One of the many babas you see on the ghats of Kashi:

I took more than a thousand pictures in Benares. The old city of Benares (aka Kashi and officially, Varanasi) is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth and offers too many opportunities to shoot, too many stories to capture.

This was the first picture I clicked when I reached Benares. I was tempted to crop the frame to comply with the rule of thirds but somehow decided against it. Works, I guess.

It's been a slow patch on pykih for a while, mainly because I lost my camera, again! The good part is, that I have upgraded to a DSLR now, the Canon Rebel T2i (EOS 550D in most markets). Here's the first one from the new cam. More to follow...

A lot has changed since I last posted. First, Dad isn't around anymore. And then, everything that follows. That explains such a long gap to begin with. But I'm back with the camera once again and this one is for him. Love you, Dad!

First, I thought I'd edit out the little polen grain blocking the white stem.
Then, I thought, why?

This marks the beginning of my series on Hyderabad; a city I completely fell in love with as I visited it for the first time this weekend.

One of the three sets of candid portraits of her that I came back with, on a beach trip earlier this year. If you guys like this one, will upload the other two sets soon.

Nepali ho!

More from Nepal. That was a very good weekend for photography!

This one is dedicated to my best buddy at SP Jain and an extremely talented guitarist, Aniruddha Kundu. Had clicked it last year in Ladakh and later, framed and presented it to him on his birthday.

noreply@blogger.com (Mihir) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:15:00 +0000

More from the streets of Nepal. And no cropping here... this picture was composed this way; I didn't want his face in.

Incense

noreply@blogger.com (Mihir) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 11:25:00 +0000

Another one from Nepal...
...and I would like to add that I am allergic to smoke. Especially to the smoke from incense sticks. So I would like to claim some extra points for patiently capturing this one, thank you.

Damn interesting guy, this one... met him on my trip to Nepal last weekend. He's from Germany, now spending his time just travelling in India.

Deep Purple

noreply@blogger.com (Mihir) — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 09:36:00 +0000

Yet another image from Kasauli. Yes, my camera is inside the flower. Thankfully, the flower was naturally lit up from behind, making this shot possible.

I think this one makes a good wallpaper, so this picture is available sans-borders and pre-cropped to match desktop resolutions.

noreply@blogger.com (Mihir) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 05:45:00 +0000

From my trip to Kasauli and Shimla yesterday. Had just a moment to click this one, a second between the bird landing on the cliff and leaving into the valley.

I wish I could've got the bird sharper. But I like it anyway.

Bees are some of my favourite things...

noreply@blogger.com (Mihir) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 07:57:00 +0000

Yet another picture with the 'beauty and the beast' theme. Somehow I'm finding a lot of these recently.

Or in general, somehow I'm doing a lot of macro photography recently.

By the way, please welcome my brand new camera, the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS.
Was considering moving to a DSLR, but I figured it will never give me the versatility that my S5 gave me.

One of the last few post-worth shots taken from my Canon S5 IS...
Had seen something similar before and always wanted to take such a shot. Finally got it in Kolkata.
