235/365. Happiness, Home Delivered. on Flickr.
This is from last week when we went to Dominos.
I took this picture of a delivery boy trying to (maybe) fix his bike from inside. Hence, you can see the texture of the glass.
I think I did a decent job for manual. :-)

234/365. Hot & Fiery on Flickr.
This one is again from Linger On. We ordered some Italian pasta thingy whose name I can neither pronounce nor spell out. :P
But it was goooooddd… And super expensive.
And the cheese garlic bread was nice too. Although, we went to Domino’s right after this.
That explains the extra fat!!
P.S.: I love chilli flakes & oregano and the sauce.. Hot & Fiery indeed. :-)

233/365. Building Something New 2 on Flickr.
Some very good news. I got an invite from Getty Images and its a big deal for me. Super excited about it. Made up the contract and everything. :-)
Happy!!!
We went to this place in Baner called Linger On. Nice place with lots of games. I got kicked at Jenga and Uno.
Nevermind!

That’s the Jenga tower we made last weekend. More about it in the next picture. Uploading 2 today. Can’t decide!

232/365. Ready To Ride Away. on Flickr.
Just some bikes I found around somewhere. I would have loved to shoot them in the open sun but now its done. :)
New week. Hopefully, a good week.
Take care good people.

231/365. Should I Stay Or Should I Go. on Flickr.
I took this picture last evening while strolling in Aundh by myself. This peaceful looking man was just sitting on the boundary wall of a building.
I didn’t want to disturb his solitude by trying to take a picture head on, so I casually walked past him and snapped him from behind. It was then that he turned around and while was (probably) contemplating leaving or staying that I took this pretty candid picture.
I think I sort of missed the focus by a bit, but it works for me. I like this one. Monochrome always works for me.

230/365. And I Ride And I Ride. on Flickr.
I am the passenger and I ride and I ride
I ride through the city’s backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
— Iggy Pop
I think I’m finally getting the hang of shooting with a prime lens on manual focus. What I learnt late (and the hard way) is not to go as wide as it allows me to. :-)
Have a nice day.

229/365. Woman In The Clouds. on Flickr.
Maybe something is wrong with me but I really see a woman in the clouds. Seriously.
This isn’t my best work and I’m really slacking on the 365. :(
From tomorrow its one good picture a day.

228/365. I Heart Coffee. on Flickr.
Aromas Café at F.C. Road, Pune, serves one of the best looking coffee I’ve ever set my eyes upon. Since, this wasn’t my cup of coffee, I can’t really comment on the taste but it did look inviting.
That little biscuit there - I did eat that a bit and it was tasty.
All in all a nice place to spend an evening at, looking at the busy F.C. Road and the people passing by.
Next time, I’ll take my camera along for some long exposures of the street below.

227/365. Beast Of The Night. on Flickr.
I took this last night. A 4 second exposure for the light trails. I’m glad I could get the bike in the foreground.
I admit I over-processed it. Lots of stuff done to this and in the end I just was lazy to stop editing and re-edit this.

225/365. Buffaloes. on Flickr.
Found this group of buffaloes in my happy place. Tried to take some pictures on the 50mm. One of them actually charged towards me. That’s when I decided to take a hike and photograph something else. :-)

225/365. Looking At The World, A Little Clearer. on Flickr.
I got my John Lennon/Harry Potter glasses last week and I can’t get enough of them. I love how comfortable and light they are.
I love all my glasses. These are the 4th I own. Love all of them.

224/365. Stranger. on Flickr.
Took this last weekend. This was the coconut vendor I met on the street and while he sheared the coconut for me, I went crazy with the shutter.
Post processing includes an HDRish effect. My first one at that. Never done that before. Not a true HDR anyway. Done from one RAW file. I have to get better at this. A lot to learn.
The stupid internet connection is acting up. Hence, no pictures in so many days. Would try to make up for it.

223/365. Spread. on Flickr.
This is from the same day as the last picture. I think it was stupid of me to try capturing a pigeon in flight with a 50mm prime that too wide open. I think I shot this at f/2.5 but I was mindful enough to fire the flash.
Hence, the crispness (if any) explained. I’ve never really used a Canon but I like this one. Not too happy with the colours though, but maybe I don’t know how to adjust them.
This one is a little over-sharpened. I have the default in Lightroom set as “Sharpen for screen” while exporting.
Note to self: Change that!!!

222/365. Fly Away. on Flickr.
didn’t upload earlier on account of my internet connection being down.
I took this at a friend’s place with her camera. I don’t know why but I’m mighty proud of this picture. I like the pigeon that’s leftmost in the picture. I think the sense of motion is very pretty.
One more coming up.
