I did not expect the scraggly and overgrown garden in front of my house to have anything worth photographing. But I was pleasantly surprised when on Sunday I tried out my newly acquired tripod in it. There were quite a lot of very small but beautiful flowers worth photographing. This is one of them. But for the very strong wind which made it next to impossible to do macro work I’d have got many more. I’m not very happy with this but didn’t get time to process any of the other ‘better’ photos so am putting this one up instead.

This is the third and final photo in the contrail series. It is also my favorite among the three.

The is the second photo in the contrail series. Btw I forgot to mention that all three photos are from the same place, Konigswinter.

In other news, I finally put together a rough portfolio of my favorite photos. It is just a stop gap thing until I develop something more to my liking so it is a little rough around the edges! You can find the link at the top of the main page of the photoblog.

Starting with today I’ll be posting three photos over the next three days centered around the broad theme of contrails. As you can probably tell, if you are a regular visitor here, I love these trails made by planes in the sky. In all three I’ve played around with the white balance so what you see is not exactly what I got. Having said that I still like how they have turned out although today’s photo is probably the one I least prefer among the three!

At last, one actor from the Indian mainstream film industry who has the guts and the brains to speak out against the current state of the Indian media. Read the interview where he rips Indian media to shreds here.

Reading it felt like as if he was speaking some of the words in my head. I wonder why more people do not talk about this or is that a stupid question in itself as which mainstream media will permit such a frank criticism of itself?
