Although I wish both the stems were in focus I still like the way this photo has come out. I find it to be quite surreal.

This is a photo from the same time and place as this [one](http://www.visual.arthedains.com/index.php?showimage=174). This is something of a pseudo-IR photo as I used only the red channel data during conversion to b/w. I think it gives the photo a certain soft mood.

From the rich, saturated colors of the previous photo let us move on to the simplicity of monochrome with today’s photo! This is from a while back. As the title suggests, I like the fluid like quality of the tree’s bark.

This is one of my favorite photos among all that I’ve shot in recent times. I like the way everything came together in this, me waiting, shivering in bone freezing wind for the light to be right and hoping a bird would fly into the frame, the way PP went etc, etc. But I don’t think of all those incoveniences now. All I see is a photo my eyes love to stare at! I hope you will agree with me.

From the intense golden of yesterday to the quiet monochrome of today. But I still have some photos in my archives that I want to finish posting. So here is one.

Even though this started off as a pretty ordinary photo I like the way it has ended up. I think the tone really suits the tree. The original shot was with two trees but I cropped out the other one as I feel it works better with this one tree. If you find the photo to be too big for your screen just press F11 in any browser to to full screen (and press F11 again to exit it).

As I had mentioned the day before I had to attend a small party yesterday. It was very enjoyable with delicious food and a hilarious film afterwards. Of course, my camera went with me! This is one of the hosts for the party whom I caught with an interesting look.

This is a very simple shot but I like it for that very minimalistic nature. The water in the background is the river Rhine. As I’ve been invited for a party tomorrow evening I don’t think you will see a photo from me tomorrow, so see you again on Sunday. Have a great weekend folks!

Although I did end up completely blowing the sky on either side and could not avoid the intense glare towards the left, PP did help in reducing both to a certain extent, I do like the perspective in this shot. This is from under one of the main (and perhaps oldest?) bridges across the Rhine.

A couple of days back I went for another walk along the Rhine and got back with some stuff I’m happy with. Here is the first one of those.

I’m not sure if any of you will like a burnt out source of harsh light smack in the center, taking away attention from the rest of the photo. But I personally like this shot. The sun was anything but harsh. It was bright but not harsh, a warm winter sun bringing winter hardened skin to life. What those three guys were doing perfectly captured the spirit of the day, a day to bask in the gentle warmth of the sun and watch the day unwind in the company of friends.

I like the various lines coming together in this and set off against the solitary figure.
