The shikras are back again in our Ashiana neighborhood in Lucknow - after a gap of two years. They were last seen in June '17. And here they are again, exactly 2 years later.

Nice capture that - the expression is perfect! Reminds me of a tuition teacher we had during school days - a universally unpopular character!

One quick grab at home from my 2-month-old brand new Tamron 150-600 G2 which is now on sale

Almost no light hence ISO 6400. Shot on my monster D3s @600 f/6.3 1/100s handheld; some 50% crop too from the JPEG from the 12MP sensor

These bugs (lady-bugs??) and the ants sharing breakfast on the same stem. There seems to be some quarrel going on between the bugs. From the terrace, Lucknow.

I found myself in Kuala Lumpur last week. On business, so not much time to look around. In between meetings and dinner I managed to sneak out of our hotel an make it to the, what else, twin towers. I took about two dozen images.

I liked this in camera, double exposure, the best!

Olympus Pen F, 17mm

I came home last Saturday and had hoped to have some nice weather for some more photography.However, the weather was atrocious.
I will be attending a Black & White seminar organised by the RPS in a few weeks and you are supposed to bring five B&W images. I rarely, if ever, do B&W. But I figured the lousy, gloomy weather might actually work well for B&W images.

Olympus E5, MK2, 12-40mm, 12mm, 0.5s, f 6.3 Benro polarising, 6ND full and 2HD graduated, hard stop filter.

A very Dutch landscape, modern windmills, lots of water, rain and wind

We had spent last year's Durga Pujo in Kolkata, having missed it the last few years. And apart from the culinary treat (for which Kolkata is justly renowned), we were also in for a visual treat. The city's artisans/artists/sculptors had outdone themselves in creating visual themes to go with the statues of goddess Durga in her Mahishasur Mardini avatar.

The following gives an idea of the talent on display at the various venues all over the city. The family (mother, father & child) is part of the sculpture, which includes the family's household arranged within the confines of the pipe.

Yes, Durga Pujo in Kolkata does not disappoint.
