Homeward bound

Chilka Lake circa 2007.

The birds go about their business undeterred by the sound of the small motorized launch that we were traveling in.  Looks like one of the birds is following the other home.

Shot with a Fuji FInepix S5700.

Purple passions | Panasonic G1

Another flower from the terrace garden. Its called Queen's Crape-Myrtle and it blooms just before the onset of the monsoons.

Shot with the Panasonic G1 at 45mm (90mm eq), ISO 100, f5.6 and 1/250s.

Thunderclouds

After two sweltering days, the sky turned dark in the evening.  The dark clouds was an ominous sign of a thunderstorm that followed soon enough.

Shot with the Panasonic G1 and the 14-45 vario kit lens.

Sunflowers

Sunflowers in summer.

Shot with the Nikon D300 and the Tamron 70-300 AF. The Tamron 70-300 AF produced an amazingly smooth bokeh at f5.6 and 300mm.
