International Me!!

Would I Host A Contest!

Something diffent is in my mind, lets see how it shapes up!

(My own contest)

The Sultanpur Trip

Awe..It was 5 in the early morning, we hooked our bags and headed to the Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary... and rest is history!

We tried a lot to make this trip a exclusively best. However, the time was not right - the bird members of the sanctuary were against us and called-off the services for the month, till 12 Sept. So, could not manage to make best 'The Bird O Graphy' trip (easy - the bird sancury was closed when we reached there after an hour long journey).

But while returning, to reduce depression, we got down at Basai Railway-station track and here is my first 'Railway Session'.

Nothing is best than a heart found on street! it fallen down - someone must have really messed-up with another’s heart, as usual!

No offense, just was trying to work on macro style with a prop, I liked it, hope you too.

Curously, we were taking photographs of rail tracks but pointed one person down and ran down to get a talk with him, wanted to ask him for when the next train would come in, and few other things!

Entire thing went very nice so happy for my first Rail-O-Graphy.

After the failed plan to Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary, one of the members come to visit me at my 4/144, Gugaon house. Here is his/her pic!


He/she did not apologised, but still good to see some birds around!

The man that you can see here is one of the faithful rail employee! According to him most of the others do not play their duty faithfully. He, with his honesty, does his job and has a great contribution to Rail and Peoples life, he is proud of that! .... His entire day go in just moving on 25 kms on track, checking if things are right or not. I appreciate his efforts, and these are the real heroes who keep maintaining such things (why, it is very venerable to get stolen and easy to pull-off the ground and there is no mechanism in India to check disrupted track-length, still there are very less casualties, All credit goes to people like him! Salute to people like you Dude!

The First try

Being Natural - Royal Relax

Nasty squirrel - the most common species ever seen in the city but has a royal nascent attitude. Specially look at sitting posture and observe them while eating nuts. It has always been photographed by most of new shooters, as me!

# during my first photography trip to Khutub Minar, New Delhi.








Traffic to the extent





My first try for the 'Night Photography' with the new cam, slow shutter speed ... at Gurgaon, near 32 Milestone, under the flyover.

I have a point to say

This is my all time favourite. I could resemble his to one of my classmate :-) (no offence plz) .... however, the clan close-up triers to ask lot of questions - what would be his/her aim in life, what he would be thinking of, what would be his plan for the day in the morning or so. Forget it, nothing specific, let's have a look on next!

Lightning the darker spot

:-) Believe me or not, every photograpy tyro will try for this pic some day or the other. So its my time to give it a chance. ..the candle creativity, and it turned out Okiesh -  isn't it!

No, enough is the play-ball for now

Wo ho, this is the cutest one, Isn't it!

We were just strolling around India Gate lawn, and clicked few good snaps, one of that was this.

I liked this trip b'coz my wife practiced hands on the camera and few of her own pics were also awesome, like a super model, lot's love to her!

No-one should dare to betray

Haven't seen such a creativity in stone. The two lions are pillor statues at the National Musium, New Delhi. Nece na.

:-) confused for colors not the reach

'Geting one of this' is a good wish but beliving in a Bigger Dream of All, would land you in confussion - and being a girl its her characteristics to be like that.
I am sure she must be thinking of color and design instead of size and cost! And trust me she was stairing at all those for long... like this (may say - was taking time to decide on best one).

Green is beautiful

Green is the best colour in the world! So soft and lush green to look at! Delhi has lot of such things around, plantede and maintained by MCD, very nice, keep it up (at least).


Hangder-man

Spiderman hanged till bought!
The best thing is about the variety available to play. In my old days only the baloons and cars were suppose to be played with, not the supers and mans with!

Beauty lies in the light and camera

Hmm, long after 30 shots this is one of the preeminent pics. However, the flash light behin it is just a jugad for light and it took lot hassel to mount the set-up like this. But finally it was worth it!

Most amazing is the real texture in the petals.

New tric on the move

Got it, the art of slow shutter speed to make a light trails. Now, time is to get it as a perfect planned creative shot. Will make it sure to get more with best effect, gradually.

Water and the flower

What I love about the photography is the way you try for a best shot, and the patience you illustrate with each snap!
And it really rewards you when it comes to one of the best. Here, the water drops are maually sprinkled but the feeling for the flower is natural from my heart!

Sunflower and the yellowing..

This Sunflower pic is a great fun to talk about - it was so awkward situation, let me explain - going out and photographing is very easy, but it is equally awkward when you do it in your own colony or surroundings.
Believe me or if you don't then try photography in your own society or colony. In actual, when you are familiar with surroundings it make you feel nothing much special about it. Same thing in some unknown place would make you comfortable to shoot for.
So this is the pic in my society park, and after a long frustration I decided to go there and shoot, it was around 4pm when there is no-one around. Still, few kids came around and were looking at me like I am doing some jadu-tona or what, it was like making fool of yours. So.. going forward I will not shoot in my own area! But the pic is good, I I admit!

Should just say nice..

Credit goes to Priyanka, this was her suggestion to try this out... and came-out nice!

We were sitting on my scooter near Rajiv Chowk, NH-8 for photography (which is not common, in Gurgaon at least). The dust on ground - I generally tell people, here the earth do not hold water and get dry very quickly, thus the dust storms are commom in North. However, the pug-marka and tyre-marks are very brillient to shoot, nice suggestion dear!



Hippo.... fights hunger (diffrent thought)


A Hippo is the most coolest and best animal on the earth (I think so) - does not need to fear of anyone, and looks like no worries at all.

Good work Hippo.. it reminds me the 'Hippo Fights Hunger' - baked chips/slices that I ate last year, I must say - I impressed, loved that taste.

However, the marketing or distribution is not so effective thus you can not see it around so easily, but if find it do not miss to try.. here is the link for ref. http://marketingpractice.blogspot.in/2010/03/hippo-fights-hunger.html
