This is one of the test images I shot with my 135/2.8. I do not like this photo completely but there is something about the composition that appeals to my eye. And I was happy that I caught the kid’s kick in mid air! He shows some great potential, doesn’t he? There are a couple more images in the same series so I might post them over the next two days.

(I cropped the image slightly to cut out some empty space at the bottom).

Something that caught my eye. I wonder if I should have increased the depth of field for this photo so that the red pin was also in focus. But the photo still works I think, no?

There is something about the composition and feel of this photo that appeals to me on a certain level. I hope it evokes similar feelings in you.

Yesterday, I went to one of the Christmas markets here and although I did not shoot much I managed to get this.

A few days back I caught this pretty dramatic photo. A streak of fire riding the clouds of an approaching storm. Oh well I make it sound very dramatic It is just the contrails of an aircraft.

The second in a series of two. This somehow reminds me of an olympic torch being carried around a stadium and hence the title! A bit fanciful I agree.

First one in a series of two. Don’t know if this looks nice or not to you but I liked the defocussed backgrnd and the light breaking out as circles and therefore decided to put it up.

I took quite a few shots of ducks and gulls on that recent visit to the park. I’ll start off with this one. These ducks are quite used to humans as visitors to the park keep offering food to them. So they don’t run away as long as you do not get too close. This coupled with a medium tele lens lets you get decent close-up shots.

From Wikipedia, ‘the Gordian Knot is a metaphor for an intractable problem, solved by a bold stroke (“cutting the Gordian knot”). The myth it refers to is associated in legend with Alexander the Great.’

I really like this inspite of the blurred stem in the foregound spoiling things a bit. The thorns against the defocussed background are what makes this shot I feel.
