posting after almost a month...
just to get started again, a pic i'd taken earlier last month.

~the music may stop, yet the strings remain~
haven't learnt to make music out of it yet!
doing what i do best now, clicked away,.

This was clicked right besides the window, afternoon,with direct sunlight filling up the room,to make the lighting perfect.
Used a thermocole sheet for the white background.

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..

Lord Ganesha also known as Ganapati, Vinayaka, and Pillaiyar,
one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon.

Photo clicked in macro mode,without flash,
light source~light bulb right above the miniature idol..
Had tried capturing with light from different angles,being a crystalline object the light glow beneath the idol looked bettter...

All strong emotions fan the flames of creation
~Bill Jay~

Shooting a single flame,i thought it would be simple,

but without a tripod,needed a super steady hand to hold the camera and patience!

So after experimenting a while with candle flames on my Canon Powershot A550,
tried clicking the matchstick flame: manual mode, spot metering, macro shot.
reduced the exposure a little.

EXIF: 1/50 sec ISO-80 f/2.6
