Achieving sharp focus can be such a b****!

28-07-2008 - Zoom abstract

This technique, if executed properly, can work wonders for portraits, I think.

I assure you that nothing or nobody (including self) was inconvenienced in the taking of this picture.

19-07-2008 - Candyman, Part 2

APAD_20080719 (Candyman, Part 2)

The aftermath.

I shot another nice picture today, but I'll save that idea for a later day now.

18-07-2008 - Candyman, Part 1

APAD_20080718 (Candyman, Part 1)

There were other photographs of me actually biting into the candy, but I liked this one the most because of the way the shape of my lips mimics the shape of that bit of candy from where I bit my last morsel off. Pacman, anyone?

15-07-2008 - A piece of cake

APAD_20080715 (A piece of cake)

The etymology of that phrase had better be at least as interesting as this was tasty.

13-07-2008 - Not-so-busy Oliphant bridge underpass

APAD_20080713 (Not-so-busy Oliphant bridge underpass)

God Bless Sunday evenings, for how else can one explain such a serene vista so close to the railway station?

Too bad about all the suicide attempts. There's a big (tall) parapet hoarding on the overbridge right above the road. It's not as if that can totally prevent suicides either, as there's a sizeable gap in the middle of that parapet hoarding/wall. It would've made for a better picture had that hoarding not been there.

11-07-2008 - The horse-boy

APAD_20080711 (The horse-boy)

That was once nicely decked-up baraat ghodi.

I have another couple of pictures with much less cluttered backgrounds but the exposure wasn't spot-on (didn't want to use flash, so was dependent on the lights used by the professional shooters covering the event).

10-07-2008 - Unbreakable is good

APAD_20080710 (Unbreakable is good)

For it means the stuff bends and morphs but isn't brittle. Else I might have had my hand wrapped in a bandage.

09-07-2008 - Spotted my lunch!

APAD_20080709 (Spotted my lunch!)

Life is unfair. I was on this guy for about 10 minutes (had to go to work so couldn't spend too much time too) as he was sitting on that metal T-bar looking around trying to spot his (or her) lunch, waiting for him to take flight. I hand the camera to my wife and he immediately spotted his lunch and swooped down.

08-07-2008 - A piece of history

APAD_20080708 (A piece of history)

Brownie points to anyone who can correctly guess why.

This ball is a memento to the India team from our CEO, who's a big fan of the Red Sox.

06-07-2008 - In your face

APAD_20080706 (In your face)

I'll hopefully have a (really interesting) story to tell about this in due course of time.

05-07-2008 - Everybody makes way for the buffalo

APAD_20080705 (Everybody makes way for the buffalo)

The train ran over a poor buffalo, apparently.
