Lake at Lumbini Park, BKK

I took this from a fast moving boat - I had to use very high ISO setting (1600) hence you see a lot of digital noise. None the less picture taken at 9PM on a moonless dark evening - I was able to capture the color I saw - blue the sky that I did not see is all camera's doing of course.

This picture was taken last year in Krabi using my Canon DSLR with 18-55 mm lens. Krabi has bunch of cliffs and rock formations right on the shores. This was near one of such shores. This colorful rock on the middle of the beach was unreal.

A walk in the park.

Some Pictures - You Just Take!!! for the composition of it that is.  I was hiking down from a light trek I did in Pailini Hills in Southern India - I saw these two rocks among the wildflowers and bushes and reached for the camera. There was a heavy fog - there is nothing you can do to compensate that while taking photos - hence the de-saturated look. None the less pretty happy with the shot.

Why I took this pic? For the color and composition of it.

This is an old photo - at least couple of years old. Taken on my way up to Golden Mont Temple in BKK.What caught my attention were these winding stairs going up the temple that do not reveal the end. For spiritual people - going to a place of worship like this - I am sure looks very metaphorical.  That was the thought process as I took this.

After few trials I feel like I have gotten the gist of the panoramic photography - add in the magic of Photoshop and tadaaa....you have this.

I had gone for a evening walk at a park in Northern Bangkok today. I looked up and saw this and decided to take a shot. Few things were intriguing to me. First is obviously the rainbow color although it does not look like a rainbow. Not sure what causes this. But second strange thing was that as if someone had made a rectangular cut on the cloud with a knife. Equally strange is that the color seem to extend from this cut in the cloud upwards at diagonal as if someone left a stroke of brush full of colors on the canvas.
