The lighting was just right yesterday afternoon.. and I dragged my sister to the window and took these pics.. The contrast & color’s of D70 are almost as good as Canon’s. I miss the live LCD display from my old camera. I cannot view the pic in the LCD, till I actually take the picture.
After debating for 2 months, I finally made up my mind and bought the Nikon D70 DSLR. Costed me a bomb and yes I’m totally broke now. So here I come.. into the brave new world of SLR’s. The camera rocks.. it has best of both digital and film worlds. I currently have the 18-70mm ( 35mm eq of 28-105mm) lens. I cannot spent anymore on the lens currently.. will prob do it next year. Will post some pics soon. In other news, khorgath decided to buy my old camera.
Remember kids.. Its time to vote tomorrow and BJP seems to be everyone’s fav party. I ask you all to look back a little and then decide. India Shining : Well we all know its was an amazing marketing campaign. But lets face it, BJP has done nothing. It was at the right place at the right time. Thats all. Pakistan : We had a major battle with them, we were at the brink of a major war and just before the elections things seem to be all goodie. Nice no ? Genocide : Don’t forget the horrible killings in…
brad (LiveJournal founder), seems to have made a kickass presentation about LJ at MySQL Users Conference. If your work involves databases and load-balancing , then you *must* check out his slides. Jeremy has a nice write-up on the talk as well. I put up the ljimages thingy on my site. Its ADDICTIVE.
My gmail invite was cancelled coz I work for Yahoo! ( apperently hotmail employees are being denied too )
Search for “Disgusting pics“ on Google and my Coke incident gets lucky.
It’s been very annoying week. Earlier this week, I was stabbed in the back by someone I work with. What’s worse is, I feel betrayed and used. My ideology took a beating as well. This put me on a bitchy mood all week. I flamed people on lists, was rude to people on messenger and it took a toll on my regular work as well. The long weekend that was suppose to cheer me up, ain’t happening the way I expected it to. hmmm…
Amateur photographers like me crop images to enhance parts of the image or to cut off unnecessery distractions. Can journalists do the same to hide parts of the story ?

My co-worker, Sunil Nagaraj ( if you are quizzer from blr, you might know him) is a weather man. He has been measuring the daily temp(min/max), humidity,dew point, wind speed etc in Bangalore for the last decade. He spends an hour everyday at various weather sites , checking out the weather info of various cities in India. He even has a small weather monitoring kit at home. So earlier this week, he got me interested into lightning strikes when both of us spent more then an hour counting the lightning strikes from my office balcony. He promised me a treat…
The mega-pixels(mp) in a camera do not mean a thing. ( So please don’t go running after after the new 8mp cameras that are coming out ). Good lens and large CCD/CMOS sensor make all the difference. A 1mp camera with large sensor size can take better pics then 5mp camera with smaller sensor size. When it comes to talking colorful pics, Canon and kodak just kick ass. For everything else there is Nikon. Few of the pics I took using canon S400 are way more colorful then most of my pics from my current nikon camera. Above rule applies…
