A snow storm on its way

This photo was taken on the 10th of Feb 2008, Sunday using my Nikon D50 at 5:30 PM. A snow storm was predicted and the skies started darkening out - And I did not miss the opportunity to click a few and this came out as a good shot.

Aperture: f/5.6

Knowledge, Love & the Eternal Bonding

This is not my original idea of a still life; but a very powerful representation of the fraternity of knowledge, love and eternal bonding. I happened to see a very similar photo somewhere else, and more than the perfection of the photograph, what caught my attention was the powerful message that this depiction sends out.

I recreated the still-life at home on the thurday evening (31st January 2008), shot it with my Nikon D50; The tablelamp provided the lighting.

Exposure: 1/100th of a second

Down behind the trees...

A post that I missed! - Fall/Autumn

Fall/Autumn is one of the most colorful seasons. The whole trees and plants around would change to a beautiful palette of colors in a variety of shades of red, yellow & green. The leaves would start shedding after a few weeks to prepare for the harsh winter days to come.

The photo above was taken from the Washington memorial park in Morristown, NJ during the fall of 2007. Taken during an early November evening using my Nikon D50

Exposure: 1/8th of a Second

Aperture: f/5.6

First snow in the year(2007) at Morristown

We woke up today morning to see the whole area covered with 2-3 inches of snow! This is the first snow in Morristown this year. Time to take out the shovels to clean the car everyday - and also to get some warm-up exercise. Though not intentional, I had taken the window view from our apartment a few days before it snowed & after it snowed (I noticed this when Vishal pointed out this last day). I tried to create a collage & failed - so posting them as separate ones.

The view at the final days of Fall/Autumn

And after it snowed!

Note: All photos taken using a Nikon D50 during the mid 2 weeks of November

I inspired a blogger!
