My life thru a lens

Words could never do justice to this pic

The ruins of Mandu

2005-10-16T09:25:00.000-07:00

Notice the pillar-like structure that Senthil is trying to climb up in the background. That actually is what remains of an entire tower which was destroyed due to an earthquake a good number of years ago.

Location : Mandu, Timeline : Sometime December 2004

Campus - at night

2005-10-12T11:35:00.000-07:00

Man, I just can't get enough of this campus, especially the sights it offers at night-time. Here goes another night shot of the campus, as viewed from the front gate.

Squirrels

2005-10-10T10:25:00.000-07:00

I have always loved squirrels ever since I can remember. I ve been absolutely fascinated by how these cute little creatures leap and bound all over trees, and seemingly impossible walls, and crevices. Here goes a cute pic of a squirrel on a desk calendar.

Images - Manali

2005-10-08T10:30:00.000-07:00

Now this probably has to be the cutest kid that I've laid eyes upon for quite a while. Settings: Manali, mid August 2005.

Beauty

2005-09-28T09:50:00.000-07:00

Dunno why but I fell in love with this particular SUV the moment I laid my eyes on it. Here's a pic of the FORD ENDEAVOUR, a stunner from every angle that you can see it. This pic was taken at Indore, during my last SBM visit. The way in which the light and the shadows play hide and seek over the beautiful contours of this vehicle is simply awesome.

Age old rocks

2005-09-24T09:00:00.000-07:00

I've always held rocks and mountains in complete awe. They seem so serene and peaceful, undaunted by anything that man and nature have to throw at them. This pic is one from the amazing Leh trip which I took close to a month ago. Just notice how the blue of the sky plays upon the amazing rock formation.

Wierd are the ways of the lens

2005-09-07T22:30:00.000-07:00

The above is a piece of ice stuck inside a plastic bottle. Just notice the way the light plays on the ridges in the cube as well as on the grooves of the bottle.

Road to .....

2005-09-06T18:30:00.000-07:00

I've always had a fascination with roads and rail tracks. The way they disappear into the horizon into the 'unknown' has never failed to make me think about where I am going with my life. Hmm...some food for thought!!! What say folks?

A small glimpse of the real India

2005-09-05T07:20:00.000-07:00

One small glimpse of the real India which is made by such hard-working rural farmers. This is one of the pix that I had the opportunity to take on my trip to Omkareshwar yesterday. The rest of the pix are uploaded on http://photos.yahoo.com/jairammohan and a brief account of the trip is posted on Jamster's Jams.

Campus - at night

2005-09-03T07:27:00.000-07:00

This has to be the single most amazing night shot of the road leading up from the gates to the hostels. Considering that it has been taken without any artificial lighting or with a jazzy camera, operated by an amateur like me, I really love this pic.

Cheers...........Jam

Yay, my first 'stitched' photo

2005-09-02T00:43:00.000-07:00

At first glance, there might seem to be nothing special about this photograph, but then, notice the dimensions of the pic and you'll notice that this is in fact 3 pix stitched into 1. Now, I guess you guys have already seen lots of such pix, but considering the fact that I am still in the amateur stages of photography, this is quite an achievement for me.

Wilbur Smith - African all the way

2005-08-31T13:07:00.000-07:00

I've been spending most of my 'awake' time today reading this wonderful book by Wilbur Smith. An amazing account of what the real untouched Africa looks like. Around 45% of the way into the book, and am already quite impressed. Can't wait for the ending.

My first photo

2005-08-30T04:37:00.000-07:00

Well folks, after quite a few trials and tribulations and a helluva lot of experimentation with various angles, lighting, etc (with others' cameras), I've finally purchased a CANON POWERSHOT A-510. Now this blog is dedicated to this beautiful gadget and the various experiments that I am gonna conduct with it.

For starters, here is one of the first photos that I tried out with it. Lord Ganesha in Macro mode.
