Life in motion

This was from train journey in India Delhi to Bangalore. All the images are taken from moving train. Its really fascinating to travel in train in India. you meet different people and see different places and the landscape will change in a while. Fun journey and can take a lot of pics as well.
This one is one of the old signal tower before we enter the mountains. There is only one way in and one way out and very narrow passage. I used to read stories about this placed and people who operate trains in such places. Life is tough.

Just a view.

Passing a narrow bridge

Lines man giving signal to pass...

This was a cool view. Hope you all enjoy it as much I did making these images.

Lamps at buddhist temple

As I am from Lumbini birth place of lord Buddha, we have many monastery and temples around and you will find these lamps in a large numbers kept together for offerings and prayers. They look absolutely stunning and peaceful.

You can see this amazing site all over Andhra Pradesh, India and other parts of india as well. You will see big stones on top perfectly balanced by one small stone. You can see lots of this kind of amazing site just traveling by train in india.

8 Days in Nepal

Elephant Shower, Purely Natural :)

Here is another one from 8 Days in Nepal. Well I could not stop myself and wanted to share this one as well. I am working on a full project write up from the experience I had in those 8 days and wanted to share the same with all of you. Due to busy schedule of work and not being able to find time to put up my thought and work its being delayed for ever however I think I might finish it up in few more days. I am also thinking to pursuit my passion towards wild life nature and photography yes and that means making this things my work so I can be busy doing thing I love doing. Hope you enjoy this image. This one is elephant shower.

From 8 Days in Nepal

I never got a chance to upload this picture of Narayani the tiger in Chitwan National Park. Her mother was accused to be a man-eater as the villagers told me and her mother and 2 other cubs where killed by the villagers however Narayani was rescued. She still lives in the sanctuary in a enclosed place. As she has lived in captivity in the sanctuary for so long the wild life officials there believe she would not survive in the wild so they continue to keep her there where she is safe from other predators(humans) however se is definitely living a solitary life. You will find her behind the crocodile breeding farm in the heart of the Chitwan National Park with in a enclosure.

Good news is now the locals are working to conserve this rare species and work toward living in harmony. People are learning if we don't act some day we will no longer have these amazing majestic creature among us. 

Lets do our part in saving what is left of the nature and its wonders.

Interesting

Well this is one of the most interesting sticker on the back of a Car(REVA Electric Car). Any one behind this car would definitely be relaxed if they know english :)...

Going Macro

Its really difficult to take a macro shot of Ant which is moving all the time. Using a 70-300MM Macro lens at 300MM it is more challenging to take the shot. Best way to take it would be to focus on a point which is in the travel path of the ant and hit the shutter release as soon as the ant is approaching  the focused point. Well that was the technique I was using.

Back to Nature

To much of Aero India I guess so lets get back to Nature. Well all I can say is you have to patient and things will come to you. I was struggling to get this small birds images, one reason was technology(I was using 200mm lens). I need to be really close to fill the frame and by then the birds would fly away so I waited for them to come to me and I got some really good shots. here is one of Weaver Bird.

Squirrel in action.

More Aero India 2009 images yet to come, will be uploading in next post.
