India in Stop Motion- A First Attempt
httpv://youtu.be/fZTom11k2ss I read about stop motion photography at Digital Photography School. After that I had to try it. There is another reason why I wanted to do a trial run. I have booked my trek to the Everest Base Camp in May and I want to try this out with my trek pictures. So doing…
Saturday with Flowers- Himalayan Meadow Primroses
I used to post flowers on Friday as well as the skywatch. But I would usually become lazy about the second post about the flowers. So I decided to shift the flowers to Saturday. These are Himalayan Meadow Primroses that I clicked on the trek in May 2011 in Uttarakhand. Found the name via Flowers…

I admit I like this picture much more for the fallen tree and the wood than the sky.This was the trip when my cameras were on strike so this is the best I could manage. I have noticed one thing about the Andaman beaches. They do not allow vendors right on to the beach, hence…

My complete trip report for the Andaman trip is now up at Gonomad. Here is a short quote from the main article. What a trip it was! I learned that Viper Island was an open jail, where prisoners used to be in fetters, as they had nowhere to run to with miles and miles of…
A Short Video Clip from the Light and Sound Show at the Cellular Jail, Port Blair, Andaman
A short clip from the light and sound show at the Cellular Jail, Port Blair, Andaman. We watched the Hindi one and it was done extremely well. Om Puri as the pipal tree was superb. One young tour manager from Make My Trip said to me later that when he watched it for the…
Havelock, Andaman Island
This was the backyard of the hotel Sea Hell Resort at Havelock. This was the shore where I took a dip with my camera but no hard feelings. In fact I remember Lakshmi used to do a post on Mondays about where you would like to be? Wish I was here, at Havelock.
