Scavenger Hunt - Week 5th February

This is a very late entry for the Scavenger Hunt - Week 5th February. Though the encouraging part was taking out the camera and shooting after a while. I am not happy with all the work but surely happy about the fact that I could think and shoot in the very limited time that I managed.

The five submissions were for Strike a Pose, Footwear, Hobby, Shiny and Colour me Green.

Here is my interpretation and entry for the Scavenger Hunt.

1.Strike a Pose
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Twirl; a little doll created by paper quilling. Well, this could have made it through to Hobby as well :)
Also, this is the first use of the macro extension tube, and I like the results.

2.Footwear
Traditional colourful Indian footwear - Mojri or Mojari

3.Hobby
This one got me thinking; travel or photography? So I settled for something that gets going in both!

4.Shiny
A cookie box...ooo...shiny!

5.Colour me Green
A little Bamboo Shoot plant

Scavenger Hunt - Week 13th November

This post is for the Scavenger Hunt - Week 13th November. The five submissions were for Opposing Lines, Before and After, Custom Bokeh, Which Pair of Shoes Should I Wear and Little Features.

Here is my interpretation and entry for the Scavenger Hunt.

1. Opposing Lines

I'm not sure if I can do justice to this image; it was rather disturbing feeling when I took it because this was taken at Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar. Today a memorial, this place witnessed human massacre when General Dyer ordered a mass firing at a gathering that saw over 1000 innocent civilians, men, women and children, die. To protect themselves a few jumped in a (this well) but probably never made it out. 

Locked Inside the Depths

 2. Before and After

On my recent trip to London, I was fortunate to see evolution right on the street. And to me, it is also a perfect fit for this theme.

Before - The Old London Red Bus

After - The Modern day London Red Bus

3. Custom Bokeh

On a trip to Bhandardara, near Mumbai, I caught this macro of a Dragonfly; the bokeh though came off pretty well with little dots all around

4. Which Pair of Shoes Should I Wear

Men generally have an advantage when it comes to picking their shoes. Mine's a little too simple, here are the settings for my feet - shoes for home, work and play

5. Little Features

Another interesting shot that I managed in London when the summers came back during autumn. It was a pleasant surprise for all, but who better to show how to have fun than little kids. Don't miss out on the little toddler who watches on, almost waiting and wanting to jump in himself.
