Hershy > Splatter (Pic 31 2nd year)
Shot by son Jay with D700, 24-85 f2.8-4 lens at ISO 6400 f3.5 & 1/500 sec

While waiting at the tollgate I switched off the wipers and Jay managed to catch this effect. 
No PP except for a bit of a crop. See this in large size to see how D700 has handled the noise at high ISO!

Hershy > Carpenter Bee (052 - Feb 22)
70-200mm 2.8 ISO 400 f8 1/160

Shot at cousin's house in Ahmedabad. I wished to keep a fair distance from it as was not sure how badly it can sting! Shot this with the 70-200mm 2.8 - not a perfect lens for this but think it did the job.

Hershy > Rufous Treepie (Dendrocitta vagabunda)  
They are quite bold and this one came and sat on our Gypsy's (Jeep like vehicle) windshield looking for any food stuff in the car.

Hershy > View from verandah (155 29 Sept)

The verandah outside our room offered a serene view of the mountains, tress and of course, the mighty Ganges.
The waves in the river are from small rapids. 

Negative scanned in Epson scanner - no crop or PP except for light adjustments. 

[This is NOT a PANO but a SINGLE frame, shot on Hasselblad XPan, a dual-format 35mm FILM camera, offering 24x35 & 24x65 (panorama) sizes. Best viewed at Large /Original size.]

Hershy > Fisherman (027 - Jan 28)
D300 17-55mm ISO 200 f9 1/500

In Sri Lanka the fishermen used to sit on this bamboo contraption which looked rather fragile but it seemed to work!

Hershy > Sign (031 - Feb 01)
D300 18-105mm ISO 400 f6.3 1/50

Last month I had gone for a business conference at Orange County in Coorg, South India. Situated at a height of 800m this 300 acre working plantation resort is a beautiful place to unwind from the hustle & bustle of the daily life. 

They had put up such sayings on several trees making the walks more interesting.
