tried clicking the previous picture(below)...in a different light!

am still not sure how better i could have framed this,
but retaining the colored lights at the background and close cropping makes it a little more catchy than the previous click i guess..

road side night shot...on the IT Expressway,Chennai,
turned out fairly well...
Canon Ps A550,exposure:0.6 sec, ISO-80

rem⋅i⋅nis⋅cence...

december 18 today means its supposed to be pic number 72 to be posted...day 72 of 101 days targeted for 101 clicks..!
now stuck up with no.58 yet...had such a block once earlier at no.37...n thn was able to get back on track...! circumstances like this does really serve the purpose of havin started with 101clicks...to keep a passion from being buried away in the pretext of other priorities in daily life...
wasn't even sure if i would be able to keep up...n get to click passionately and creatively and continue to do so for next 101 days..

but this time with more than 2 weeks lagging its time again to think over..

yes.there has been lots of learning and understanding tht has happened so far...

looking back...when me started out..wasn't even happy with the point n shoot camera i had..!a Canon PowerShot A550...used at every outing with frends..jus to click away and fill up the memory card..! n now...i have to confess...tht i grossly underestimated my camera's capbility.. its this psychological thing u know...envious about better camera..more pixels n zoom n technical specifications or whatever..!!!

still not sure how to carry on and catch-up with the clicks...n get to target 101..! a few things me would now consider doing is:

1. Dedicate blog posts to Canon PS A550...and post in detail abt features of the cam..[hav a few clicks using my mobole phne camera in this blog too..tht aprt most of em are A550 clicks]

2. try clicking using all available features and settings, like long shutter night pic - a panorama - landscaspes - n more macros under unusual lightings..etc.,[me have done a lot of macros recently though..]

going on....
