Jayciana Rally ’10

These are shots from the recently held Jayciana Rally at SJCE, Mysore. Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay long enough to catch the car rally. Here are a few shots of the bikers in action!

Yet another hibiscus shot, though this is  something that’s a little different!

For today’s post, I wanted something different. I just tried out something, and was surprised to find out that B&W actually works very well with flower pictures!

Elegance..

Starting today, I will be posting a series of shots of Hibiscus flowers, shot at home.

Also have to mention, I was absolutely blown away by the quality of pictures I got here, with my Canon 55-250 EF-S lens! I’ve also published a 100% crop from the picture, just for an idea of the quality of images this lens has been giving me.

In Flight…

Today’s shot is of a Painted Stork in flight, with some nest-building material in its beak. This was an accidental shot, so the composition isn’t that great, but I just HAD to put it out here!
