The wavy Tricolor

The wavy Tricolor, originally uploaded by s_raghu20.

This was captured at the Aero India 2011, the bi-annual air show held in Bangalore. It was my first ever attempt to watch and shoot these metal birds.

I have realized that the sharpness of some of the shots is less than ideal, perhaps a function of their speeds and movement. Also a function of my reflexes and my equipment.

Such a wonderful image, I can easily say, I havent seen anything like this before. Absolutely great effort. I envy you, the photographer, both in skill (that you did so good) and in luck (that you had the chance to travel to such beautiful place - in Norway somewhere)...

great effort indeed.

I got my new lens.... Canon 55-250 IS

2008-05-07T10:58:00.005+02:00

Wow, it feels great to buy something... especially when its a lens... :)

So, after deliberations for few weeks, I finally ordered my new lens last weekend. Got it soon afterwards. Its a Canon 55-250 IS F/4-5.6

There are quite a few reviews ( review-1, review-2 ) available for this one, so I wont attempt at writing one, but I can point out a few things from my experience..

The build is not so nice. The feel in hand is much more plasticky than the standard kit lens (18-55 from my EOS 350D days). Even though both are plastic, the finishing of the kit lens is much much better than this one.
There is a certain whirring sound when IS is enabled, if you hear really closely. Some investigations (basically asking questions on forums) revealed that its normal due to the IS function.
I have just taken my first batch of photos, and not completely done with processing yet. However, the first impressions are great. I have always had the problem with my hand not steady enough for a high-zoom shot, and the IS in this lens is just the life saver for me.
Few photos from the first outing are posted on my flickr account.

Love this thing. Will write more when more experiences show up.... Here are some shots...

One of the cutest images...

2008-03-20T09:07:00.003+01:00

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.

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.

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. :)

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.

It is not honestly my shot, since it was taken by my better half. :)

It was another sunny afternoon, and the new spring leaves still dominate our surroundings. She took it not far from other other locations that inspired my shots.

Violets, originally uploaded by s_raghu20.

While walking to my gym, I found this small bunch of violet flowers (dont know the exact name.. :( ) blossoming in the middle of dry leaves at the bottom of a tree.

Couldnt resist shooting since it gave me an interesting contrast. It was pretty sunny too, so the sunlight also played a role there.

Afterwards I sat down on my laptop to touch the saturation a bit before posting here.

2008-02-26T06:26:00.000+01:00

Found this in my old image collection (which I am reviewing these days). Immediately liked it and thought of sharing... I have to admit, its not the cleanest images, a situation shared by many of my old Minolta photographs.

Is it only me, or someone else also sees a column of light descending from skies into the far away end-point of the walking trail. Doesnt it look like the people are walking into oblivion...

Drying Flower in an abyss, originally uploaded by s_raghu20.

One of my rare attempts at close-up photography. found this by the sidewalk when I was going to the gym.

I dont have any sort of special macro lens (as George asked me the moment I asked him about Macro photography). Just the normal kit lens from my EOS 350D kit.

I hope its worth looking at.

Feel free to comment.. pls..

We went to do some sleghing an hour away from Winterthur (forgot the name of the place :( And while returning, I looked at this and thought, "How can I not capture this...".

Stage at a concert

2008-02-17T07:44:00.002+01:00

Shot without any help from Tripod etc. It was a concert in Winterthur, such things I frequent even though I dont get a word of the poetry thats supposedly sung there (I dont get German yet.. :( ). So, I tried to capture the stage smoke and here's how it came out...

Comments Guys...

In this one, I specially like the way green color has come out from the lights in garden. Lovely view....

Tracadero from Effel Tower - Night shot

Paris Night Shot 2, originally uploaded by s_raghu20.

Took it from the top of Effel Tower, when we were in Paris in October. Spectacular lighting, I think such views truely give Paris the title, "City of Lights"

I like the way the detailing has come out despite that it was a landscapic shot and that it was so dark.

Kudos to the camera. :)
