Today I had gone to drop my mom to the New Delhi Railway Station and decided to take along my Nikon Coolpix 7MP. I wanted to check how it performs outside when the car is moving. I’m not very happy with the result, but then I guess I need to fiddle with it a bit more because I know it can do better. Here are a few of them. I’ll be uploading more on Flickr later.
Today we didn’t have electricity the whole day. This affored me time to sit outside for a while with the camera and take some snaps.
These flowers gave me the idea of taking the photographs. I always used to rue that whatever Gulmohar we have in the proximity never blossoms. This one has blossomed for the first time.
This was my lunch today while I sat outside: 7 almonds and a cup of cold, sugar-less milk.
Another relic we’re about to dispose off. This box has been with us for more than 30 years. I have seen it all my life containing Dad’s college files.
My first attempt at capturing something in constant motion. It’s not very clear. For half-an-hour I tried photographing giant ants but I’ll try that with a better camera.
A ripe ground for mosquitoes?
We got this pot from Dilli Haat to keep it on my table. It had a cactus plant. The cactus died and now the pot is lying outside.
Two lamps in our bedroom.
An old Tatanka poster on our almirrah.
Alka had to go to the hospital for her regular check-up so we thought, why not go to Atta (a market in NOIDA, UP) after that, from where Alka needed to buy a few homeopathic medicines and I wanted to buy a USB mouse for my laptop. Here are a few pictures I took while Alka shopped around and I waited in the car.
This picture I took while Alka had gone to buy the medicines. It is full of wires.
This is the second picture at the same place but without the wires.
Since there was no parking place there, we ended up parking the car at a random place, and while fiddling with the camera, I noticed this board :-). I constantly looked around for a tow-away crane but fortunately it didn’t appear.
This baby banyan tree was in front of the complex where Alka went to purchase my USB mouse. Banyan trees grow to massive proportions so I wonder how the congested complex will accommodate it after a few years.
This time we parked at a safe parking place.
I‘ll be publishing a series of afternoon photographs I’ll be clicking when everybody in the house sleeps. This is my favorite summer time…quiet afternoons.
I heard a few sparrows chirping and squirrels squeaking so I went outside with the camera. The best time to click them is in the mornings when they come to feed on Alka’s bajra and small pieces of left-over fruits that she leaves for them amidst the plants. They disappeared by the time I settled myself with the camera.
I’m currently using Sony’s handycam that my father brought last Diwali. I’m planning to buy my own digital camera that would be a 4-5 mega pixel piece. This current one is not that sharp. I have a camera in my mobile phone but that too is something I don’t feel satisfied with. But until I buy my own digicam, I’ll be clicking a few shots with these two available devices.
This is the beehive I talked about when I wrote about a bee dying in the mud while I sat outside feeling a bit sad. It’s a big hive. The honey-collectors have knocked at our doors many times but we always refuse to let them destroy the hive and squeeze out the honey.
This is a very old chair we’re about to dispose off. Actually it should have been taken away and I wondered why it was still lying there.
These are the recently blossomed branches of a tree near our house.
Somehow the handycam was clicking three times for one shot, and hence, was capturing three images each time. There were some other photographs already on the memory stick, so I couldn’t click more. Next time.
