Eclipse

 

January 15 2010 was a great day for me. The day I watched Solar eclipse for the first time.
On that day, morning when i reached my office I saw a thick glass with one of my team mate. When I asked him what it is, he told it is glass used in welding shield and can be used to watch solar eclipse. I was every excited hearing this. I watched the solar eclipse and took my camera and clicked few of the snaps. I used the welding shield as filter for my camera lens. It was difficult to click since i don't have a tripod.

P.S.: Later on the same day when talked to my dad over phone I told him about this . Evening I got call from my mom enquiring me about the same. She was worried hearing about this. Mom never change, she want to take care of her children even if they are geographically far from home.

Communication...

 

Few months back I had been to Pajaka kshetra of Udupi district. While climbing the hill top of the temple, telephone post looked nice to my parallel eye :-). And my parallel eye opened for 0.001sec (Exposure timing of 1/2000). Cropping by Picasa 3 resulted in the above picture.

Pattadakal - Ramayana

 

This snap is taken when i had been to pattadakal Feb '08. The "Ramayana Sculpture" looked nice when the light rays fallen on it. Took the snap. This is the result.
