A warkari awaiting his turn to get darshan at the Bhimashankar temple.
This was my first attempt to street photography. I asked him if I could click his picture and I was overwhelmed with the response, each of them wanted to pose for me..I have a series coming up.
Oh yes and also I have used some portrait manipulation recommended by Babul from the site deviantart , Thanks

dotted flower

2009-04-01T11:14:00.000-07:00

I don't know the name of this flower, but I liked the colours and pattern on it. sometimes I wonder how well we adapt to colors in nature, I am sure I have seen a dress or some clothes with similar colors and pattern.

strawberry my favourite

2009-03-06T07:30:00.000-08:00

I found this pic in my database, one of the first ones taken by my nokia N73 I would admit the flash has kinda ruined it but I wanted to make it a B&W and coloured so tried my hands on this one.

Buck

2009-03-03T06:52:00.000-08:00

spotted this one while experiencing Scotland. Localites advised us not to feed it and not to go near it coz one kick would land us in No mans land and it had thousands of ticks on it. but it looked so beautiful in the mountains, couldn't resist taking a pic of it. I've saturated the colours a bit.

Highland Cows

2009-02-24T10:05:00.000-08:00

the famous Highland cows, I wish I could get the ones which look like yaks , I saw them when I din't have a camera. Nevertheless I got a shot of a mother and child while grazing

a sunny daffodil

2009-02-17T08:08:00.000-08:00

This was clicked on my visit to the Highlands with my friend, I liked the sunshine from the background and the way the petals looked

bee

2008-09-17T14:52:00.000-07:00

I like the yellowness of this pic

London Eye at night

2008-08-05T13:59:00.000-07:00

The London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, is the tallest (135 metres (443 ft)) Ferris wheel in Europe, and has become the most popular paid tourist attraction in the UK, visited by over 3 million people a year. On the right is the aquarium and a 1 BHK apartment in the building encapsulated I was told costs 2500Quid per month...gosh...thats expensive.

My capture of London Eye on a summer night (waited till 10 o'clock) at night to capture this.[I thought I should not give up on one thing that I like so much :)]

2007-10-12T02:46:00.000-07:00

An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away, but if the Doctor is handsome keep the Apple away :). I was thrilled to see an apple tree in UK, One cannot find an apple tree at the place I live in India, hence I was excited to see one and this one had just fallen off the tree

Bud blooms to a flower

2007-10-10T07:47:00.001-07:00

This shot is taken in the evening when the Sun was just trying to hide itself behind these tall grass blades and I found it ;)

Pampas Grass

2007-09-25T16:26:00.000-07:00

These are some tall rushplants ( I think) does anybody know what they are called, i tried googling it but dint have the patience. I like the yellow color, I think they are green , a little pinkish in their early stages and yellow when they are old. I love the yellow color and the yellow and blue contrast here

Boat Race

2007-09-24T14:57:00.000-07:00

Eiffel Tower

2007-09-08T00:09:00.000-07:00

The Eiffel Tower at night, this is when 25000 bulbs flicker at the same time, this happens every hour. I am in love with this tower...awwww!! Paris is such a romantic place...I also missed having a tripod for night photography, I held my breath to take this pic to avoid shaking it much

The Pelican

2007-07-16T06:36:00.001-07:00

This is the first time I have ever seen a Pelican, I was total fida on it, it was shy initially but later posed a lot , watch out for some more.

Stonehenge

2007-06-07T04:46:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Amit and Beens for taking me to Stonehenge, Unbelievable to see such a structure built and conserved from old ,old very very old days. But what I dint understand is that in a place like britain where the sunlight does not last for long, how would they reflect/interpret things from the shadows of these stones. Anybody knows??
It was pretty grey day that day so I added some blue color to the pic.
