Dreamland!!

I was worried during our trip to lonavala that rain that's falling continuously might spoil my camera at any time. But i didn't expect it would make capturing this beautiful art like image possible. I couldn't believe even after seeing this picture many times that this came from a camera but not from the drawing board.

Metallic beauty..!

Metals attracted all kinds of living things using their shiny nature and are continuing to do so. Well, humans are a step ahead of other beings and fought wars for having ownership of these shiny things. I don't want to take any thing away from these things. Metals are truly beautiful when they are carved into artistic forms and simply pleases your eyes with their aesthetic beauty..

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to take a picture of one of those beautiful things, which belongs to a friend of mine..Girls love them, don't they? And why not?.. Hats off to the maker..!

City at night.!

Since it has been a boring day, i wanted to try something different. So i went to our terrace after dinner for the first time to try few night shots to see how the snaps will be. Result is wonderful and is here to see. I tried using the tripod but since it is a windy night, most of the snaps came out blurred. Nevertheless i had been welcomed into the wonderful world of night photography. I'm lovin it...
