When I saw this week’s DPS Weekly Photography Challenge was Panning I thought I would give it a miss. It looked just too complicated to me. Still I went ahead and read the articles linked there. One advice (of course for beginners like me) was- When I was trying to learn how to pan…

Skywatch Friday- Sky Reflection in a Soap Bubble
Last Sunday my daughter made me buy a bottle of soap bubble maker. So when she took her late afternoon nap it was time for me to play with it. I had no particular aim but I just kept shooting the bubbles. Later looking at the computer I realized that I got the sky…
Reflections in Soap Bubbles
I never participated in a DPS weekly challenge before. This week it was photographer in the picture. And my daughter had bought the soap bubble thing. So I tried to capture myself in soap bubbles while my daughter was asleep. Well there are many things that I would like to improve about my pictures…
Skywatch Friday- Himalayas at Prini, Himachal Pradesh

Red Chilies
I sometimes click pictures just because I find the frame very colorful. These days while I am driving to work, the road side flower vendors have colorful marigolds on the pavement in heaps. I drool at them and then drive past. But not with the chilies. They were drying in the same cowshed at Jagatsukh from…
