This is the third and final photo in the contrail series. It is also my favorite among the three.

The is the second photo in the contrail series. Btw I forgot to mention that all three photos are from the same place, Konigswinter.

In other news, I finally put together a rough portfolio of my favorite photos. It is just a stop gap thing until I develop something more to my liking so it is a little rough around the edges! You can find the link at the top of the main page of the photoblog.

Starting with today I’ll be posting three photos over the next three days centered around the broad theme of contrails. As you can probably tell, if you are a regular visitor here, I love these trails made by planes in the sky. In all three I’ve played around with the white balance so what you see is not exactly what I got. Having said that I still like how they have turned out although today’s photo is probably the one I least prefer among the three!

At last, one actor from the Indian mainstream film industry who has the guts and the brains to speak out against the current state of the Indian media. Read the interview where he rips Indian media to shreds here.

Reading it felt like as if he was speaking some of the words in my head. I wonder why more people do not talk about this or is that a stupid question in itself as which mainstream media will permit such a frank criticism of itself?

This was shot a few minutes after yesterday’s shot. I thought this would look good as a toned b/w although still not sure if the tone works or not.

Since I’m happy with one of my photos after quite a while I’m putting this up earlier than usual!

This has been sitting idle for a long time in my photos to be posted here. But finally here it is! I have no idea what the graffiti writer meant by this cryptic message and that is why it caught my eye. Perhaps you have better ideas as to what it means?

I had gone for a short walk the other day across a bridge over the Rhine to capture some very interesting cloud forms. Here is one of them.

I shot this through a train window yesterday.

Even though I’ve quite a few recent photos sitting on my hard drive I’ve been unable to choose one from them to post today. Instead, here is something from my archives. I almost trashed this but after some cropping and PP it seems worth posting.
