Some more of my favorite shots..

I took this one in Udaipur, Rajasthan during my trip to India in 2006.

This was a stone carving on one of the Jain temples in Udaipur. If you look really closely, the texture is just dried moss growing over the face. Incidentally, this was the only face that I could find carved on the temple walls. My "Indiana Jones" spirit immediately kicked in ! :)

This one is from the terrace of my apartment building in Bombay. The most gorgeous view ! That's Worli Fort (Worli village) on the left with the boats. Through the center and right is the upcoming Worli-Bandra Sea-link project..

There are many more..they are taking time to work on. Keep looking at this page ! :)

My hand at HDR!

So HDR is this new technique called High Dynamic Range.

Sometimes while taking a picture, depending on conditions, it may be too bright or too dark in parts of the photograph. In order to get the whole range of colors, HDR can take pictures of different exposures and compile them together. Then the user can manipulate certain aspects of the picture to get it the way he/she wants.

The pictures can look VERY stunning...albeit sometimes a bit surreal. I like the effect. It varies from person to person..

Here is the FLICKR link for HDR. Obviously as you can see from my pictures, I'm nowhere close to this...but I plan to learn !

Ridiculous

Wonder how many graduate students were at this. There would've been two that I know off...but I wasn't up for waiting in a line 700 strong !
