Diwali

It was my cameras 2nd Diwali last month and both he and me enjoyed it..I think :P

anyway my neighborhood really tries to its utmost to appear tacky...green ,blue,red lights everywhere, it was like you landed in "light-land" (okay so that was not a very creatively thought name but you get the point :P) 

So from where I live you could see these powerful spotlights shooting into space, which I must confess, was the first time I'd seem them up close and they did fill me with absolute awe.

And then it was out time to decorate the house and I think we did really well...with candles on every possible shelf,on the ground, in the foyer even our neighbour joined in.Candles are my fav ! so I went nuts getting all possible of the colourful candles

Then while I was going nuts over candles I stumbled over this -

Isnt it just WOW ! I was talking this photograph at a low shutterspeed and I shook and then this magnificent masterpiece showed up on the screen that changed the way I would capture lights forever ! 

Its like this spark of light that's connecting all the candles ! 

well then i went nuts over this and got these amazing photographs 

-

Amazing innit ? And no editing what-so-ever ! 

And they are really easy to click ! Quoting my sister " all you have to do is move the camera in a symmetric manner after you click the click button (and keep a low shutterspeed)" and shes is like really small :P

Finally to end this Diwali post here is a picture of my sister overlooking some candles ...she had sit like that for 30 mins while i got all the settings right and captured the perfect picture.This the closet I've ever come to acting like a pro photographer which was nice :) 

Microphotography

Now im not much of a microphotographer but i have a friend who is and i wondered what the whole hype is about, so i tried some on my own ..turns out its not oh-so-tough ! if you have a DSLR you can make almost anything look good and professional .Only have to get the composition right ,and of course, not be shy to sit in odd positions while trying to get a close up of your object in public!

Barney the Doggy (Part-II)

I was going throw my collection of Barney(My neighbours doggy) photos and i found so many more :D
