It is turning out that Sunsets are one of my most favorite things to photograph lately… North Carolina’s Outerbanks gave yet me another chance to engage in this favorite type of picture…. I literally pulled over on the side of the road as soon as I could, when I saw this ball of gold and took a walk for a quarter of a mile backwards to compose this perfection…! [Outerbanks,...

Read MoreLonely Tree
By the time winter ended, a trip to the NJ shoreline was a must! This lonely winter-torn tree was screaming for my attention at the edge of the bay at Sandy Hook.. I couldn’t resist converting it to a b/w image to bring out the loneliness and the feeling of a bare winter gone-by. The original was shot in color and at a f8 / ISO 200 this image stands out.. [Shot at Sandy Hook,...

Read MoreSailboat
Hudson River and Sailboats – these are two things that enlighten the warm days in the NY region… One cannot walk away from the Hudson without seeing at least a few of these. It was on one such day I snapped this shot after a long afternoon walking around various parts of NYC. I set my Tamron 18-200 at its maximum 200 mm and used a “who cares” F7.1 on this image. I later converted it into a B/w image to bring out the lovely sails on this one! [Shot in NY,...

Passing through villages and rural roads have so many interesting subjects to the photographer in me! This old bullock cart sitting at the edge of this farmland just was waiting to be clicked! On this lovely bright day, I adjusted my camera to a who cares aperture of F11 and at ISO 200. [Shot somewhere near Sangali,...
Read MorePillars and Arches!
Entry-way arches and pillars of old castles carry so many stories – relayed and untold… The mystery that surrounds of the lives that were – just makes me want to remain here and go back in time to experience the times… Here on the left, I captured the entrance arches of a section of a castle inside the red fort. The second image, is that of the long hallway inside the area surrounding the wonderous Taj Mahal! [Shot at Agra, India] The long hallway inside the area surrounding the wonderous Taj Mahal in Sepia!

Old architecture in the capital of India is full of tombs and castles. Humayun – the father of Akbar, a Mughal Emperor who made quite an impact on the history of India is laid to rest in one such structure known as Humayun’s Tomb. I captured this entryway into the tomb’s building. The entire area is adorned with lush green gardens. I loved capturing the symmetry in this image, that these structures are so famous for!

Tall structures?! Try built in the 12th Century! This is the tallest structures built of red sandstone and stands over 200 ft tall.. To this day it still stands tall. Numerous repairs have been made to the structure, and I had the pleasure of visiting on warm balmy Delhi summer days. [Shot at Delhi,...
Read MoreWater n’ Ice
Continuing the series of waterfalls here… I set out to capture just the sheet of ice but quickly realized as I was composing the shot that the water mixed in with it would give the necessary drama to the image. To make the waterfall appear like a sheet of water right next to the sheet of ice, I decided to shoot the waterfall at a slower shutter speed of 0.5 sec and at ISO-100 for a overcast day! [Shot at Dunnfield Creek Trail,...

Central Park in NYC.! It was a gorgeous summer afternoon and there I was experimenting with my recently acquired 70-300 lens taking in shots around the park. Thats where I found this lady engrossed in her phone and oblivious to the world passing by! [Shot in Central Park,...
Read MoreWaterfall
I found this waterfall and many others on our favorite Hiking trail in Pennsylvania on a warmer-January morning. A cloudy morning was the perfect setting for this shot. A snow-drought hardly stopped the amount of water coming down this one. Ever fascinated by this type of capture, I like this look of the image as if a veil of water that is coming down the hills. I shot this at slower shutter speed of 0.5 s and at ISO 100. [Shot at Dunnfield Creek Trail,...
