Day 81 | March 22 2007 | Ying Yang
2007-03-22 13:30:00
Ying Yang are the famous and widely exploited Chinese symbols of feminine vs. masculine or passive force vs. active force. Exploited mostly for their commercial attractiveness than their real meaning, they can be see on a lot of inexpensive Chinese decorative goods. Like the popular Feng Shui stuff. This one was a wind chime, hanging outside a Chinese food joint.The background is so blur due to the shallow DOF.

Those are the insides of a Rose flower. Visible are whorls of stamens; the filament topped by an anther where the pollen is produced.There was a strong breeze which was making it difficult to click this rose. So this one, is a best of almost 20 photos.

Day 79 | March 20 2007 | Signs in the night
2007-03-20 06:01:00
The lights were out, and there was nothing to do. My wife was playing with some flashy key chains and light balls; so here are the results. After a lot of failed tries, we succeeded in catching sensible shapes on the camera. Is that cool or what?

Day 78 | Mar 19 2007 | Solar Eclipse
2007-03-19 07:01:00
Posting these photos piping hot, taken at 6.47AM IST today on a construction site near my office. It was a wonderful sight to see. My friend Sandip commented that its looking like some ones taken a bite of the Sun.The sunrise was very normal, but the Sun got exceptionally brighter as time passed, making it painful to continue watching with naked eyes. Finally I had to keep taking photos of it and check them on the camera's LCD. The bright line above the Sun in this pic is not any distortion or flare, its a small cloud formation. See another one here.Now that I can reflect on the event, what more can one ask for.. two eclipse's in a month! Guess what, there are two more this year...

Day 77 | March 18 2007 | P.S.L.V - Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium
2007-03-18 10:02:00
Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle or PSLV, is India's primary satellite launch vehicle, developed indigenously by ISRO. First launched in 1993, it has since sucessfully lauched 11 times, catapulting India in the big league of space technology. The PSLV also carries foreign payload at competitive prcies. India Shining!This one is a to-scale model replica in the premises of the Jawaharlal Nehru Plan e tarium Bangalore. The Planetarium has a wonderful show in the sky theater, which I'm sure children as well as adults would love to watch. I was awestruck to see a beautiful replica of the real sky, stars and constellations, being projected on the darkened sky dome. The show also highlights Einstein and his valuable work. Do visit and catch the 4.30Pm English language show.

Day 76 | March 17 2007 | Bangalore Palace
2007-03-17 09:10:00
Bangalore Palace , designed on the lines of Windsor Castle in London, is classic Tudor architecture. Its a wonderful majestic looking palace, a must visit in Bangalore. The furniture and decoration inside is really cool. Lots of beautiful paintings, especially the nude artistic art sets an antique mood to the place.Why did I not post photos of the insides... well the ticket for a camera costs a whooping Rs.500, which I did not buy. The high cost is because the palace is privately owned by the current King Wodeyar; unlike all other ancient or heritage places in India being owned by the Govt.Btw, the palace is also available for private parties; is that cool or what!

It's cricket time again, Cricket World Cup 2007 is here! The cricket fever is ON and people of this cricket crazy nation are going crazy already.This is the photo of another such cricket related activity going on on the streets of Koramangala, Bangalore. Airtel has put up a mobile display, carrying a huge wooden bat, and fans are signing and putting their messages on it... Another marketing gimmick?

Day 64 | Mar 05 2007 | F.R.I.E.N.D.S
2007-03-05 08:35:00
On a one day bike trip to Shivagange, a trekking spot 60Km away from Bangalore, I was more than delighted to find monkeys in huge numbers. I clicked like crazy, offering (rather bribing) them with some chocolates. These 3 friends were just holding on to each other as if it was the end of the world.

This is a new project I'm venturing out on. This is going to be a photography specific project, where I post one photo every day for the rest of the year, and perhaps years to come. This project is mainly to motivate myself to take more photographs, learn and improve out of the process. Frequency of posts would be weekly and if possible daily.So wish me luck and do keep watching this space.Here are my existing blog links...My Personal Blog: http://adityabhelke.blogspot.com/My Flickr Photo Blog: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cloudnumber9 /
