Your Bio
Welcome to my photo galleries!
Spend some time here, browse through different places and events. Some are recent while others are from the past bringing back memories.
A special request:
If you like a picture, take your mouse on the right hand corner of it and a small window will pop-up with a green thumbs-up sign. Click on it and it will be registered as a 'Popular Photo'. Thanks!
I will be happy to hear your comments which can be put up for a gallery or a particular photo.
The photographs are taken on Nikon Digital SLR cameras (currently with D300 & earlier with D200 & D100 and various Sony models before that!). Old pictures are shot on various Nikon SLRs and either the negatives or photos are scanned. All the pano (panoramic) images are single frames and shot on Hasselblad XPan, a dual-format 35mm film camera offering 24x35 and 24x65 (panorama) sizes so one gets 21 frames in a 36 exposure film. These pictures are best viewed at Original size.
ALL photos are Copyright and may not be used in any form without prior permission.
NOSTALGIA galleries: If anyone has more info about the pictures please write to me.

![Dual rainbows - Kanatal
[Shot on Hasselblad XPan, a dual-format 35mm film camera also offering 24x65 (panorama) size. Best viewed at Original size.]
After a wet and cold day the Sun presented us with TWO rainbows for a few minutes!
Kanatal 35 kms from Mussoorie, is perched at an altitude of over 8,500 feet offering a spectacular view of the snow-clad Garhwal Himalayas and lush green forests.
Mussoorie is located in the Garhwal hills in North India. Due to its immense natural beauty, Mussoorie is known as the queen of hill stations.

![Sunrise
Taj Rebak Island Resort, Langkawi, Malaysia.
I saw this awesome scene from our room window - it was warm and HUMID outside (must be over 75). I rushed to the verandah only to find the cameras get wet and lenses fogged up. Took a couple of shots on Nikon and went out towards the beach. Tried several shots and this is from 35mm film, scanned and then PP - contrast & light.
The other picture from Nikon can be seen at:

![Rafting on Ganges (154 28 Sept)
Check the difference in the waters... tranquil in foreground and frothy white at the beginning of the rapids.
[Thanks to Lady K for spotting this in the original gallery.]
To answer Lady K's comment: Despite warnings from the rafting team I took my D200 Hassleblad XPan with one lens each; wrapped in towels in a waterproof duffel bag. Taking pictures was difficult as we were totally drenched and holding the cameras in wet hands! Not to mention the manual focusing of the XPan!
