don't get surprised by the signature.. this photo was taken and edited (cannot call processed.. so guess edited is ok!) 6 years back in hyderabad botanical garden with Sony point & shoot camera.
your comments welcome!
The p&s camera is DEAD now... but the memories will remain!

Floating Mid Air
I had posted another mid-air shot earlier.. this is in the same series but different position. Guess this is a slightly different butterfly photo than normally seen.
Manual Focus @ 190mm on my Sigma!
(those who saw the earlier one would remember that it was a challenged posed to me whether we can capture the butterfly in flight with my "SLOW" sigma lens :D)
Comments / Suggestions please!

Navigating into the sunset
I get fascinated with beach sunset and when you have a boat during that time on the horizon.. can't ask for more... (actually the boat could have been a bigger to balance the sun :D).
I can't stop clicking sunset @ 300 mm.. here is a reason why!
For the composition.. tried to get both the sun and the boat on the 3rd points and the horizon on the lower third line.. hope its visible without this explanation as well :D (if not the shot is a failure for me :( )
This was in Ratnagiri (Are-Ware beach) 3 weeks back!

Nighoj: When water cuts stone
One of the best natural wonders i have been.. that too just 80 km away from Pune.
What a morning it was.. we (myself, Anshul Saxena, Anoop Negi & Pranav Peshwe) started at 4:30 AM from pune.. reached at Nighoj at 6:30.. exactly at sunrise.. though there was less water, we found enough small water streams to keep ourselves engaged.
By 8:30-9 we were back in our car, had home-made paratha-rolls thanks to Mr. Negi and the famous Saradwadi Misal-Pao & Bhajji on the way back :)
By Noon, we were back in Pune and back to our normal lives!
Thanks for joining guys!

Life
Life is a fresh leaf of hope on a dark background of sorrow.. Quote from "Yours Truly" :)
Taken purely in natural light (7 AM in the morning) against background of a dark shadow, and the right exposure made it completely black :)
