The Lonely Tree in Solitude

Day 2 of Project365 continues with a landscape shot from Lavasa. Anything standing out, always catches one's eye, and so did this lonely tree in solitude. Accompanying it for a change was a pleasant cloud cover. 


I also pondered what it would be to be staying in those little houses seen in the background on the foothills.

The London Eye Views at Night, London

There is little doubt in my mind that shooting the London Eye and Big Ben at night and even the twilight were absolutely enjoyable and were sheer delight. I am very pleased with how most of the photos have turned out; except with me having missed out on a couple of shots when I compared with mine at a later time. Nonetheless, I can say that I kinda got into London Eye's skin and here's why - I've played around with a lot of angles and views apart from the standard ones that I've already featured so far. And here's a collection of seven such shots. I've simply numbered them to get your votes on your favourites. 

 I hope to have a few matches :)

London Eye - 1







London Eye - 2


London Eye - 3


London Eye - 4 


London Eye - 5


London Eye - 6


    London Eye - 7   


Over to you; do let me know what's your favourite.

The Best of 2011 - Part 1

Another year has gone by! This was quite a fruitful year for me in my endeavors of photography and blogs; I feel I was religious to both. It also ends up being my best year in traveling that has allowed me to explore and shoot some very enchanting places around the world. 

'My Third Eye' has managed some good response in the last six months of active blogging, may be better than the mark I would have set for myself. It (the work posted) has received some great feedback and appreciation with a lovely bunch of people always responding with comments, shares and likes. And not to forget the other people who came by 'My Third Eye'; may be even liked something. The participation in weekly memes allowed me to test my skills and compete and learn with talented people across the world.

A year never goes by without learning and memories. So here's a look back at the top 10 posts that came along and were most appreciated, along with my insights on them. 

10. It's a tie - A Portrait of Lord Ganesh and Penning One's Thoughts. 

 A Portrait of Lord Ganesh: I am actually very happy this one made it as a popular choice as well, despite that it may not have been a photograph with perfect lighting. This was taken during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, which is a massive affair in Mumbai, India. For some reason, I take this to be very powerful and I do like the reflections/bokeh that came in. It was a difficult shot because I took this in a massive crowd, under the rain with very little and uneven lighting. The end result; very satisfying for me, and eventually to the you guys as well. This is the festival that I covered in its entirety; more photos can be seen here, with the original post here.
  
Penning One's Thoughts: I took this for a photograph meme simply as a challenge and to fit the theme that eventually turned out as a pretty good photograph. The original posts and comments can be seen here


9. The Bare Tree

I took this shot in a place called Bhandardara, a weekend getaway close to Mumbai, India. The winters aren't really that harsh and not all trees shed all leaves. This one was in solitude, at the edge of a cliff with just the bark and branches. I decided to shoot black-and-white and it seems to have done complete justice. The original post and comments can be seen here.

Here was the first set and we countdown to the number 1, the people's champ. What do you think about the first set? Does it feature any of your favourites from My Third Eye?

You can also view Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 of this series. 

And of course, the finale from Part 5.

The Mall and Admiralty Arch London

The Mall and Admiralty Arch London


The Mall, London, is a road running from Buckingham Palace to Admiralty Arch, adjacent to St. James' Park and then on to Trafalgar Square. It is closed to traffic on Sundays and public holidays, and on ceremonial occasions. The beauty about this road is that the colour of the surface of The Mall is red that gives the effect of a giant red carpet leading up to Buckingham Palace. 

Here seen are people cycling and walking at The Mall, adjacent to St. James' Park on a Sunday.

An English Summer in Autumn - Hammersmith, London

An English Summer in Autumn - Hammersmith, London

I had heard a lot about English Summers and how people enjoy it by going out to the parks, enjoying the sun, their barbeque and much more. And it always interested me to experience it because summers in India are best avoided due to the excessive heat. While on a recent trip to London I was extremely lucky to see summer come back in autumn because of climate changes. Hope you enjoy the post, just like I did.
Summer is here again



People are out at the otherwise romantic dinner place enjoying their coffee and sun in the morning. People are also out jogging and cycling. 



The night life friendly pub next door too doubles up for people to enjoy English breakfast in bright sunshine


 Clear blue skies, bright sunshine and soothing shade and shadows tell me why the English summer is worth an experience
