Photofriday: The Road

On the road to Shimoga I noticed the cover of the Mariza CD reflect in the windscreen. I learnt that a spell of rain can greatly enhance the melancholy that Fado often exudes.

Tonemapped, subjected to the usual saturation/contrast tweaks and then straightened and perspective corrected. Basically overprocessed :-)

Hey Deepak, I see something wrong with this picture.

  1. If I assume that the CD is placed on the dashboard of the vehicle, it means that you are going on the wrong side :)

  2. If I assume that the CD is placed at the rear of the back seats, the cycle wallas are on the wrong side

I tried seeing the mirror image by flipping the photo in photoshop, still doesn’t make sense

There are other colors too

There are other colors tooThere are other colors too

My fascination for the color blue has been so strong that I am certain its source is genetic. There was a time when I had every perceivable shade of blue in my wardrobe (that’s what I call a wardrobe malfunction”). I would pick two shirts with a barely perceivable difference in shade, and purchase them against the opinion of the salesman who would insist that the two are exactly the same. My take on the popular verse taught in kindergarten was this:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
How I wish
Roses were too
(I mean blue)

Taking photography a bit more seriously, remedied this situation a bit and I began to appreciate other colors. But a real reform — one whose scope extends to the wardrobe — came about after I made my acquaintance with this certain someone. This post goes out to that lady whose love for mustard, orange and maroon has been somewhat infectious.

Five blue shirts in a washing machine
Spinning in an old and boring routine
Along came a maroon one from the wife
And said to the blue lot dudes get a life!”

Coffee Bean Tan

Coffee Bean TanCoffee Bean Tan

We roast to perfection” reads a promotional brochure at Costa Coffee in Connaught Place, New Delhi. It is barely April but outside the sun insists on repeating the barista’s feat on unsuspecting visitors from cooler parts of the country. I miss Bangalore (hence this picture taken at Lal Bagh during the flower show on Republic Day) and wonder if I will acquire a coffee-bean tan by the time I return next week.

Since you are still using the blogger system… you could have migrated (can migrate) your entire blog from the blogspot onto your site provided your image hosting is not on blogger too otherwise u need to update.

The comments stay and u don’t lost them.

I did that.. and then u re-take your blogspot address and add a redirect on that to this location…

Hi Dr. Kishore,

I’ve been on blogger for 3 years. The blog had originally started as a regular text-only” blog. In Oct 2004 I got a camera and started putting pictures occasionally. About a year later, once I got a DSLR, it became a photoblog. The blog has seen 3 different styles of blogging and some 5 odd templates. Now for some reasons I had been yearning to start afresh minus the historical baggage and therefore the new blog.

In fact, I wanted to take the extreme step of deleting the archives altogether and leaving just a redirect to the new address but settled at letting the archives remain.

Ash

Congrats, Deepak :)

Came across your blog via Inkspill, and I really like your photoss..will be coming back often !

Deepak

Thanks Ash!
