This will be the memorable picture I have ever taken. I nearly took 7 minutes to take photo alone. I had to do little bit of study of surroundings for the view I wanted. Weather there was too cold and I wasnt able to hold my camera. Other snaps taken during this time were blurred because of non-stability of camera.



This looks like a great hole in the center of the Earth. I am wondering how did I manage to get straight view into curved one. Believe me, none of the photos posted in this blog are digitally remastered, only few have been croped for sizes thats it.

This photo is croped to 70% as the rightmost side of the picture covered the telescope and the background was not clear.



This one my favorite. This is the awesome view of Grand Canyon. we spend like 6 hours in GC and I had some amazing and memorable pictures.

Strip view, Stratosphere tower

Place: Las Vegas. The Strip of Las Vegas starts at Stardust and stretch to 3 miles down till Mandalay bay. This picture has story behind it. When I first visited Stratosphere tower and saw this view, I felt the need to capture this and tried for 4 hours, but of no use. I Couldnt get a clear shot with night vision and 8X optical Zoom. The floor is lot noisy as it has 3 extreme games. I gave up and came back to Austin. To my luck, my friends forced to plan my next trip to LV again in November and this time I took tripod wasting 50 USD. When we reached Stratosphere tower, security authorities of tower didnt allow me to carry tripod to the top of the tower because of security issues. When we reached top of the tower, I had to concentrate real hard not to shake the camera. Lately after 70 tries I got 3 clear shots and this one is the best of those. Worth the time, money and effort spent on these 3 pictures. Don't you think so?

Downtown Austin

Place: Congress Ave, Austin, TX.The Road ends in front of Texas State Capital Building.Worth risking life.

My Amateur Photography

During my college days I developed interest in photography, specially after fashion show, dance performances during college day function in final year. I was more interested in knowing about photography than anything else.

From that day till now I have shot thousands of pictures, I remember each picture and they have something to tell... I never missed an opportunity to utilize my camera...

For few photos I have wasted hours waiting for that perfect shot, revisited the place spending hundred of dollars and for few I risked my life standing in the middle of busy road, edge of canyon, in the waves far from shore...

But all of these act were worth doing...

I am updating few of those...

I also hold an kind of record in our project team, shooting more than 300 pictures in less than 3 hours. After this madness, I rarely touch camera. When I do, I have something nice going in my album.

Please enjoy my Amateur photography, write comments if you have anything to convey me.
