First time in life I bought a new lens, it was a 50mm prime and I was excited. It was bright, fast and sharp and I thought why don't I take it outside to shoot some stars and see what will happen. In the past month I tried to do it, but either I was busy or the sky was busy with too many clouds, but on this day it was almost clear. So, I was shooting the stars and then I turned right and I saw that the coal was coming out of the chimney. I thought hmm... Quickly turned left, got my focus and I told my mother to make more flying coal for me. After a few test shots, I finally caught many in one picture.
Some quick shots I took today of my guitar, along with photography one of my passions. Nothing very rare or incredible, but I felt like uploading them :)
This shot is somehow inspired by this shot of my dear friend Clara, who I've mentioned before. She's an impressive photographer, you definetely should check out her work!! :)

Taming Light #41
Deep in space 'Light Farming' is a big commercial enterprise. However, when space storms occur and the strong gravitational waves and galactic winds strike the vast fields, much of the crop can be blown away like tumble-weed. Long strings of tangled light form and drift aimlessly in space. No longer viable as a cash crop for use in the space construction industry, registered 'spacecombers' , legally allowed to scavenge the 'flotsam and jetsam' of space, can find rich pickings here.
Another one of my "Refractographs"; created from a small scene the size of a 35mm film frame. The lens is removed from the camera and the 'scene' placed over the lens hole, working in the dark with a single beam of white light aimed at the camera this is the resultant refraction pattern or 'caustic' captured directly on to the film. This image is recorded on colour film and although appearing as 'black and white' there are some subtle rainbow colours to be seen.
I'd like to take a shot straight from the façade, but I am short and there was a wall. No need to say it was forbidden to take photos... this is my best without seeing :)
I have to say this is one of the most interesting stair eaves I've ever ever ever seen. I didn't have my cam with me when I went for voting and although no one could make me walk that way again, I went back home and took the cam and and got back here to shoot this.
About the photo:
Bangalore's proud hanging bridge at KR Puram. Taken on April 25, 2010.
This majestic hanging bridge used to attract me for long. I chose this spot for a possible interesting photo for the Bangalore Infinite 2010 photo competition. I believe that the magic happens in the dawn and dusk for photography. I attempted to capture the bridge with good symmetry against the warm evening sky. It was bit scary to stand between vehicles moving at high speed in the median of the bridge. I was happy with the result of this hand held shot which was exposed for 0.3 seconds.
About me:
Sketching is my passion. My drawing, however perfect it is, viewers always compare with the original. They are not able to realize the beauty of the sketch as it is. This forced me to get my own reference picture. Hence I started 'clicking'.
Now-a-days photography is my main hobby compared to sketching.
I love to take portraits; particularly happy and expressive faces. I get lost with clouds. Even I bunk office to chase clouds ;-) Now-a-days I enjoy seeing and capturing with wide angle lenses which give awesome dimension to pictures with interesting perspective. I love to freeze the frozen temple architectures of India. Some day I will release a book on amazing temples of India.
By the way, I am a software architect in Bangalore.

"This is the eighth song from Secret Gardens album Songs From a Secret Garden, from 1995.
"We have invisible heart-stings between us. Our hearts are woven into these fine and sensitive threads that tie us together. These strings can only be seen with our hearts. But sometimes we step on these strings because we are not careful enough and that causes strong pain. Heartstrings is about missing someone and the invisible strings of our hearts." -Rolf Lovland"
The guitar provides the melodic backbone for Morris dancers, weaving folk tunes that keep the rhythm flowing and the energy alive. A vital part of the performance, the guitar bridges the music and the dance, adding warmth and drive to this centuries-old tradition.

My birthday was last Wednesday and Giselle decided to give me a guitar for my birthday. I never knew how to play instruments in all my life and really, this is my first ever musical instrument that I own. Giselle though, is a pretty kickass guitar player and she's been playing since she was a kid so she's got a lot to teach me. I love it and I love the challenge, so far.
