  • 310 - Mar 27<br /> Roll it on! <br /> <br /> D300 17-55mm f7.1 1/250<br /> <br /> OK, I am going to leave it to you to guess what this is! <br /> <br /> <br /> Date: 31 March<br /> <br /> THE ANSWER!!<br /> <br /> Thanks to all who attempted a guess at what this is. Many of you thought it was some type of a sweet and that's close but not enough! :-) <br /> <br /> Alistair gets full marks as he thought: "A big ice cream thing? Looks tasty :p" <br /> JSL (Jayshree) was bang on with: "Roller ice cream???? Never see a striped one before though!!!!" but then she's had it before! In fact it was she who introduced me to it a few years back!<br /> <br /> Here's how it's made.<br /> <br /> The barrel is stuffed with ice, I know that's a lot of ice! Then fresh sweetened milk is slowly poured over it which gets frozen over the barrel. Most of the time the flavours (varieties) offered are fresh fruit type but also include the regular vanilla & chocolate. Freshly cut fruit is then placed (pushed) against the barrel while it's being rotated. The fruit gets stuck to the frozen milk and that's how you get the stripes. The fruit depends on the season but the common ones are mango, chikoo, strawberry, orange etc. When a person selects the flavour(s), a knife is kept against the barrel while it is rotating and thin slivers of ice cream come off which are collected in a plate. Voila! You have fresh home-made ice cream!!<br /> <br /> more Mehendi pics:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7495562_7yorg/1/483832310_py3Di">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7495562_7yorg/1/483832310_py3Di</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 311 - Mar 28<br /> Marble Fountain <br /> <br /> D300 ISO 1250 - f4.5 1/8 sec <br /> <br /> At Jaipur wedding, one function was a dance recital followed by dinner & dance held at Raj Palace. Unfortunately we reached few minutes before the event and I did not have much time to 'explore & shoot' the place. This beautiful marble fountain was near the entrance. It was a difficult situation as people were arriving in groups and the light was very low & I wasn't sure if flash was allowed or not. I shot it hand-held, almost on-the-run and there is no PP except for a crop and light & colour adjustments. <br /> <br /> Raj Palace is the oldest 'haveli' in Jaipur, now converted into a beautiful and Grand heritage hotel. It was chosen as "World's Leading heritage hotel" by The World Travel awards 2007. <br /> <br /> DO have a look at their site, at the rooms / suites AND the prices. Am not mentioning them here cause you wouldn't believe me! :) <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.rajpalace.com/hotel-raj-palace.html">http://www.rajpalace.com/hotel-raj-palace.html</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 312 - Mar 29<br /> To the pool <br /> <br /> D300 ISO 1000 - f4.5 1/40 sec <br /> <br /> <br /> At Raj Palace: The steps lead to a sort of indoor swimming pool. There were beautiful statues and other pieces. Once again, it was a difficult shot with the BRIGHT spotlight on the lawn and dark interiors! I wanted the ambient light atmosphere so did not use a flash and shot it hand held at high ISO.<br /> <br /> Raj Palace is the oldest 'haveli' in Jaipur, now converted into a beautiful and Grand heritage hotel.

  • 313 - Mar 30<br /> Entrance <br /> <br /> D300 ISO 1000 - f4.5 1/25 sec<br /> <br /> At Raj Palace, Jaipur. I think this was an entrance to a temple. Another difficult situation to shoot. There were bright spot lights on the two figures, washing out most of the details. Some of the areas were in shadows and I had to bring out the details manually. <br /> <br /> One more pic can be seen at : <br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7492287_YWSks/1/498800711_zsNZr/Large">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7492287_YWSks/1/498800711_zsNZr/Large</a><br /> <br /> <br /> DO have a look at their site, at the rooms / suites AND the prices.

  • 315 - Apr 02<br /> Because I am <br /> D300 ISO 800 f5.6 1/13<br /> <br /> Daughter Vinati's old school, SPJ Sadhana School for handicapped children, held a fashion show in March this year and had invited me to cover the event. Famous designer-artist Hemant Trivedi worked with the mentally challenged children and created a spectacular show - third such show in recent years. The Arts dept. children worked on fabrics with painting, embroidery, embellishments. The fabrics were used to make dresses for the top models of the city who walked the ramp that day. It was not just models, in certain segments children from the school also accompanied the models. They were greeted with thunderous applause, not because they were 'special' children but because they deserved it - for their creativity & for walking the ramp so professionally. <br /> <br /> This was shot just before the show started and flash was not used to maintain the mood.<br /> <br /> <br /> more shots at <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7780533_EjuBf/1/503485416_xjU2D">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7780533_EjuBf/1/503485416_xjU2D</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>

  • 320 - Apr 07<br /> FAB models! <br /> <br /> D300 ISO 800 f8 1/200<br /> <br /> Shot at SPJ Sadhana School's fashion show "Because I am" .<br /> <br /> The last few shots showed the professional models at the fashion show. Here we have a professional model accompanied by two handicapped children. The theme was beach wear and they all stole our hearts. The youngest was a DOLL and she decided to stop and wave at the audience when the other two went ahead! When she eventually came forward, the applause was deafening. :)<br /> <br /> The painting on the towels and the beads necklaces & armbands were done by the handicapped children.<br /> <br /> more shots at <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7780533_EjuBf/1/503485416_xjU2D">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7780533_EjuBf/1/503485416_xjU2D</a><br /> <br /> =========== NOTE =========<br /> Friends, am sure you'll excuse my lack of comments last few days. Son Jay's wedding is tomorrow and have been busy with the arrangements, guests and ceremonies. I doubt if I'll have the time to post a picture tomorrow so we'll (try to) catch up on Friday. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>

  • 322 - Apr-09<br /> Flower curtains <br /> <br /> D300 17-55mm ISO 400 f9 1/200<br /> <br /> At the mehendi function in Jaipur, they had made 'curtain dividers' from Marigold flowers!<br /> What I liked here was the shadows cast by the 'noon sun. <br /> <br /> more Mehendi pics:<br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7495562_7yorg/1/483832310_py3Di">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7495562_7yorg/1/483832310_py3Di</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>

The wedding went off very well and things should - hopefully - get back to normal now! I am not sure how much time I will be able to spare to go through the Dailies as have a lot of loose ends to take care of and am also scheduled to go for a family wedding to Kerala at the end of the week! <br /> <br /> In India, for wedding photographers give the option of fiinshed prints or take just the shooting charges and hand over the raw files. I have opted for the files and besides his work also have to go through nephew Punit's shots - well over a 1000! <br /> In addition there were Suchit (a close friend and a member of Smugmug), and a couple of other friends taking pictures and I hope to put up the galleries - one by one - as soon as possible. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 324 - <br /> Audi <br /> D200 ISO 400 f3.5 1/40<br /> <br /> 6:30 AM 9th April 2009 and the car is waiting for the groom (Jay) to proceed to the bride's place. <br /> The car was decorated with marigold & white flowers. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 325 - <br /> Jay with Mom & Dad <br /> D300 ISO 400 f4 1/60<br /> <br /> This is obviously not taken by me but am sharing it with all the friends here. It was shot by my (grand) nephew Punit just before we proceeded to the wedding venue in the morning. <br /> <br /> Swarup is wearing a silk saree and we are wearing colourful Kurtas. Jay is wearing a silk dhoti and I am wearing a churidar. We have 'khes' draped around our necks. <br /> more info on Kurta: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurta">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurta</a><br /> <br /> The flying kurtas reminds one of Marilyn Monroe flying skirt scene!! :)<br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 326 - <br /> WELCOME home hug! <br /> D300 ISO 400 f5 1/160<br /> <br /> Another shot not by me. This was also shot by Punit when we returned home after the wedding ceremony. Lakshmi had just got out from the car and was welcomed with a hug. <br /> <br /> I think Punit has captured the emotions perfectly.... <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
