I am back......

I am back, I am 78 days old and this time I have done lot of things for the first time......

I travelled out of Eluru for the first time...

I travelled by train for the first time...

I travelled by car for the first time...

I came to Hyderabad for the first time...

I travelled by Auto in Hyderabad(Oh my, the pollution my nose went for a toss) for the first time...

I got into a Volvo bus for the first time...

Ufff....I am tired of the list and I guess I can get few more if I think but like my dad, I do not like to think too much ;-) so I am leaving it there :-).

Me in the train to Hyderabad. My dad could not get ticket so he climbed the upper berth and did some monkey business with his camera.

I loved Hyderabad climate, its lot cooler when compared to Eluru. I was there in Hyderabad for 2 days and went back to Eluru....

In my new dress which my GrandMom gave me when I came to Hyderabad for the first time :-)

More from me later........

O'Man or Man!, No

What does a full bottle of Vodka make you feel?


I am loving the way a DSLR performs while shooting in absolutely low light conditions and the freedom it gives.

The light within...

I clicked the above picture at my home, day before yesterday when there was power cut.

No matter how dark it is.......
No matter how low you are......
No matter how bad you feel......

let the light within glow bright and guide us through these short lived difficulties towards everlasting happiness!

Happy Dushera!!

I wish everyone Happy Dushera, may your dreams, wishes, come true and you taste success in all the endeavors.
I clicked the above picture at my brother's work shop(Recently he got into wood business, here they design, cut/carve any hing that can be made of wood, more details some time later). He calls it WoddeN'ice.

Ok...Am I? Are you?

After having DSLR for a day, lot of thoughts and ideas were rushing in my mind. I am not sure if its the "New" factor or its genuine interest which was bringing up these ideas but for now, I am Full On! and I guess, time will answer this question.

One thing which was on my mind throughout yesterday was to shoot a can of empty Diet Coke which was lying on floor for couple of days. I rushed home after work, freshened up and sat with the can of Coke and my Camera. Looking at the can for a while I composed my shot in my mind and what I want to emphasize. Now for the lighting, there was only one power saver bulb and I am not a "Flash" guy that much. So I decided to give an ISO boot and give it a try.

Below is the result and I am very much happy with it(considering its one of my first shots with a DSLR). Are you?


Technical Specifications:

Focal Length: 55mm

F-Number: F/5.6

Exposure Time: 0.8 Sec

ISO: 1600

Metering Mode: Spot

Miscellaneous: Hand held, the black back ground is my laptop, post processing done in PhotoScape

Eureka ..!!!

:-), Don't worry I am not going to run around like Archimedes did nor did I discover something like him. It's just an expression of joy and satisfaction which came by one of my craving desires getting fulfilled.

Its owning a DSLR and Yes! Today I got my hands on my new Canon 450D DSLR and WoW what a feeling it is. Its shutter sound is the sweetest and satisfactory sound I heard in recent times(Of course only after my daughters first cry).

Currently my idea is to get greater insights in the art of photography and get into the technicals of it. With the wonderful gang around me, I guess I am never short of feedback and learning. So, "Gang" be ready I am going to pester you with all by doubts and questions ;-).

Wish me all the best and I do not mind if anyone want to sponsor for the lens....he he he...just kidding ;-)

Waiting for tonight......

Tonight, I will be getting my hands on my very own DSLR, a Canon 450D(If the store guy sticks to his word and gets one today). I am very much exited about it and the whole new world its going to open for me.

Lots of places to visit, lots of pictures to take, lots of people to meet and more over lots and lots of things to learn.

So world, here I come..........
