One Eye

October 29, 2011August 26, 2018Posted in UncategorizedTagged micro four thirds, Olympus E3, self portrait3 Comments

The Olympus EP3 is one brilliant camera for street photography. Big thanks to its blazing auto-focus, which is much faster than my Canon S5 IS, hell much faster than many high end DSLRs out there in the market. This one camera has suddenly got me interested in the micro four-third sensor camera category. It was with me for a couple of weeks and I had an absolute blast shooting on the streets with it. Snap on a 12mm prime lens and you are set for some really sharp wide-angle shots.

Maybe one day when i have enough money to spend, i’ll think about purchasing this as an add-on camera to my next camera purchase – a Canon DSLR.

An unfulfilled bet

October 1, 2011August 26, 2018Posted in UncategorizedTagged marketplace, Mount Abu, Nakki lake, reflections, self portrait, shopping, street photography9 Comments

I was walking around the market place in Mt. Abu with a friend, when we came across this shop of glares and noticed this young chap looking at our cameras. He was holding fort till his uncle would get back to the shop.

I told him that I’d show him some magic. I would click him as well as my friend in the same frame, catch being, my friend would not stand beside him. He was kinda surprised and said i cannot do it. It was a bet.

His smile widened after he saw the image, and saw me in it too. But, he did not keep his part of the bet. Which was to give us those glares for free. Smart.

A Self Portrait

I’m a huge fan of reflection. Have explored it on the blog in Walking Tall , You Are Not Alone, Victoria Memorial Reflections 1 and 2 and so on. This time thought of attempting self portraiture. The place, ah well, I’ll let that remain a secret for some time now.

Update: Came across this interesting piece on Self Portraiture on the Better Photography website.
