A little about my photographic journey :
An amateur photographer, constantly learning the tricks of the trade, I started out with a Nikon Coolpix 4600 in 2005.
After a few years of operation, my interest grew. I always was interested in learning the nuances of photography.
To be able to do it better, I found this piece of equipment falling short.
However I wasn't interested in jumping the gun and upgrading to a DSLR, partly because I wanted to climb the ladder and see if my interest sustained and partly because I did not have enough dough to :)
So next came the acclaimed Panasonic FZ-35. This gave me some of my most memorable pictures.
Time flew, after about 5,000 clicks with the Panny FZ-35, it was again time to move on.
The best thing happening in the Nikon world at that time was Nikon D7000 DSLR.
So that is what I am with right now.
Will leave you with a few of my pics now.

Birding at Ameenpur lake & Kotpally reservoir |
This was my third outing with the birding group that I formed with a few people at my housing complex.
Beautiful setting at the Kotpally reservoir, but the cake was taken by the Ameenpur lake. Such beautiful birds. Camera : Nikon D7000 Date : 05-Jul-2014 Time : 530 AM Place : Ameenpur Lake & Kotpally reservoir, Hyderabad. Click the thumbnail on the left to visit the gallery. |
Indian rock python - Bharatpur |
Shot at Bharatpur bird sanctuary, I think this is the most kick-ass wildlife video that I shot.
This rock python was sun bathing with it's mouth wide open. The moment it sensed me, it ran for it's underground home. I had to run about 20 feet in the next two seconds to reach a comfortable point about 3 feet from his home & the rest is history. Please click on the video on the left to watch it. |
Birding at Osman Sagar, Hyderabad |
This was my second outing with the birding group that I formed with a few people at my housing complex.
This was by the lake & the birds were very far away. I felt that the 300mm did not do justice to the beautiful birds :( Camera : Nikon D7000 Date : 20-Jun-2014 Time : 6 AM Place : Osman Sagar, Hyderabad. Click the thumbnail on the left to visit the gallery. |
Birding at Botanical gardens, Hyderabad |
All my earlier photo expeditions were solitary.
Not this time. This was the simplest & closest location to home. We formed a small photo group having common interests in birding. The results were magnificent. Last time that I went to the same location, I could not spot half as many as this time. While birding, the golden rule is : The more the eyes - the better.

Concert Photographs - Ticket to Bollywood |
Moscow, generally isn't a place really for the home-bred Indians.
But this event in Moscow did really bring me alive & how! On a chilly winter evening, in a far away place from home.. The heart longed for some good ol' desi kick! Called 'Ticket to Bollywood', it was a mashup of Bollywood songs coupled with very well done dances. It was one wonderful evening! Click the thumbnail on the left to view the gallery. |
Barbecue at Malahovka, Russia |
Pictures from a nice, relaxed weekend sojourn to a small Russian region near Moscow called Malahovka.
Nothing much to do, I bicycled a few kilometres to remind myself of my school days. Barbecued and had good grilled food. Then met a couple of cats who were more than willing to make my day. Click the thumbnail on the left to view the gallery. |

Birds, butterflies & nature
 |
Ventured out alone to Botanical gardens, Kondapur, Hyderabad.
It was serene and peaceful. Managed to capture a few shots of nature. Got to see green bee eater in various moods. Just while making the exit, got close to a squirrel who did not mind being clicked. Unfortunately, it was behind a lot of grass and I could not manage many good shots. Camera : Nikon D7000 Date : 22-Oct-2011 Time : 6 AM Place : Botanical gardens, Kondapur Hyderabad.

Prosumer/Bridge camera photography
 |
My photography with the Panasonic FZ-35.
This turned out to be one amazing camera! Most of my 'more than decent' pictures were captured with this. I would recommend anyone pursuing photography to lay their hands on this one, to test the waters. If you still feel like swimming, this is the field for you! :) Click the Panasonic FZ-35 thumbnail on the left to visit the gallery. Thumbnail courtesy : Panasonic Corp. |
