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!

  • Squirrel<br /> 14 May 2010<br /> Best seen in XLarge size - <br /> I am impressed with 70-200 f2.8 Nikkor lens, this is cropped more than half from the original image!<br /> <br /> Shot at Tea Trails, Sri Lanka<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Coppersmith<br /> 13 May 2010<br /> Best seen in XLarge size<br /> Shot at Tea Trails, Sri Lanka<br /> <br /> The Coppersmith Barbet, Crimson-breasted Barbet or Coppersmith (Megalaima haemacephala), is a bird with crimson forehead and throat which is best known for its metronomic call that has been likened to a coppersmith striking metal with a hammer. It is a resident found in South Asia and parts of Southeast Asia. Like other barbets, they chisel out a hole inside a tree to build their nest. They are mainly fruit eating but will take insects.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppersmith_Barbet">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppersmith_Barbet</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Gasoline!<br /> 12 May 2010<br /> [This shot was selected today for PHOTO STORY section at Leica Int'l! <br /> <br /> <a href="http://gallery.lfi-online.de/gallery/index.php?APAIS&page=1">http://gallery.lfi-online.de/gallery/index.php?APAIS&page=1</a> ]<br /> <br /> This was shot at Koh Samui island in Thailand. Many tourists hire motorcycles to go around as taxis are very expensive. Regular gas stations (petrol pumps) are available on a few big roads so locals offer gasoline (petrol) in this make-shift way! The barrel at the bottom holds the petrol and the required quantity is pumped up by hand to the plastic bottle type container from where it's loaded on to the motorcycles.<br /> <br /> <br /> more pics in gallery :<br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Thailand/Koh-Samui/11360643_VDEye#808441520_TpCYw">http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Thailand/Koh-Samui/11360643_VDEye#808441520_TpCYw</a><br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Thailand!<br /> 11 May 2010<br /> Now you know why it's called Thigh land! :-> <br /> <br /> I was a bit wary walking along the road with this 'BIG' camera with flash so just fired off a few shots.<br /> Bangkok is not only colorful in daytime but also after sunset when the city takes on a different light and comes to life to offer amusement 24-hours around the clock. Probably the most popular nightlife spot in the city, the Patpong area is full of a-go-go bars and beer bars beside other offerings... <br /> <br /> more pics in gallery :<br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Thailand/Bangkok/10450793_324dk#730660519_a5HSk">http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Thailand/Bangkok/10450793_324dk#730660519_a5HSk</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Parinirvana Buddha at Gal Vihar, Polonnaruwa. <br /> 10 may 2010 Best seen in XLarge size. <br /> <br /> This was shot under difficult situation: there was a drizzle and I was holding an umbrella in one hand and the camera in the other. It also didn't help that to go near we had to remove footwear! At the time of shooting I didn't have a pano in mind, just cover the full statue in 4-5 shots. It was only while processing did I realise that a pano was possible! <br /> <br /> The great reclining image of the Buddha entering nirvana is 14m long. A huge but supremely graceful figure is carved in a serene posture. The face, delicately flecked with variations in the natural colour of the rock is especially beautiful. The unknown sculptor has carved the great statue with such tenderness even the bolster like pillow carry a subtle depression under the head & sun-wheel symbol on the pillow end. Buddha's parnirvana (final extinction, rather than death) is indicated in part, by means of the higher foot which is slightly withdrawn: the pain caused by the last breath. This Buddha statue is of such beauty that it inspired hundreds of years of Sinhalese art, but was never matched. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a><br /> <a href="http://www.mysrilankaholidays.com/gal-vihara.html">http://www.mysrilankaholidays.com/gal-vihara.html</a>
  • Monkey<br /> 09 May 2010<br /> Best seen in large size.<br /> During a backwater ride on Madu river in Sri Lanka we came across a local boatmen with this little fellow! We stopped and he passed him to me... was quite a handful! <br /> <br /> Don't know which species he belongs to, does anyone know? <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Indian giant squirrel (Ratufa indica) 2<br /> 08 May 2010<br /> <br /> Since many of you showed interest in yesterday's shot of the squirrel I am putting up another shot of a Buddhist monk feeding a squirrel in Sri Lanka. <br /> <br /> Also called the Malabar giant squirr <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Giant_Squirrel">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Giant_Squirrel</a><br /> It has a conspicuous two-toned (and sometimes three-toned) color scheme. The colors involved can be creamy-beige, buff, tan, rust, brown, or even a dark seal brown. The underparts and the front legs are usually cream colored, the head can be brown or beige, however there is a distinctive white spot between the ears. Adult head and body length varies between 14–16 in (36–41 cm) and the tail length is approximately 2 ft (0.61 m). Adult weight - 2 kg (4.41 lb).<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Indian giant squirrel (Ratufa indica)<br /> 07 May 2010<br /> <br /> Shot at Samui Aquarium & Tiger Zoo at Koh Samui, Thailand.

  • Buddha<br /> 06 May 2010<br /> This is one more shot of reclining Buddha at Wat (temple) Pho in Bangkok. <br /> I feel this gives the correct 'feel' of the idol's length. <br /> <br /> The statue of reclining Buddha is forty-six metres long and fifteen metres high, decorated with gold plating on his body and mother of pearl on his eyes and the soles of his feet. The latter display 108 auspicious scenes in Chinese and Indian styles.<br /> <br /> Wat Pho is the largest and oldest wat in Bangkok and is home to more than 1,000 Buddha images, more than any other temple in the country.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wat_Pho">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wat_Pho</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.sacred-destinations.com/thailand/bangkok-wat-pho">http://www.sacred-destinations.com/thailand/bangkok-wat-pho</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Monitor Lizard<br /> 05 May 2010<br /> Best seen in XLARGE size. <br /> <br /> While traveling in Sri Lanka our driver stopped to show us this lizard near a stream next to the road. There were quite a few of them and the locals would offer them meat giving a photo opportunity to tourists! This fellow was about 15-18" from my feet! <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Wat Suthat Thepwararam <br /> 04 May 2010<br /> <br /> This was one of the temples I visited in Bangkok. The walls & ceiling had beautiful paintings and Buddha's idol was TALL! There was a big difference in the light in the ceiling portion and the floor so have had to 'lighten' the top a bit. Else no PP. <br /> <br /> Wat Suthat Thepwararam was built during the first three reigns of the Chakri Dynasty and took 40 years to complete (1807-1847). It is one of the four royal wats of the first class (Ratcha-Voramaha-Vihan) in Bangkok, and is directly patronized by the ruling monarch.<br /> <br /> More pics at <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Thailand/Bangkok-temples/10475144_HvXBp#724983333_kpeen">http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Thailand/Bangkok-temples/10475144_HvXBp#724983333_kpeen</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • High rise<br /> 03 May 2010<br /> <br /> View from Zafar-Farhana's house in Bangkok, Thailand.

  • A decorative plaque for a road name.<br /> 27 April 2010<br /> <br /> This shows the post (pillar) I used for yesterday's SP. Beside road names we also have street corner (junction) names! On payment of a fee, the local municipality puts up the name of a person on such a fancy plaque. <br /> Shot yesterday (25th April) during a 'photo-walk' in the morning.
