Daily Photos 2nd year

At the Daily Gallery one picture, preferably taken that day; is shared with others. While that is difficult to follow (shooting everyday) I have been putting up a picture everyday and this is my SECOND year. It's been an enjoyable time viewing pictures of other members and learning new techniques and customs from different places. I think this is the best way to travel to places while sitting at home, and also making friends on the way! It has been a pleasure sharing my pictures and I thank all of you for taking the time to comment on my pictures. Earlier galleries: First year - Critiques welcome!

  • Statue (Pic 196 2nd year)<br /> <br /> On a morning walk at Mahabaleshwar spotted this beautiful statue in the courtyard outside a cemetery. It had not opened yet so could not go closer for different angles / details. <br /> <br /> Best seen in XLarge size. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Fresh! (Pic 195 2nd year)<br /> <br /> This person was selling fresh carrots & radish in the market at Mahabaleshwar. It was a difficult shot as he would walk a few steps, stop & look for customers and again move on. In addition there was a continuous flow of people walking by... <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>

  • Roses (Pic 192 2nd year)<br /> <br /> Shot with 60mm Nikkor macro in January at Mahabaleshwar. <br /> No PP except for little light adjustment. <br /> <br /> EDIT NOTE: <br /> Mom4squirrels: Someone wanted to sell the Nikkor 60mm so I had taken it to try it out. I had also tried my cousin's 105 mm which is a top-class lens but rather expensive. Then Bill Pador suggested Tamron 90mm f2.8 which was half the price of 105! I bought that and am more than satisfied with that, thanks Bill! :) On a personal level, I have always been happy with 90-105 range for close-ups. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Wired up (Pic 191 2nd year)<br /> <br /> Shot by son Jay with D700, 24-85 f2.8 -4 lens at ISO 2500 f3.5 & 1/100 sec<br /> <br /> The original colour version is at <br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/8784359_YK9br/1/603016589_JwGSC">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/8784359_YK9br/1/603016589_JwGSC</a><br /> <br /> <br /> sea link gallery:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/8784359_YK9br/1/603016589_JwGSC">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/8784359_YK9br/1/603016589_JwGSC</a><br /> <br /> <br /> This is the long cable-stayed bridge in the Bandra-Worli sea link.

  • Cave entrance (Pic 190 2nd year)<br /> <br /> Shot from the cave. Entrance to one of the five caves of Dambulla rock temple. The temple is composed of five caves, which have been converted into shrine rooms. The caves, built at the base of a 150m high rock during the Anuradhapura (1st Century BC to 993 AD) and Polonnaruwa times (1073 to 1250), are by far the most impressive of the many cave temples found in Sri Lanka. The largest cave measures about 52m from east to west, and 23m from the entrance to the back, this spectacular cave is 7m tall at its highest point. Hindu deities are also represented here, as are the kings Valgamba and Nissankamalla, and Ananda - the Buddha's most devoted disciple.<br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dambulla_cave_temple">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dambulla_cave_temple</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Corridor (Pic 189 2nd year)<br /> <br /> This is the corridor that leads to the five caves of Dambulla rock temple. <br /> <br /> The rock towers 160 m over the surrounding plains.There are more than 80 documented caves in the surrounding area. Major attractions are spread over 5 caves, which contain statues and paintings related to Lord Buddha and his life. There are total of 153 Buddha statues, 3 statues of Sri Lankan kings and 4 statues of gods and goddesses. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dambulla_cave_temple">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dambulla_cave_temple</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Dambulla rock temple (Pic 188 2nd year)<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> The complex of five caves with over 2000 sq. metres of painted walls and ceilings, is the largest area of paintings found in the world. It contains over 150 images of the Buddha of which the largest is the colossal figure of the Buddha carved out of rock and spanning 14 metres.Hindu statues are believed to be of the 12 century AD and the latest paintings are of the late 18-century.<br /> <br /> Dambulla is a small town located at a distance of 19 km from Sigriya on the Sigriya-Kandy road. Dambulla has over 80 caves in the surrounding and some of them have been used by the monks as meditation locations. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Monkey with baby (Pic 187 2nd year)<br /> D300 17-55 2.8 at ISO400 f9 1/100<br /> <br /> There were quite a few monkeys at Dambulla (Sri Lanka) rock temple. This mother was eating from a mango peel. In between she would feed the baby too. It's always a risk to go close to any animal who has a younger one nearby so I had to keep a bit of a distance and grab a few shots in a rush. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Buddha statue (Pic 186 2nd year)<br /> D300 17-55 2.8 at ISO400 f8 1/500<br /> <br /> This statue is at Golden temple, Dambulla, Sri Lanka and so TALL it can be seen from miles. The statue is on the top of the temple building. To get an idea, check yesterday's shot. <br /> <br /> <br /> Dambulla is a small town located at a distance of 19 km from Sigriya on the Sigriya-Kandy road. This temple is at the base of the hill that has Dambulla Rock Temple. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Golden temple, Dambulla, Sri Lanka. (Pic 185 2nd year)<br /> <br /> Dambulla is a small town located at a distance of 19 km from Sigriya on the Sigriya-Kandy road. This temple is at the base of the hill that has Dambulla Rock Temple. <br /> <br /> That's Swarup & myself at the base. <br /> <br /> Shot by my friend when we visited Sri Lanka last year but processed recently! <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Web (Pic 184 2nd year)<br /> <br /> This was shot in my friend's garden last November. It was a difficult shot with the web getting lost against the sky. Best seen in XLarge size. <br /> Will welcome suggestion on this - how it could have been shot / can be processed. <br /> <br /> EDIT 20 July - thanks Fotomom! The web was way high in the trees and out of reach - this was shot with 18-105 lens at 105 - so spraying it with water wasn't possible. We left that afternoon so could not wait for a better light too. :( <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Dahlia <br /> July 18 (039 2nd year)<br /> <br /> Lavanya, you commented yesterday that you love Dahlias and asked to share a pic, so this is for YOU! <br /> <br /> This was shot in December last year with 105 macro at ISO 400 with f6.3 and 1/250<br /> Unfortunately this year cousin's garden does not have many flowers and my tips have also been less. :( There are three more Dahlia shots here: <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/573557461_cCnjt/Large">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/573557461_cCnjt/Large</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/527019649_UxxQw/Large">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/527019649_UxxQw/Large</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/496319893_vPtwi/Large">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/496319893_vPtwi/Large</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Trigger & Trump (Pic 183 2nd year)<br /> <br /> While organising my photos came across this taken in 2007 with D200 & 18-70 lens. The two lovely dogs belong to my cousin and sadly Trigger (with the red eye) passed away last year. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Flowers <br /> July 17 (038 2nd year)<br /> <br /> This was shot in February and processed recently! Shot at cousin's garden with 90mm Tamron & D300. Best seen in XLarge size. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Spooky? <br /> July 16 (037 2nd year)<br /> D700 24-85 2.8-4 ISO 1600 f4 1/15<br /> <br /> Shot late evening on Sunday. This house is in a by lane near my house and the gate was lit by the street light. During processing I lightened the dark parts a bit to show details of the gate and the iron arch but son Jay thought this unprocessed image looked better, a bit spooky! So this is almost (a bit of a crop) SOOC. I may add that in real life the building is not so sinister looking! :-) <br /> <br /> comments - reactions welcome! <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Darshan <br /> July 15 (035 2nd year)<br /> D700 70-200 2.8 lens, ISO 3200 f2.8 1/40 (hand held )<br /> <br /> Yesterday (July 14th) Mumbai had heavy rains and my Internet service provider's place had a short circuit and without access I could not upload my image so am taking liberty to post two images today. <br /> <br /> Darshan is also interested in photography and had dropped in on Sunday to show his new Canon and lenses. While showing him my new toy (D700) I shot this in available room light with my tele zoom. The inset shows the full frame. Slight colour correction was required because of the warm light, other than that no PP. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Flower <br /> (035 2nd year)<br /> <br /> Shot in February, don't know the name of the flower. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Bonding <br /> (034 2nd year)<br /> D700 ISO 1600 24-85 2.8-4 lens f4 1/60<br /> <br /> My Sunday shot - noticed this family on a pavement round the corner. You may wonder at the high ISO... I tried a couple of shots without the flash but the light was really poor and created a slight blur as they were disturbed by a few drops of rain which you can see on the left. I popped up the flash and hurriedly took the shot as did not want to risk getting the camera wet and in the rush did not realise the high ISO. Happily the rain did not come down heavy and I managed to reach home safely. Did not have an umbrella, something you don't do in the monsoon here! <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
