural life

This is an image I shot on one of my outings to Kaas in Satara district.
Its a nice black and white image with a fine mist in the air.

I like two things about this image. One is that although it is intended at only the silhouttes of the objects, it also shows slight details, which makes it rather lively.

And the other thing is that whenever I look into the image, I can hear those morning birds chirping into my ears. I simply love this image.

Editing: None
Shot with Sony DSC W35

Other photos of the outing, which host a number of wild flowers of the westers ghats of India, are displayed here. Do visit them. :)

Down close with a vasp

On a casual afternoon, one monsoon day, I happened to see this vasp underneath a large leaf, and chose it to be my model for that shoot.

This is the closest shot I could take with my camera, after cropping the image.
On closing in on the image, one gets confused with the position of the eyes.


This frame shows the egg of the vasp, in the tube on the left. The focus lies on the egg itself.

Camera used : SONY DSC-W35
Editing : Cropped two of the three images with picasa

It's been an exhausting day

There's nothing more pleasurable than to stroll with your loved one, after a long and exhausting working day.
This picture was shot last year at the, not so frequently calm, Adriatic Sea, Trieste, while on a casual evening stroll. I like the composition of the picture, which suggests the end of the day very nicely. Backdrop of immobile ships gives it that stalled look of the 'end', while although in motion, the birds give it that 'day is over and back to home' feel. The couple gives it that romantic and a very calm feel.

It really is a nice picture according to me!
