Connecting the Elements 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I find 'bridges' to be the most interesting, photogenic and romantic engineering structures - they bring all the elements together - land, water and air! This bridge commissioned in 2004 and constructed downstream of the Nagarjunasagar Dam across the Krishna river, replaces an older bridge built in 1960 that had collapsed - from where this photograph has been shot.Nagajunasagar-Macharla bridge, Jan2007, F/5.6, 1/400s, ISO-100. Blog Update: I have completed tagging all my earlier photos with category labels. So, go ahead and explore the 'goodness' of categories. To begin with, try selecting 'Nature - Flora' from the drop-down list of categories at the top and regale in the multi-hued floral beauty. Read more:Connecting

Dream come true 2007-03-14 14:58:00 “Make the tools of information and communication available to people at an affordable cost. They will overcome the handicaps of illiteracy and lack of mobility.” - Late Dhirubhai AmbaniNowadays you rarely come across anyone without a mobile phone (atleast in the metros), a revolution that has transformed India in the past few years. With the lowest mobile tariffs in the world and with the fastest growing subscriber base, Dhirubhai's dream has come true for sure. Oct2006, F/2.8, 1/8sec, ISO-320, handheld.

Aflutter 2007-03-18 12:12:00 A child runs amok... and thousands of pigeons rise and swarm overhead with a delightful chorus of flapping wings... a collective 'wow' escapes as all eyes turn skywards... while the photographer desperately clicks the lens shutter in an attempt to capture the moment... I don't know what went aflutter at that moment - the pigeons' wings or my heart?!!!Well, with the Indian summer hotting up, I found my existing stock of photographs all dring up. When digging deep into my archives also did not yield much... I decided it was time for replenishment. Somitra and myself went around the old Hyderabad city in the early morning hours and were amply rewarded with these pigeons at Mecca Masjid - a photographer's delight.Expect many more pigeons and beautiful monuments captured in the golden rays of the morning sun in the days to come on our blogs!Mecca Masjid, Hyderabad, Mar2007, F/3.2, 1/250s, ISO-100. Must see this - one of the best pigeon pictures.
Pigeon Feed 2007-03-20 15:42:00 This brave pigeon came up to the kids and ate right out of their hand... And boy, these kids were thrilled... several others weren't so lucky. Guess, their cute harmless faces did the trick!Mecca Masjid, Hyderabad, Mar2007, F/5, 1/80sec, ISO-100
Princess on Water 2007-03-23 17:03:00 Funny how just a name or a word, sometimes hides so much meaning behind it... This lovely pleasure cruise on the Hussain Sagar lake in Hyderabad is called the 'Khairunnissa'. A little research revealed that this beauty is named after Princess
Khairunnissa who secretly married James Achilles Kirkpatrick, a Scottish bureaucrat when she was just 14 back in 1799... a romance that shook all of British India. Alas, love was shortlived as James died unexpectedly just six years later in 1805 and she died soon after... Read on here.. and here..P.s. Notice the heavy foot thumping happenning on the Khairunnissa?HussainSagar Lake, Hyderabad, Mar2007, F/2.8, 2s, ISO-100.
No Takers 2007-03-25 14:36:00 The little guy had been waiting for the pigeons, but as soon as I clicked the shutter, he decided he had had enough and turned around. Poor little girl!Mecca Masjid, Hyderabad, Mar2007, F/5.2, 1/80sec, ISO-100. Contrast this with Pigeon Feed.
Call for Prayer 2007-03-27 16:18:00 A few years back, a muezzin must have loudly called the faithful to prayer five times every day from atop this beautiful minaret at the Mecca Masjid... now replaced by an almost inconspicuous loudspeaker ;-)Mecca Masjid, Hyderabad, Mar2007, F/7.1, 1/125sec, ISO-100 Read more:Prayer
An Orange Moment 2007-04-06 13:38:00 It was when we were about to leave the Mecca Masjid, that I noticed the imposing Charminar in the distance... and a li'l girl in bright orange wandering around with a flock of pigeons behind her.. caught an 'orange' moment!Hyderabad, Mar2007, F/5.6, 1/60sec, ISO-100 Read more:Orange

7am on a Sunday 2007-04-14 12:48:00 The usually crowded intersection of the Charminar looks serene, calm and beautiful early Sunday

Alien Attack 2007-04-25 17:48:00 No, it's not going to release a finger and suck you up... it's just an exquisite chandelier shot from beneath in the Durbar Hall of the Chowmahalla Palace... a painting in the gallery of the palace inspired this particular shot...Chowmahalla Palace, Hyderabad, April2007, F/2.8, 1/40sec, ISO100 Read more:Alien
Reflecting Pool 2007-05-01 06:09:00 A perfect example of European architecture in the heart of the Old City in Hyderabad, the Aftab Mahal - one of the four palaces in the Chowmahalla complex. The Nizams were great fans of Parisian, Venetian architecture and they made sure their dwelling reflected their liking.Chowmahalla Palace, Hyderabad, Apr2007, F/5.6, 1/500sec, ISO-100.

The First Sunrise 2007-05-03 05:34:00 This blog has a couple of sunsets, here's the first sunrise shot! Proof that we got up early morning and went on a photography expedition.

A Postcard from Darjeeling 2007-08-07 12:51:00 The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway chugging along the 'Ghoom' - a graceful loop where the train takes a complete circle going under/over it's own tracks.

Evening Flare 2007-12-02 09:24:00 A short break in my hectic schedule led me to the visit the Grand Old Lady, the first oil well in Miri dug in 1909 atop a hillock.
