I managed to copy some of my backed up photos to the Mac at work and I’m posting today’s photo from there. He is the same person as in the previous photo but I thought this photo would present a completely different mood compared to the previous one.

(Note-22.05.06: Unfortunately, my laptop crashed yesterday and looks like I’ve to give it in for repair. It might be gone for a few weeks. So I don’t think I’ll able to post quite as regularly as before. I’ll try to post, if possible, from this Mac in my lab. Fortunately, I made a backup of my photos, lab data etc., a few days back so hopefully I haven’t lost anything. Keep your fingers crossed and do keep visiting!)

Another macro of the flower. Somehow I’m not very satisfied with this photo but I decided to post it anyway as I like the way the light is reflected in the droplet.

Another shot of the hibiscus-like flower from yesterday. For the first time after buying it, the versatile nature of my tripod came in handy while taking this (and subsequent) shot(s). Actually, this was shot hand-held and not using a tripod!

Let us leave the world of monochrome for a moment and enjoy the world of color once more! Here is a macro of a flower from my garden, which actually is beginning to resemble a tropical jungle these days! I managed to a get quite a few shots I liked from these flowers so you can expect to see more of these over the next few days. I’m not very good with flower names but this seems to be a variant of the hibiscus.

Here is something from my garden. It comes from a weed which grows everywhere here and has these puffy, very delicate feather-like balls at the tip of their stems. No idea what they are called though. Does anyone know?

I didn’t realize that I had passed the 200 photo mark a few days back. So this is to mark that although it technically isn’t the 200th photo.

This is one of the circus performers from yesterday’s photo in the final stage of a sommersault.

I don’t know how clear it is from the photo but this is not a mirror image. It is actually two different circus performers held up by two different hands! The photo is cropped and flipped horizontally from the original.

Another one from the circus. This guy did some amazing stuff along with a fellow gymnast.
