I had always wanted to capture the moon shining beyond the tree in front of my home, many a clear night. What I did not realize is that my dear Olympus is capable of taking this out of the world long expsoure shot. Really fantastic for a 15 second exposure.

The warm sunset spreads its golden light on the mountain behind the Great Mall, Milpitas, Califronia. This mountain is a perfect biking and trekking hangout for most people out here, especially during summers.

Wondering what these puffs of cotton are? Well, these are Cumulus clouds that I shot while on a flight from HongKong to San Francisco. They were milky white, large and gushy and were symbolic of endless bursts of inner emotions bubbling from us humans often! Arent they looking so nice!? :)

As I was within the aircraft and it was quite dark inside, had to use really large FNumber to capture this well as I didnt use the flash either!

A beautiful "white rose" to begin my blog! In all the midst of thick green shrubs, this white beauty symbolizes calm and peace of mind all around. Well, although its strictly not a white rose, its termed so in India due to its cetain amount of similarity with the former.
