Sky Watch Friday- Sunset at Gurgaon

Sunset at Gurgaon, India

I actually wanted to zoom in to the sun and wait for some birds to fly across. I realized that the zoom is not that good and that birds were really not interested in flying across for my picture. Hence settled down for this shot instead.

Gorgeous Sunet Today at Gurgaon

The Sky at Gurgaon Today was Beautiful, Police Van Notwithstanding

It Made for a Beautiful Reflection even in Concrete and Glass Structures, Gurgaon

Gorgeous Sunset at Gurgaon Today, So What if there is a Mall in the Scene

And then people wonder why I carry a camera all the time. The only problem is that it attracts a lot of attention or I would have carried my SLR around with the big zoom lens. But I am convinced today that it is an excellent idea to carry my Nikon point and shoot most of the time.

And you have to believe me when I say there was a partial rainbow too a little earlier but my attempts to capture it are not worth showing off. What a beautiful day after all!

Sunset Today- Gurgaon

Sunset at Gurgaon, Today

I was roaming out and chatting with my sis on the phone in the evening. She asked if I had taken any picture today and I said no, instead I was working in the garden. Then while walking I saw that the sun was still quite high and I might manage a picture after all. My sis was out of her house. She said there is very little charge in her phone, so she has to keep it down. So after saying bye to her, I picked up the camera and went out again.

I have not edited the image at all for the color, only cropped it on the left side a bit because of an awkward block. I am pleased with the result!

Another Sunset at Triund

Taking a Train Tomorrow Again!

Sunset near Bhusawal, Karnatka Express Train

I am taking a Shatabdi again tomorrow, but this time for work. I am wondering if should even carry my SLR or not? But better to have more cameras than less. What do you say!

One Last Diversion before I set to Write the Spiti Account

Sunset at Komik, Spiti, Himachal Pradesh, India

Afterreading so much on photography forums about sunrise and sunset being ideal times for photography, I was very keen to utilize that time for clicking at least a few pictures. The picture above is from the second day of our trek. I was quite tired and Komik was anyway the highest village on the trek. But come sunset, and I ran with my camera to a place nearby from where many peaks were visible. It required a small steep walk but I did manage to do it. And when Dilip (my nephew) say these pictures on the camera diplay, he was like oh! what a glorious sunset!

PS. Sorry for still not being able to write the concrete account, actually I have a lot of stories to share but I wonder where all my time is going!

I am back after spending a few days at Prashar Lake. Looking at the picture above can you blame me if I talk only about this visit for the next few days on this blog?

Not Good Technically But I Love the Picture Now

Sunset at Khurpatal

We were coming back from Nanital to Khurpatal in December 2006 (this was a college trip) when I noticed this glorious sunset and took the picture (Nikon Coolpix 3200) from a moving jeep.

Obviously, at that point of time the actual scene was crystal clear in my mind and I was pretty disappointed with the picture. But now after 3-4 months, this picture reminds me of the actual sunset and I am much more forgiving about its technical flaws (don't ask me what they are, I just know this one looks flawed).

PS. A damn busy week ahead (even till now it has been very hectic). Not sure how much I would be able to blog, worst still, I have not been able to read much (blogs or otherwise).

Sair Kar Duniya Ki Galib ...

Sunset at Kedar Kanta, Har-Ki-Doon Trek

Changla Pass, On the Way to the Pangong Lake, Ladakh

Sair kar duniya ki galib, yeh zindagani phir kahan
zingagani gar rahi tou , naujawani phir kaha.....

Rough translation of the Galib's Couplet

Lets explore this world while we can, Who knows how long we may live
And even if we are alive, how long are we going to remain young ...

I know it gets lost in translation.

Anyone else willing to try a hand at the translation?

I can Understand Why Bangalore was Called the Garden City

I have been for a few days in Bangalore and I clicked all the lovely flowers, a few coconut trees and a faboulous sunset around the housing complex I am staying. It has been raining on and often and flowers seem to just grow out of their own free will.

Though Bangalore in general has been changing , so much traffic, narrow roads, pollution and washed away roads are the things that we had to negotiate if we went out of the house. I have uploaded a few of my pretty photographs only.
