My first photography classes

SMS'd chandra (an avid photographer and biker) about my new camera and asked him if he would give me lessons on photographing the Lakes of laddakh in low light. He gladly accepted and turned up at HSR Layout in his "Gangster" kind of spacious SUV (Tata safari). That was some seating comfort !!


So we ended up at coffee day with camera gear, talking of photography. Chandra started off with aparture, shutter speed, ISO settings.. a cool 2 hours of his precious time! Thank you dude !




Here are MY FIRST DLSR images after his classes



I tried to focus on the red ball that Gowda is trying to pocket.

The red is not that good but thats my first ones :)

The NEW CLUBHOUSE Building and the swimming pool

Exposure Time = 20 sec

Ok Heres a clearer one with a 10 sec more aperture

Exposure Time = 30 sec
F Number = 7/2 [3.500]

Say hello to my new camera

I was always looking to improve the quality of my photographs since the last himalayan trip. And so i though , hey - a DSLR is the one.

Went to brigade road and they were having a 1-week offer "by the showroom" for a olympus evolt 500 DSLR.

e-500 body, 17.5 - 45 mm, 40-150 mm, 1gb cf-1 card (basically the e-500 dzk package), and tripod for 40k.

Went to Jayesh's shop in chickpet and the same was like 8 k cheaper ;)

So i call up Kam, and DJ Sameer and they suggest me the Cannon 350D or the digital rebel XT.


So it is !!!

Cannon Body, Lens, CPL Filter, UV Filter, Case - 23k INR
Memory card - 2GB EXTREME-III some 3 k

26k in total.

Now let me go and learn some thing about photography ;)

This video give a nice message for product oriented guys (like me) - "Dont make stuff people dont want"!
