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!

To answer Curious Camel:
The bridegroom is holding her hand. Beetle leaf and nut are put in the hands of the bride and then the groom covers her hand with his, making it a 'union' of two people.

  • Paying his daily respects <br /> (014 2nd year)<br /> <br /> This idol of Lord Ganesha was in the porch of the villa at Pawna. <br /> <br /> EDIT 24 June<br /> The dog is looking at the idol of Ganesha. The orange band is a garland of marigolds. <br /> <br /> A closer shot of the idol shows this better: <br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/8569385_hM9V3/1/564646929_ZxJ6U/Large">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/8569385_hM9V3/1/564646929_ZxJ6U/Large</a><br /> <br /> Another pic of the porch is at <br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/8569385_hM9V3/1/565500295_fR5kA/Large">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/8569385_hM9V3/1/565500295_fR5kA/Large</a><br /> <br /> <br /> EDIT 26 June<br /> Jeff, Lord Ganesha does have head of an Elephant. He is worshiped all over India and you may recall my pictures of the Ganpati Visarjan? <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/5984659_dw7W9/1/373761517_eazy8">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/5984659_dw7W9/1/373761517_eazy8</a><br /> <br /> more info on Lord Ganesha <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Ganesh">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Ganesh</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>

  • Panorama <br /> (011 2nd year)<br /> Best seen in XLarge mode. <br /> <br /> This is my first panorama! Made from 6 frames shot in manual mode. The view of the valley and the lake is from the balcony of the house where we spent the last weekend in Pawna. <br /> <br /> Will appreciate a frank appraisal of it... <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a><br /> <br /> offering the view from the balcony <br /> Best seen in XLarge size.
  • Coexistence... <br /> (010 2nd year)<br /> <br /> At the boat house on Pawana lake there was a section with hares, poultry, peacocks and other birds. Thought this made an interesting shot ...<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Light at the end of the road...<br /> Tunnel at Khandala <br /> (009 2nd year)<br /> <br /> Last weekend we went to a friend's house about a hundred miles from Mumbai. This was shot on way with D300 and 18-105 lens. <br /> <br /> THANKS to all of you for your supportive words on the rude comment made by someone. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Kerala, God's own country <br /> (008 2nd year)<br /> D300 with 18-105 ISO 250 f10 1/400<br /> <br /> I love looking out of the airplane window and take pictures. This was shot when the pilot started the descent to land at Kochi airport. <br /> <br /> ==== Comment ====<br /> I was a bit shocked at a comment left by someone called 'What' for the Indian bride shot and don't know what to make of it. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/563248212_wsAvX/Large">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/563248212_wsAvX/Large</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Beware! <br /> 007 2nd year)<br /> <br /> Yes, that's a dagger she's holding! Another tradition where the bride keeps a dagger to keep the evil spirits away. <br /> No crop or PP <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Groom's arrival <br /> (006 2nd year)<br /> D300 with 18-105mm - no PP except for a bit of crop & colour correction. <br /> <br /> In (most) Indian weddings the groom arrives in a procession with his family and friends to the bride's house or the venue of the wedding. Pre automobile days the groom used to arrive on a horse or an elephant. Even today, many people have horses, elephants or buggies to carry the groom. There is music and dancing in front of the procession which gets louder as they near the venue! <br /> <br /> This is from the wedding in Kerala with the groom atop an elephant with a man sitting behind him holding a red umbrella. The men in white are dressed in a typical Kerala style and the one in the middle is playing a drum. Another person on the right has a different type of a drum while the person in front of him is holding a wind instrument. <br /> <br /> The coloured paper is confetti from a firecracker burst a few seconds before. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Indian bride <br /> (005 2nd year)<br /> <br /> Yet another beautiful Indian bride! Dressed in a typical Indian bridal dress, this is my grand niece who got married in Kerala in April. Despite the hot & humid weather she came out near the pool to let me take a few shots. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Flower <br /> 004 2nd year)<br /> <br /> I have taken so many shots at my cousin's garden in the last 2-3 years that there are still hundreds waiting to be checked! This was shot in 2006 with a D70 and a 18-70 lens. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>

  • Engaged... <br /> (002 2nd year)<br /> D300 18-105 ISO400 f5.6 1/60<br /> <br /> Shot at Romita-Wilson engagement in Kerala. <br /> <br /> ==== EDIT 11 June ====<br /> Christine, yes this was at a formal occasion followed by cocktails and dinner. <br /> More pics:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/8123303_gz7M5/1/530407405_Qmmu2">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/8123303_gz7M5/1/530407405_Qmmu2</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Wedding ceremony <br /> (001 2nd year)<br /> no PP except a bit of light control <br /> <br /> I have been busy with yet another wedding! My friend's daughter got married yesterday and I took some pics on D300 with 18-105 lens. It was good to hold a camera after so many days! But the back did act up a bit later on! :( <br /> <br /> During the ceremony the bride's right foot is "washed " with milk by the mother. You can see the milk under her foot in the silver tray. The design on the leg is from the mehendi applied 2 days ago. The table underneath is silver plated! :) <br /> <br /> more pictures of the wedding at <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/8493350_dLWpV/1/558987051_GJYzP">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/8493350_dLWpV/1/558987051_GJYzP</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> THANK YOU for your encouraging words & wishes on my completion of one year here at the Daily gallery! <br /> <br /> <br /> www.javeri..net
