[Photography] Playing with the shutter speed.

For a beginner photographer having kit lens, shutter speed is the variable that he can play easily with. This Diwali I tried to do some tricks with increasing exposure time. I did not have tripod, alas! Though not very satisfied, here is the outcome of the project -

                              I did not use photoshop or any other software to create this image.

Happy Diwali :-)

[Photography] Kerala : God's Own Country

Wedged between Lakshadeep Sea and Western Ghats - Kerala is one of the most beautiful states of India. Here you can find beautiful tea estates, wildlife sanctuaries and most attractively houseboats. That is why lakhs of tourists visit it from both India and abroad.

We recently took a trip to Kerala for 4 days. It was on the most beautiful experience of my life. Here are some of the photographs from the trip.

This is me. Captain Jack Sparrow. Just Kidding :P

This trip was awesome. But Kerala could not be covered in a week. I will come back many more time to Kerala again. Right now Goa calls.
