Independence Day Showers

Iyappa Park near BEL office.


Got caught in the heavy rain. The visibility was damn poor. So this time these shots were taken when stationary ;)


How's the composition ?


This one is the rear view mirror.

Hey the first pic... Namma manege tumba tumba hathira :)

Kousik said...

Good idea. Did you try multiple shots, one focussed on the droplets on screen, one outside (just fuzzy) ... ?

Sangeeta said...

Maga,

Super photos kandla....however, some more suggestions (nanage bere kelsa illa guru...bari comments hodiyadu nandu kelsa...he he he).

Maga, why not concentrate on people kano -- like Russel Market, or Malleshwaram Market on Sampige Road -- you'll get to see so many types of people kano (Lo, it's been years since I left Blore -- I've heard that it's changed a lot, so forgive me if I sound dated). You could check out old Anglo-Indian bungalows, churches, homes, etc kano -- in Cantonment, Frazer Town, etc. Enu helthiya? Each of these areas capture a unique, respective essence -- Malleshwaram showcasing mainly Kannada and Tamil facets of old Blore, the Blore East areas capturing the Christian, Anglo-Indian/British essence of Blore.

Maga, couple of cool places to take nature related snaps -- UAS campus on Bellary Road and of course, our very own IISc campus.

Kempegowda raste mathu Avenue Road nalli thumbha subjects ide kano for a photographer. The key, acc to me, to being a great photographer is to find the extraordinary in the mundane, ordinary things kano. That's what makes you guys special from the rest of us ordinary folks.

Ninna snaps supperaagide kano. Just wish I had some talent like that.

All the best. Keep clicking away. I hope you could capture some more moments of old Blore (Basavangudi, Jayanagara, for eg). I"ve heard that that Blore is fading away fast. It's only snaps like yours that will help us look at the beauty of it all some day.

Anna,

Neevu/Thaavu/Nimma antha kharaab language use maadbeda pa. Naanu olle Jurassic age inda bandidini antha ansuthe, when you use language like that.

Naanu ninna thara ne idde -- writer aagbeku antha idde several years back, but unfortunately namma haalladu society nalli bari engineering/medicine ge hogbeku antha sick mentality ide kano. I can relate to your photography liking completely. But, do not let it affect you kano. No one's stopping you from fulfilling your photography buzz as a hobby.

Lo, Chord Road photo nodade -- it's freakin' crazy man. I used to cycle on NH4 once upon a time, to go to school. I don't think in today's day and age, that would be possible.

Sadhya Mumbai nalli idini. Kachada andare yappa, kelbeda kano. Galeej jana, kettadagi iro attitude mathe thiga-ganchali jaasthi. Aiyyo, eke kelthiya. Namma Kannada ne best kano, enadru helu. Nammma Karantaka, namma Cauvery thaayi ne olle kano.

Maga, innondu suggestion kano -- why not submit your photos to magazines like Time Magazine (for their Asian edition). You can always be a freelance photographer, see what their needs are and see if there is a match. All you have to do is create your own portfolio and get in touch with someone there kano. Or, why not talk to someone at National Geographiic? Do some research as to their offices in India, get some contact names, write some emails, direct them to your blog...do something kano...you have such a special gift...don't let it go waste kano. Nanna thara chappargalu thumbha idare (millions of us, I might add), who wish they were talented like you kano. We want to do something special but we are not gifted. Ninage gift ide but enu maadthilla ninu. Eno prapancha idu? Enu helthiya magane? Give it a shot. For every 20 doors that will slam you, there may be, just may be, one door that will open.

Best,

Raki
