Singapore

I guess many of you would have visited Singapore. I had been to Singapore as part of my work many times. But I had an opportunity to visit Singapore along with family in June 2008. This was the first time I travelled to Singapore with my full gear Pentax K10D, Sigme 50-500, Pentax 16-45, Pentax 50mm & tripod and dedicated all of three days to sightseeing and photography. I must thank my Son and Daughter for lugging around my Lowepro bag all over Singapore. More...

Maidenahalli

First let us start with spelling. One of the reasons I had tough time finding this on the India map is because of the spelling. Yahoo spells it "Mydanahalli", Wikipedia "Maidenahalli" and so on. Despite all spelling differences this is one obscure place between Tumkur and Hindupur that you will find it difficult to reach unless you had gone there earlier. But it is worth the trouble of seeking this place out.

Kabini

This is my second trip to Kabini and my first trip with my Canon 450D. I was very happy with Canon's performance even in low light conditions. I also got a chance to shoot this Leopard, though from a distance. I  could not make much of a picture on account of the fact that I did not carry a tripod on that trip. The highlight of the trip was Serpent Eagle. See it the way I look at them. More...

Shenzhen and Hong Kong

This was my first trip to China. It was very interesting to manage day-to-day living in a place where me and the Chinese try to communicate in two languages unknown to each other. After that I land in Hong Kong, just 70 KMs away and it is an exact opposite of Shenzhen, even though both the places are occupied by Chinese. Read to find my first experience with CHina (Shenzhen) and Hong Kong. More...
