Remarks ?

A content Musician

I find the contentment in the instrument player phenomenal. A review request I posted on Photo.net, people suggested that an angled view would have been better. Though I respect the views, since it was an spontaneous shot, I did not really got a chance to shoot another one.

Isnt that a cute shot...

I would have loved it even more if the shot would somehow gave view of the giraffe's height... :)

Red hot tulip...

I am not convinced about the level of redness this particular flower should have, but I still like the shot somewhere.
To me, it feels like the flower is of color fire-red... comments ?

A gentleman (Matt Simpson) suggested on dpreview that I could have processed the image as posted here, with which I absolutely agree. Reduced noise and cropping have brought the image in much more prominence.

Light rays from behind the clouds...

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...

Tiny Purple beus...

Small yet beautiful...

Colors of autumn...

I specially like the different shades of green and red intermixed yet visibly present.

5.5 Terapixel camera

Drying leaves in an abyss

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..

Shot in Lauterbrunnen in July 2007. Shared today :)

Stage at a concert

 

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...
