Daily Photos 4th 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 FOURTH 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 - Second year - Third year - Critiques welcome!

Backgammon seems to be a favourite game in Turkey. Apart from this village, noticed it being played on the by lanes of Istanbul too!

This couple had just got married and they were walking down the street - vehicles are not allowed on smaller streets - and graciously agreed to pose for me! Do check out the pic with him in the traditional cap at

Thanks to everyone who commented on the Sunset pic yesterday.

<span style="color:cyan">ADDED:  </span> Vandana, while I was shooting the "Down the road shots" (24th Nov) was using f10. Suddenly this couple came from the side lane and didn't have time to change any settings and had to use Gaussain blur on the BG. I love the D800 but with the huge MP bank noise also gets magnified!

John, came across 2-3 newlyweds in different places - maybe it was wedding season! -  and except for one they were gracious enough to spare a minute!

<span style="color:cyan">Critiques welcome!  - BEST SEEN IN LARGE SIZE </span>

La Belle Vie, a home-stay, is famous for it's food and sunsets. We reached there a bit late, just when the sun was about to set. To add to that I got an important call just then leaving me with very little time and having to shoot with the phone to my ear, supported by the shoulder while I clicked a few shots!  

I opened the RAW image and saved it as a DNG file with one stop over and under exposures. Then I treated the three files (RAW + 2 DNG) as an HDR shot and came up with this.

The shoeshine boxes in Turkey are distinctive and artistic. The elaborate boxes have brass plating and carvings and some even have murals painted on sides. They are to be found in most towns across the country. 

I have been busy shifting my office last few days as the old one is undergoing repairs and renovation. Things have settled town in this temporary place and will catch up with comments!

<span style="color:cyan">Critiques welcome!

Dear Friends, here's wishing YOU ALL a VERY HAPPY DIWALI!  Diwali (or Deepavali) means festival of lights and is the homecoming of Lord Rama after a 14-year exile in the forest and his victory over Ravana. In the great epic Ramayana, the people of Ayodhya (the capital of his kingdom) welcomed Rama by lighting rows (avali) of lamps (deepa), thus its name. 

Diwali celebrations are often spilled across several days starting with Dhanteras (dhan = wealth; teras = 13).This day falls on the 13th day of the second half of the lunar month. Naraka Chaturdashi falls on the 14th day on which demon Narakasura was killed by Lord Krishna, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Since Diwali symbolises the victory of good over evil, many people burn effigies of Ravana and anything they consider evil, almost an Indian representation of the Guy Fawkes tradition.

This is followed by the day of Lakshmi Puja, one where people wish friends and relatives Happy Diwali. Hindu homes worship Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and Ganesh, the God of auspicious beginnings, and then light lamps all across the streets and homes to welcome prosperity and well-being. The next day is the new year for those Hindus who follow the lunar calendar. Finally the celebrations end with Bhau Beej, a day when brothers and sisters meet to express their love and affection for each other.
