Moved to India

When you work in IT industry, you are always on the wheels. The life is very dynamic and you learn to enjoy and accept these changes. I frankly think that many of the folks from IT have started photography because they get to go around the world, work in different countries, meet people with different cultures, experience the extreme weathers etc etc... which are all the necessary ingredients to get into Photography. 

India is dynamic, colorful, random..and it will be exciting to see what photography I can do in India. Life's gonna be busy, but gotta find some time for passion ! 

Not going to write much.... will post pictures when I go for a photography trip ! Till then ... tk care ! and have a nice day !!

New additions to my photography gear

Whether you are a Pro photographer or a hobby photographer, we all suffer from what photographers call 'GAS' (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). We always want to buy new photography gear and we somehow find a way to budget for it (big or small). 

This year was no different for me. I bought a couple of things that I hope will help me improve my photography. 

Dolica GX 600B200 Ball Head Aluminum Tripod

So this one goes back almost a year. I was looking for a good (semi-pro) tripod for a while and I was finally able to buy it this year.  I have had tripod before, a Vanguard tripod that I originally bought for my Canon Rebel T1i. It was a $30 tripod that everyone starts off with. Vanguard tripod was a decent tripod, very useful with my T1i, but somehow not sturdy enough to support my Canon 6D. So I definitely needed an upgrade. I selected Dolica GX tripod series because 

• It is a semi-pro tripod, loaded with features
• Aluminum tripod, so it weighs less but is sturdy enough for my Canon 6D
• Ball head 
• And last but not the least, reversible center column (a feature that I always wanted) 

 

Canon PowerShot S110 

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the DSLRs that I own are absolutely wonderful and amazing ! But there are always times when you cannot carry the big DSLR camera with you. To take pictures in those situations, I wanted to buy a Point and Shoot camera that I could rely upon. I have had a Nikon point and Shoot camera that I bought about 5-6 years back, but honestly speaking I was not very impressed with that camera myself. While it was a good camera when there was enough light, it failed in low light situations. So this was a year to buy a new point and shoot and me being a Canon fanatic, was always going to buy a Canon. I had 2 options in mind S110 and S120, but I ultimately decided to go with S110 because of low cost. Since this was not going to be my primary camera, cost was a major factor in making that decision. The camera ofcourse is wonderful with good daylight and low light performance. 


What next?
Well, I have a long list of things that I want to buy in 2015. But let's see how much I am able to buy from that list :-) until then, keep clicking and keep reading my blog !!
