Picture of the day

Captured from my home..., originally uploaded by thelegendreturns.

Captured this today from my home...

Have posted several pictures in the past of dusk / sunset captured from my home on this blog. I really consider myself lucky to have enjoyed these views for close to 23 years of my life now. However, soon these views would be gone as the panorama is fast filling up with new construction, sigh!

Lets enjoy the sights while we still have them!

Window shooting (Part 1) and photography tips for shooting sunsets & moons

"I enjoy travelling and recording far-away places and people with my camera. But I also find it wonderfully rewarding to see what I can discover outside my own window. You only need to study the scene with the eyes of a photographer."

- Alfred Eisenstaed

First sunset of 2010

Another shot from my house. Picture of 2010's first sunset. Near the base of the tall building, nature appears to have made brush strokes in the sky with yellow colour. What a beautiful beginning to the new year!

Violence & Peace

Even as the fiery sky threatens, the domes of this building stand serenely in mock defiance.

Took this shot from my home some months back.

Postcards for my dear - omnibus

Probably the last in the current series. Lots more to share...may be sometime later!

Postcards for my dear

An assortment of pictures on which I decided to employ some creativity.

Get in the dock

A fisherman trying to dock his boat at the Rajpuri port. Just sitting at the dock and watching the locals go about their chores is a great experience...telling us the simplicity of life beyond the financial world. This is also the place from where on can hire a sail boat to the Janjira fort (covered in my earlier posts).

Silhouettes of time

The small house below (uninhabited) presents a picture of loneliness and adds mystery to the picture. The lifeless tree conveys a feeling of been mauled by time and yet standing there trying to provide a semblance of shade to the house. Picture was taken next to the Sutarwadi lake near Kolad (covered in an earlier post).

Men at work

Men working in an under-construction building - shot taken from the confines of my room. The glow of the incandescent bulb, dark surroundings and human silhouettes make for an interesting abstract picture.

Homely sunset

This shot was taken from my house during the winter season. One can spot the silhouette of Yogi Hills in the lower half of the picture.

Thums Up

Personally felt that this hill (popularly called the Thums Up of Raigad) would look even better when captured through the naked branches.
