Drought

With no photography opportunity and being swarm with work for a past few weeks, i have decided to post some old pics taken with my old D40 and the 18-55mm kit lense. Looking through these pics, brings me lots of nostalgic memories of the places and my journey into photography. The below sequance is in chronological order.

1) Hike to Pantai Keracut. One of the first pictures taken with my D40

Rooftop Shooting Part.2

Boring night tonight. Feeling quite tired after work and warm after a nice warm bath. Wanted to watch some top chef with my wife but there was a powercut(again). So decided to go to the rooftop again to shoot the moon and cool off in the night breeze. I was eying the moon for the pass few nights as it was really bright n round. Good thing we had clear skies tonight and what a perfect environment to do this.

Shot in raw(full 12-bit) and convert it to jpeg with no sharpening. Just crop n post. Didn't expect the 18-200mm VR to show such details but i am not very satisfied. Wonder if anyone can lend me a 80-400mm VR to shoot the moon?

Rooftop Shooting

We have clear skies here in Bangalore nowadays. Not a cloud in the sky. I always wanted to try and shoot stars and here is my chance. Only a few bright ones were visible but long exposure surely bring out those hidden ones. The three stars lined up is called the belt of orion. Learnt that from a classmate of mine many years back. The picture is a bit blurry not because we have earthquakes here but with the long exposure we can capture the rotation of the earth. Couldn't help but to snap a pic of the neighbourhood as well.
