Canon 5D & Nikon D90...

You most probably heard all the hype about the two new cameras in town. I myself could not help but see if the Nikon D90 and the Canon 5D actually live up to expectations. What makes these two cameras stand out from the lot? Well, not only do these two bad boys have loads of advanced features, but are also armed with an HD movie feature. You heard me right, movie feature on DSLR cameras.
Now I must admit, that is just down right radical. I mean not only are you capable of taking good pictures, but now also have the ability to take some pretty rad movie footage. So after digging around I managed to come up with these two incredible videos.
This video was taken from the Canon 5D. Plus, believe it or not, there was not post-movie editing. This full footage is raw, except for the standard nip and tuck. Incredible.



This next video was shot from the Nikon D90. Not as amazing as the previous footage, but its the best I could find from the 440 videos. You might need to be a tad patient with this one, since it was embedded from Vimeo.

And there you have it, two amazing videos from two amazing cameras.

Diwali lamps...

I was walking down the stairs when I spotted these tiny lamps. So I quickly ran back up to my apartment, grabbed my camera and took a couple of pics. I reckon this was the best one out of them all. Its a Hindu tradition to set these little lamps all over the place during the Diwali festival.

p.s. - Thanks to all those who took the time to make a comment on my previous posts.

Sunday Fair...

These are some of the portraits I caputred during a Sunday fair. Mind you it was a daunting task trying to capture an image while having hundreds of people stampeding around you. Nontheless I reckon I did an admirable job at it.

Macro...

I had a go at macro photography. Taking a pic of tiny bugs was out of the question, since the slightest movement can set them off into a flying frenzy. So I resolved to take a pic of drops of water on a leaf.

Down by the river...

Recently I visited my grandparents in the village. It was a tranquiling experience. Exactly what was needed to get away from the stress of the city life. I took these two pics while I was down by the river side. Bangalore is a landlocked city, so getting a view of the large water body was a real breath of fresh air.

Photomovies...

I was just passing my time surfing youtube for photography videos, when I stumbled over this amazing channel. It is called Photomovies. Just a couple of photographers who take pictures of women (Korean women, to be exact) using nothing but their cameras, mean lenses and the available light. Definitely a recomendation to those photographer buffs out there, check it out at:

Just jump...

I wanted to have a go at taking a pic. while someone was in mid air. The two people in the photos is my sister Saumitra and I.

Chase does it again...

Another amazing video by Chase Jarvis and his work on high speed photography.

Saudi Structures...

Since photography is banned in Saudi, all three of these pics were taken from the car. The first pic. is a mosque by the sea side. The second, is a newly constrcuted buidling (most probably going to be rented off as office space). The last pic. is what seems to be a light house, still under construction.

Bird House...

Out in the compound taking pics, when I came across some one backyard with this little three house hanging off a tree.

Old lady...

I managed to capture this photo on the way to college. She sells garlands right next to a temple.

The fruit seller...

Just one of the old photos I found while browsing through my archives. I must say, I enjoy the way the man poses for the photo.

Transit wait...

During my four hour wait for my flight to Saudi, I managed to take a couple of decent photos.
