Hershy > Jay with Mom & Dad (104 - 2009) D300 ISO 400 f4 1/60 This is obviously not taken by me but am sharing it with all the friends here. It was shot by my (grand) nephew Punit just before we proceeded to the wedding venue in the morning. Swarup is wearing a silk saree and we are wearing colourful Kurtas. Jay is wearing a silk dhoti and I am wearing a churidar. We have 'khes' draped around our necks. more info on Kurta: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurta The flying kurtas reminds one of Marilyn Monroe flying skirt scene!! :) http://www.javeri.net
Hershy > Makak Monkey at Uluwatu temple (136 - 2009) Bali This was shot during my Bali trip. Tourists are asked to take off sunglasses before entering the premises as the monkeys are known to snatch them off! One lady tourist did not and within minutes this big fellow jumped onto her back, snatched the glasses and ran off! When the guide offered him a banana he threw the glasses down and went on top of this stone pillar to enjoy the 'offerings'!! :) >>>> EDIT 3rd June

Hershy > Dragonfly (171 15th Oct) Shot at my cousin's garden. D300 70-200mm 2.8f (handheld f8 at 1/80s ISO 400) This is 'created' from one image through Flexi Filter The original is at http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/5708489_3Uoij/1/371044563_iZtUj/Large Thanks to John (UK) for his suggestions! Today is a special day, beside it being my BIRTHDAY there is a concert in the evening. No it's not Zubin Mehta or anyone like that but to me and my family, equally if not more important. It's the yearly concert of my daughter's old school for Handicapped Children and she along with some of her batchmates are also taking part in it. After that we are going out for a family dinner. So please excuse me if I don't comment on today's Dailies, I'll try and catch them tomorrow morning (India time). www.javeri.net
Hershy > Leaves (Pic 20 2nd year) D300 Tamron 90mm macro - ISO 400 f8 1/50 Shot in Feb this year but processed now! www.javeri.net
Hershy > Marble Fountain (086 - Mar 28) D300 ISO 1250 - f4.5 1/8 sec At Jaipur wedding, one function was a dance recital followed by dinner & dance held at Raj Palace. Unfortunately we reached few minutes before the event and I did not have much time to 'explore & shoot' the place. This beautiful marble fountain was near the entrance. It was a difficult situation as people were arriving in groups and the light was very low & I wasn't sure if flash was allowed or not. I shot it hand-held, almost on-the-run and there is no PP except for a crop and light & colour adjustments. Raj Palace is the oldest 'haveli' in Jaipur, now converted into a beautiful and Grand heritage hotel. It was chosen as "World's Leading heritage hotel" by The World Travel awards 2007. DO have a look at their site, at the rooms / suites AND the prices. Am not mentioning them here cause you wouldn't believe me! :) http://www.rajpalace.com/hotel-raj-palace.html www.javeri.net
Hershy > Dahlia (078 - Mar 20) Mahabaleshwar Club where we stayed had a garden with many flowers. I was trying out a 60mm macro lens which was good but was second-hand and a bit pricey. I finally settled for a Tamron 90mm f2.8 - thanks to Bill's recommendation! Shot some pictures with it later on and will soon put them up. ==== update on wedding ==== The wedding & the reception are on 9th April. Mehendi & another small function are a day earlier. Cards are on their way ... now arrangements for guests coming from various places, including USA, UK & Germany! Whew! http://www.javeri.net

Hershy > Dambulla rock temple (Pic 42 2nd year) Perched on a hill, the temple was built by king Walagambahu in the 1st century B.C. and is the most impressive of Sri Lanka's cave temples plus a World Heritage Site.
