December Dawn

So I am doing better than I thought then - back publishing before my big vacation... A few pics from this evenings walk at Fairlop Waters


You see the leaves have gone but the snow aint here yet either

 

Some random favorites

Can’t seem to get the color composition this well every time.


This has been edited using Adobe Photoshop, which am not really good at. This one though is of two pictures, one with and the other without me posing. This is in the corridors of the Ceramic gardens, Barcelona.


Lastly, I don’t expect to get to post again till am back from my holiday by end of Jan 07. I found this snap in my archives taken by my sister in law near my home town Bangalore and its amazing how different it looks to me now only cause I’ve lived away for 4 years. Added to that, I didn’t manage to get out of Bangalore during my last 3 holidays at India. This time I’ve lined up a number of short trips for the 4 weeks I am there and wildlife, beaches, treks all’s in the agenda... I just can’t wait to leave.

 

Autumn 2006

It's a delayed autumn and winter here at London. Last five days I motorbiked to work, I couldn't but notice the rate at which trees have shed leaves and changed colors. Each day felt a new season.

I was sure the autumn is at its peak and that its the best time to go photographing to the country. After much exploring, the decision was to head to my local forest park - Hainault Forest.

Pictures follow.

I wasn't alone. Guess its like 'that time of the year' for photographers. Dave, my friend at work also mentioned would go for a photography expedition for the weekend.

I have been training a dozen of seagulls at this park for a while now. They are quick learners. Yesterday, I ordered them to line up on the logs for a picture.



As an amateur photographer I am learning to zoom into my subject space these days. So much so I think I need a macro lens now. This one, yet again was spotted by Ramya. She's not only a perfect camera gears manager but a keen observer. The highlight of the day was this Robin.

Wasn't easy tracking these flying ducks

Some demonstration of Autumn colors follow





Lastly, to express my zeal for London photography as always - I zoomed in to capture the skyline of central london thats from this park about13 miles away (birds flight distance). Against the sunlight, not best visibility one could have, the result isn't a perfect picture but it makes it to the blog. Even the London Eye can be seen.

Not just blogging the blog

I want more out of this one ...this blog. this life.

A pic and thought for the day, as this boring Wednesday evening is spent just to spend it off ...
I ponder upon what to do with this one... this life. I am just walking the walk as these birds just fly their beautiful flight. I am just living the life. A earn-to-spend, eat-to-survive, sleep-to-wake-up, wake-up-to-go-work life.


Plotting a plan is the key.

nb - I decide to chatter this blog up finally. No more don’t-post-cause-u-gonna-deffy-regret-the-unwanted-post-for-its-nonsense thoughts. Not a short lived over enthusiastic shot either. I Publish.

What you are seeing here is a seagul shot from above it...


Some learn from their mistakes immediately... Some just don't seem to


(ok I shall clean my camera's sensor and lenses soon)

Brighton, England

Royal Pavillion - one of the unique palaces of Europe apparently... it did seem to have a lot of islamic influence to its architecture from outside... and a mini Taj Mahal some say - Ramya couldn't see how.




So the discovery made y'day is that there's a beach 45 miles away from my place that's as good as this... a bright warm day was perfectly spent
