Finally! After couple of months experimenting and playing around with my digital SLR, I am finally ready to present my work of the last few months. Its nothing special, but these are few of the photographs that I have taken in the past few weeks, and the ones that have made me really happy. Click on them to see a larger version. Go on, see them, and let me know how you like them in comments 🙂
First up: My walking shoes. There you have it. This is me, with my dirty jeans. I love this pic. Don’t ask me why I love this pic, but I do.
A bird on a tree looking elsewhere. Now, when I took this photo it was not exactly bright light and the bird came out umm… dark. I had to adjust exposure quite a bit to get to where I wanted it to be, and then of course I had to crop it a lot so that the bird looks closer than it was. The end result, I am quite pleased. Dunno if this bird has any copyright problems though!
I was intrigued about shooting the lone flower in the grass – when I positioned myself to take the pic, I noticed that my own shadow was blocking a lot of sun on the flower; however this in itself made it look better. After adjusting the vibrance levels I was able to create a fake filter – it amost looks as if the only thing in color is the flower, but there is green grass all around. Its all in the adjustment 🙂
And the cropped the above photo eliminating the shadow. It still retained its resolution.
And I just had to take a closeup of this flower. Now this flower is not as big as this picture depicts. I love the clarity the camera was able to bring out.
A chair in a park. What else? However I had to crop it to remove the obnoxious building behind. Once I removed the building, the picture attained a personality of its own. Nothing special about this pic, I just like it.
This was taken at a recent trip that we made to a chalet. I love the way the colors came out in this pic – especially the two overhead hanging lamps. Of course I took this photo without anybody posing for it, so I guess it was all the more natural.
My brother got new Oakleys. we decided to shoot some pics with him posing. The pic was taken as a reflection against the bathroom mirror. Of course I positioned myself in a way that I wouldnt be in the picture. There is lots of over-exposure, lots of brightness, and a whole lot of nonsense done through software – but the end result was simply stunning! The reflection of his goggles reveals the sink if you notice carefully.
And if you notice carefully here, you will actually see me holding the camera in the reflection on his sunglass lens 🙂
One of my absolute favorites. My friend got a bimmer a couple of months back and I wanted to click this photo without his knowledge. However he got it and almost instantly tried to make up a shot for this pic. I did not really expect this pic to come out this good – surprisingly the color version of this photo is nowhere near the expressive quality of the black and white.
We were playing tennis in winter here. It was quite warm that day. I was experimenting with speed function of the camera when I took his photo. I was clicking in quick successions – and out of 15 photos clicked between 5 seconds, this one came out best.
My brother looking through his rug. I like the expression in his eyes. Its almost mischievous – as if he is up to something naughty. All he was trying to do he was trying to sleep, and I was probably pulling his leg.
This was taken a full frame photograph of a stream passing through the park behind my apartment. Later I cropped the pic to make it look a little widescreen. Then I adjusted vibrance level to make the water look bluer than it normally is – this had a great effect on the photo. The water is not blue at all in fact, but the software was able to help me here.
Allright thats it – the first batch of the photographs. I will keep uploading good photos every now and then – hopefully I should get better with time.
