This shot is taken from the inside of a train. Lower right portion of the photo is part of the train window. There was a lot of reflection on the window glass. I have used a circular polarizer which dramatically reduces reflection, but there is still some reflection left.

Luckily the train track was 5-10 meters higher than the road providing me this unique angle.

Clones

My first attempt at clone photography. I know I could've planned it better and in a better setting. But I get no time during the day with my camera :( Will definitely try it again this weekend.
My best buddy Anuj is the model here. He dropped by my place last night when I was checking this(worth checking out!) And I HAD to have a version of my own.

The basic trick here is to take 5 different photographs with rest of the room and camera at the same place.

I set my camera on the tripod and do couple of test fires in manual mode to get the exposure right. You don't want the exposure to change in different photographs, hence the manual mode works best here. (Hint: Avoid fluorescent lights as much as you can. It's the ugliest light you can get for photography. I didn't have a choice, sigh!)
I have to choose the aperture now. I choose f/8 to get a high depth of field (so the subject may move anywhere in the room and still be in focus). I don't want the focus to change among shots, as that will make merging difficult. So I leave the lens on manual focus mode.

f/8 doesn't allow me faster shutter speeds(necessary for sharper pics, as my subject can move) and I don't wanna use flash here (shadows are difficult to tackle) So I have to compromise and choose ISO:1250 (bloody tube-light!) and a shutter of 1/15s (slow, but Anuj is seasoned by now :P)

5 shots later, I'm on photoshop with 5 images stacked one over the other. It takes 10 minutes of fine tuning to let appropriate portion of each layer show(I like layer masks as it gives me better control)
And voila!

Another old pic. We went trekking to skandagiri. The jumping-jack in the picture is my friend Sarvesh.
I stopped down to f/11 for high dof, and 1/500s shutter to freeze the motion. The underexposure revealed the otherwise washed out textures in the sky. The jumping action, i agree, is quite cliched, but that's the best interesting form you can ask from an uninitiated :) Sarvesh sportingly jumped quite high. Note that we are half way up the hill and there's no horizontal (read safe) platform.

This photo looks more positive than negative to me. Because of the milder tone? Not sure.
I took this photograph some time back. At the new year's bonfire party to be exact. I chose high shutter speed to freeze the flame. I underexposed a lot too, to get more details in the midtones and to black out the timber and the background. To get the high flame, I asked a friend to pour some kerosene over the wood. No post processing done.

Can't think of an appropriate title for this one, but can't not post it either! This picture looks very calming and relaxing to me.
How does it make you feel?

No offense to the Austrians. I mean, just in case you do get offended by a developing nation using your flag to make otherwise-boring-traffic-cones look interesting. See, I respect you people. And that's why the title is not Dumb Austrian. Have a good day!
