Hey Preetam betta, strike some extra chords on your guitar or bang the keys of your keyboard, money will just overflow. You have the best ways to mint. Musicians are like goldmines these days.

TG: I forgot to ask this in my previous post. Certain angles of your shots, I really really wonder what positions you take. The last one for example, were you lying down on the public road ? Or was it a double decker ? I can imagine a shot like that only if I am totally flat on the floor pointing the cam to the sky.

Well, Sometimes i do lie down on the public road if i am sure its gonna give me the shot i want. But on that occasion i was just kneeing down and looking up. Just like this shot, for which also, I had kneeled down.

@TG :
Looks like you are more into yoga than photography

The second shot is absolutely brilliant! Cheers!

TG: The second shot takes the cake. I understand your colour sensors are not yet fully back to normal. Just another birdy !!

@TG: Amazing shots. To me, it's the first one that takes the cake. What a perspective and DOF!

@Preetam
I am putting on weight, I have to do some yoga!

@Shajufx
Nope, not yet

I am still on my black n white phase, but really enjoying it.

@Clevermax
I too like the first one better

Birding is not an easy task. Our engines go through places where an off-roader is supposed to. Sometimes there is no road ahead, then a bird comes to show the way !!

Let me be the first one to post my sunrise shots of today. Veeresh (HW), it was a real pleasure to be with someone whom we interact on a regular basis. You are gem of a person, thank you so much for giving me many useful tips on the macro thing. I will be posting some of them soon, some have exceeded my expectations ! Thanks buddy, we should meet up often.
