A friend of mine sent me this photo embedded in a "Good Morning" email. Since I dont know his source of the shot, I cant really credit it the right way. However, hats off to the photographer behind the photograph.
I liked the image so much I couldnt resist writing about it. The whole image carries a vintage look, from the 20-30's of Westerners. The subjects in the shot just add to it, so much.
Look at the expression of the boy's face, looks like he's watching something closely and something nice is about to happen. Its fantastic, absolutely loveable. Looks as if he's on the way to break into one of those kiddish squeak, when they are too happy.
The girl is not a bit lesser cute. She is the personification of innocence, cute little hands clutching shoes, sort of surrendering to the happiness around her...
If I would have shot this image, I would probably not want to change the texture of the shot. Unbelievably cute.

Looking Vertically Up
In the woods again, this was one spot, where I was in the middle of these tall trees. I just looked up and when I saw what I saw, the blue sky, the green tree tops, converging tops of the trees, I knew I had to take this one.
I wonder what kind of feeling this one gives away.
Sunset bouleward...
In the woods around Winterthur, it was the evening of a sunny day. The shadows were getting longer, and the walking paths were getting quiter and quiter.
This one looked like a path leading to heaven...
Alien growth
Nice closeup.
I tried to take one for myself, but it didnt come that close and clear. Here's the shot I tried, http://photography.sraghav.in/2008/03/thorns-under-closeup.html. See how the areas are in and out of focus at different points.
Guess I need to study more on the closeup photography.

Keukenhof Reds
Its an scanned image, and therefore not so sharp anymore. But, I love the complete/total red color that oozes out of the flower petals.
Some might say that the red channel is overblown, but I beg to differ.

Though the background is white, it doesnt look overexposed..
Great control there...

Thorns under Closeup...
Took this casual shot in the neighbourhood. I specially like the way the focus has shifted from the close thorn to the farther one...

An Amazing portait..
Many characterstics stand out for me.
Black and white
The lighting
the expression on model's face... nearly neutral, but still not really neutral
New leaves...
Another shot from my neighbourhood lawn. Spring is on the way, and sprouts are appearing everywhere here and there...
For this shot, I suffered a bit of cold, had to lay down on my side and put the camera almost on the ground.
Now that I see the shot, I feel it was worth it...

Friend turns out to be a photographer.. a great one at that...
Mr Frank Van Heertum, a friend from work, turned out to be a prolific photographer.
I didnt know him for long time, but another of such friends mentioned his photography hobby, and gave me his url. Here it is... http://www.vanheertum.net/
I know only that he has a Minolta DSLR. Plan to enquire about the lens collection he carries. Got to know more about his equipment.
Went through a random selection of his shots, and it turns out really good. :) Dutch from nationality, he's travelled a lot and his collection of photos is a great way of jogging through memory lane. :)

End Of The Day
Found on Flickr. An absolutely amazing shot. Of the types which I dream about shooting myself.
Great shot "creativesam" :)
Lake Zürich close to Sunset...
We were coming from Luzern by car and came across this point from where you could virtually see all of Lake Zürich.
It was around sunset time and the sky looked wonderfully colored. I took this shot also from within a moving car, through the windshield.
The Online Photographer
While surfing around, or not actually, from one of DigiFotoCH posts, I came across this site...
The Online Photographer (TOP as they call themselves).
Will post more about it..

This photo is moving... isnt it ?
Believe me, I didnt plan this shot to come out as it has.
But it has come out really really wonderfully great. We were in a car, moving pretty fast I was enthusiastic about the possibility of shooting through the front windscreen.
The shot looks as though the road is coming over to you, all charged up and crashing...
Love the shot... :)
Bee on a flower
It was a photo hunting day for me, June in Switzerland, perfect time of year for spring photography.
And I found this bunch of bees hovering around this plant full of budding flowers. The colors from the flowers were great as it is, and the bees were giving the shots another dimension.
First time for me to shoot insects, though not in the macro sense. Still, I liked it very very much.
Rose
A wonderful rose (though not a perfect rose) I caught last spring in Winterthur.
It was a rose bush, and I had to go the max of my zoom range
Sky from a Car
We were travelling from Agra to Mathura, while I was in India in August 2006. The evening was stormy and yet I could find some blue sky behind the clouds... A very interesting shot altogether.
