Into the wild! The safari - Banerghatta

Its been a long time!! Out of the slumber! Visited the Banerghatta National Park in Bangalore and went in the safari. It was an awesome experience. Saw a tiger so close. It was literally the tiger's face on the outside, the car's window, and me on the inside!! And the elephants were so cute, especially the baby elephants. They were playing, talking with each other. I would love to visit the place again and take the open jeep safari. Here are some of the photos from the National park.

YN 560 Flash - My brand new camera gear!

For a photographer, gears are everything. And we browse more about the camera and camera accessories than anything else. Being an amateur photographer, i dont really have a lot of gears. I have two lenses, a tripod with a camera. That's it!

I have been wanting to buy a new flash and increase my camera gear collection! And after a few searches and convincing myself that i will use it frequently, i bought a new flash recently. 

The Yongnuo flash is less expensive compared to the Nikon or Canon versions and is pretty good. Especially for an amateur photographer, spending thousands of rupees on a flash isn't a great idea! This YN 560 III is perfect for me. I tried my hand at the flash, and i am quite happy with the result! 

Here are some shots with my first ever try with flash. 

There is a lot to flashes and i cant wait to experiment more!! 

Holiday at Goa

After a lot of planning, recently I visited Goa with friends. It is an amazing place with lot of architecture, beach and scenery. Goa has places for all photographers. I visited the beaches, water sports, some churches, and the cute little dolphins. Here are some of my favorite shot from Goa.

Malsej Ghat

Malsej Ghat is a scenic mountain pass in western ghats, 150 km from Mumbai. It is wonderful for a weekend getaway from Mumbai and Pune. The lush green scenery is especially attractive during the monsoon season.

The cloud-laden mountains and waterfalls provides a sort of calm and peace to the minds. It gives a sense of belongingness with the nature, away from the busy life of Mumbai. Malsej Ghat is a haven for every photographer, with multitude of birds and animals. 

Here are some scenic photos of malsej ghat that I tried to capture. 

South Bombay's Architecture

South Bombay houses the city's main businesses as well as heritage buildings. Here, I have tried to capture the some of the relics of British Bombay.

First attempt at Sports photography!!

We all love watching cricket, football in TV. I had an opportunity to shoot sports at my college. Though it was my first attempt, I did get some good shots. 

Here are some of the photos from that intra-college cricket tournament. 

Kala Ghoda Art Festival - Feb 7-15, 2015

Kala Ghoda Art Festival is one of the city's main attractions in the month of February every year. People not only from Mumbai, but from all over the world come to feast their eyes and intellect with the contemporary art forms in Kala Ghoda Art Festival. 

For those who are curious about the name ‘Kala Ghoda’. It is traced to the old equestrian statue of King Edward VII, placed at the center of the large node on the old Esplanade Road. Though the statue has been removed from the site, the name of this Colonial era remnant remains, as a compelling memory of the history and heritage of South Bombay. 

Here are some of the art forms in this year's Kala Ghoda Art Festival.

The Contrapuntal - Be in touch with nature

The Crow - Mukti

Dustbin Pole (towards Swachh Bharat initiative)

The last drop - Save Water

The Spirit of India - Textile Industry
