This is a sequel of the previous post... "  Through my camera's eyes". I am just working on each kind of altered natural effects, i meant no photoshopping.. :)

I tried on shutter speed control for capturing something during night... 

Spiraling light strand

I was hunting with my N70 for almost 2 hours to capture this...I used Night mode (low shutter speed) without flash. 

I have tried to control the focal point of image, but no big success.

After a rainy night

This is our university's research building, i was trying to focus on the droplets and later i came to know that N70 do-sent have the focus adjustment. It has a built in focus for each of the settings. But i liked the pic it took.

One more failure attempt to alter focus using iPhone 4.

Through my Camera's Eyes ...

I am a photographer... :P .... 

Some times i feel like being an awesome photographer and feel proud of seeing my mokkai photos. I thought of sharing how i felt about them. I didnt feel like putting these on FB / Orkut and these dont qualify for Flickr so i am blogging....

"Any camera can take an award winning picture, its not in the camera its in the eye of the photographer" said an NGC (National Geographic Channel) recognized photographer and scientist. So, I have tried not to use a professional camera, because i dont have an intention to buy one..  I have a N70 and an iPhone which i am planning for all my photographic ventures. 

In this posting u are about to see a few of my shots using various cameras. 

Nayagara Falls - View from Canada side

This was a shot of Nayagara Falls, from Canada side, I used a Sony Cybershot DCS T2.

left a long way behind

Cannon PowerShot was used here, i tried to see through the side mirror of the car we were traveling. 

Here comes a pic, i loved the view, it was sun light through a gap of dark clouds.

Sun light - Through the Gap

Camera: N70; Place: Auburn

Camera: N70, Texas Capitol Building, Austin

Friend... longing for one

"You Have Friends Everywhere" a good friend of me told about me.... this is a strong statement... am i really having friends... or just an illusion ... i wish its true... 

Everyone in this materialistic world think that a friend is the one who gives his helping hand in times of need, i dont actually accept it. I feel that a friend is a liability in terms of business... for having friends u have to spend care, affection and love...  i am not so good to not expect anything from my friends... i started the same way making friends just for benefits... I was banged agaist a big stone wall and i came to know that no one will come fwd to help ... we have to help ourselves... ( its bitter .... but true) ... friends are there to encourage u , cheer u.. not help u...

A friend never helps you ... by working for you ... he helps you by cheering you and guiding you through your hardships... i whish i have a real friend who cheers me up..... 

these days I am missing motivation and cheers... is there any one ... to cheer me up...

Go Green & Save Money

Every $ Counts so we put our $ to good use how about you?.. not only to use make it sustainable so that it supports itself...

If you read through till here.. i can take it for granted that you are interested :)

Before everything i ll clear one thing ... Going green is not painting things in Green.. it is 'Adapting our lifestyle so as to do no / less damage to the environment'

There are many ways to make this happen; Presenting a few of them

• Carbon Footprint
• Eco-Business
• Eco-Friendly material
• Renewable Energy
• Green Building
• Green Transportation / Fuels
• Recycling

MMM... we shall talk abt the 1st one in the list... CARBON FOOTPRINT... ' this is a measure of the impact on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon ...' A simple idea to reduce the impact created by you... USE CYCLE, of-course for short distance commuting... this keeps our self and earth fit... Use natural lighting when ever possible...

And one more thing...we cant see instant results.. Wait for some time to reap the harvest...

Resolutions... 2010 !

What 2010 says...

Makkals are discussing something regarding this turn of clock to 2010 from 2009... 1st decade of 2000s is done...

i was a part of one of such conversations .. we were discussing abt resolutions... one of them said he would become an icon of his organization in 2 yrs but dosent hav any kind of resolution ... and he also said that he didnt have any trust on taking resolution and trying it for only one year... he says do it if u need it.. and dont wait for the new yr's 1st day to start from ground zero...

And if u guys ask me.. i have never taken any resolution but every year i ask myself to think of some resolution .. but never thought of a good one...

We came across an interesting assessment.. 'Find most common resolution' ... the top one was to 'QUIT SMOKE'...

Whats your resolution... !
