Starting my own Photo 365
Update: The photo blog is up and running!!! You can visit it here or use the menu on the top of the page to go to the Photo Blog. The concept is slightly changed though. It's no longer a 365 type of project, rather more of a One Photo a Day kind of project. The time is now ripe for me to commit to a project that will require me to take one photo every day for the next 365 days. Today is the 31st of December 2009...

Sony Alpha 300 Sensor Cleaning
For the last couple of months I have had to do a lot of cloning and fixing of most of the day time photos that I have shot due to dust stuck to the sensor of my Sony A300. I spend a lot of time post processing for dust specs removal to otherwise perfectly good images. The reason that I have so much dust on my sensor, is probably because I like to change my lenses a lot, in the field. That's what happens when you...

Working on your Holiday Photos with Digikam
This is the holiday season and you expect to take a lot of photographs. If you are not planning on taking a lot of photographs, you are at least planning on taking more photographs than you usually take. Just past the new year you would probably realize that you have a lot of photographs and not so much time to work on them, especially if you are in the “occasional photographer” category. The number of photos that yo...

Carrying Out Batch Actions in digiKam
I have written about digiKam in the past. That was more of an overall review of a great piece of open source software. Recently, I have had the opportunity to use the individual features of digiKam more in detail. One of the features that I use most frequently is “Batch Editing”. Honestly I used to use Phatch for all my batch editing needs until a few weeks ago. However, since the time that I have started using dig...

Review: Kata DR 467i Camera Laptop Backpack
I had been itching to get my hands on a comfortable backpack that could accommodate my camera with the additional lenses, cables and other stuff that I like to carry on me with my camera, in addition to a standard 14 or 15 inch laptop. I researched on the internet for the right bag for quite some time. I really didn’t want to go overboard with this selection since I don’t plan to increase my camera gear by any sub...

Ganpatipule

Ganapatipule is a beach destination near Mumbai. It is about 7 hours drive from the city and a favourite for religious people as it is one of the 8 places where one of Lord Ganesha’s forms is embodied in a temple. This is a set of pictures that I had taken during my trip there.

The beach at Ganpatipule is clean and there are stretches that are truly awesome

This is a view of the MTDC resort at Ganpatipule. Nice place to stay but crappy food.

That’s me.

The sun is beginning to set. However here you can’t drink on the beach as there is a temple nearby.

This is one of the other beaches that can just be driven onto and its so clean too

We played on this beach while it rained. The cold and warm waters mixed to give us an amazing feeling.

A lone old tree stands at the centre of the Fort’s compound

You can see a panoramic view of the different waters mixing in the sea from the Fort

And another…

Its getting dark now

$What the hell. Missed this shot by a fraction of a second$

What the hell. Missed this shot by a fraction of a second

On our way back we ran into some monkeys.

Deep in the jungles in the outskirts of Bangalore resides one of the fiercest of animals humans have come across in recent history. Someday I will have an article to start off in this way, but for now we only need to go about one and a half hours out of Bangalore on the Bannerghatta

Driven (Mad) in Bangalore

Driving around in Mumbai is pretty easy. People mostly stick to their lanes, use signals and only the people you expect to misbehave, misbehave. Also, since there is so much traffic, there is very little movement and hence, scope for misbehaving. Bangalore is just the opposite. The traffic is okay apart from the usual hot

The Hide Out for Non-Criminals

Finding a place near Mumbai where you can go and relax is not that easy. You not only have to decide and plan on the schedule, but you also have to decide whether you want to do the usual things or you want to do something different. We decided to do something different. So instead

Niagara in December

If anyone has been to Niagara Falls in the summer months, you probably end up talking about the Maid of the Mist and all the pageantry and festiveness of the place. What do you get if you go there in the peak of winter when the place is getting hit by snow storms and wind

Ontario Science Centre

I am a big science buff. I love watching both good and bad science. The speculative science that just wants to see something bad happen to the world and also the real science being made by real nerds. Science is fun. I watch a lot of shows on Discovery and National Geographic and I follow

The Royal Ontario Museum

I hadn’t been to a Museum in a really long time. The last one I had been to was on an island in the middle of the reservoir of a Dam! Yes it was! The island used to be the top of a hill! Yes! The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) had no such characteristics. It

CN Tower

Roaming around in Toronto is made a lot easier because of the City Pass. This basically gives you access to 6 or so places frequented by most visitors to the city and at quite a discount compared to if you had to go to each of the places separately. The problem is that you need
