The Shrunken Voyager

   Ever felt like giving up the chaotic life that you are presently leading, to go away somewhere far away? Ever felt like taking a journey of a lifetime? I did. At some point in time in everybody's life, i assume, everyone will feel so. Well, to all those who are in need of a break from the daily life, i give them this:

   PS- Download this picture, set it as your wallpaper and then see! 

Cheers! 

All's Right With the World...

   This picture was taken on a bright sunny summer noon. The weather was really hot, the sun was screaming at us and it looked like the roads would be the last place anybody would have wanted to be on at that point of time. Tempers were running low on the roads and everybody was in a hurry to get somewhere. (home?)  Even i was desperate to get home and switch on the fan and sit down and cool myself down.

    But then i saw this woman sitting by the side of the road with all her Laughing Buddhas beckoning the passers by to buy them. It was then that it hit me- not everybody was in a position to go home that day and rest under the cool shade of the roof. Heck, some people did not even have a roof. It was not like i had never been exposed to poverty ever before. But, that day, it just made me realise that for some people The Sun, The Rain or The Wind cannot stop them from carrying on with their life. It will be hard for them, yes. 

   But then... God is in his Heaven, all's right with the World. 

Testing,Testing 123...

   Another close up shot. Was taken during my class fest. The clarity of the mike (Clarity as in the clarity of the picture and not the sound clarity. I am not endorsing the mike here!) is pretty clean and the grooves and the ridges on the mike is distinctive. The background, too, is just enough out of focused. I had no idea of the ISO settings or the aperture settings or whatever. Yet, the Snap has come clean.

   The image is a bit dark though. anyhow, nice overall. 

Camera credit, again, Savvy Dalmia. 

Time to Set The Ball Rolling! (Reel rolling would suit better, right?)

   So, this is where it all starts huh? This picture is definitely not my first. But, i thought it would suit the theme of my blog. (music and photography... you see the Connection?  :-) )
     So, what does this picture mean to me? well, first of all ever since i learnt the function of the 'Macro' mode, i have been using it for almost every picture i click. So, here i was sitting in my room doing nothing when all of a sudden i notice that the music player looked cool the way it was placed on the table. I take my camera (Canon Powershot A540. Yeah. A540) and begin experimenting. And, before long i turn the Macro Mode ON!!! The result? This Picture! (After a couple of tries, of course.)
   The wires in the background sort of distract the actual focus of the image. But, for an amateur, this is worth it! (I think!) Well... what else do i write about? i cant brag about my own photo, can i? 
   Oh, yeah! i was pretty naive when i thought that i'll put up the photos. A very close friend of mine (and of a lot others too!),Avrina Jos asked me not to put up the better pictures as they could be "stolen". So, i thought i'd rather use a logo on the photos. Of course, you can crop it. But, its alright. I won't mind.


Err... that's it. I suppose. Until next time, keep looking for The picture.
