Wophy NOV 2009 Member of the month

I am glad to share with all of you that I have been chosen as Member of the month November 2009 on the website "WOOPHY".

About Woophy:

My Experience:
I am member on this site from August 9th, 2006& sharing my around 650 images on this site. I must admit here that the encouraging feedback on my images from Woophy members always inspired me to do better work & share immediately my new work on this beautiful site. Sometimes I felt that I get less citiques on this site but for keeping me on ground I have many tricks as follows.

1. The dpchallenge voters are always ready to for giving harsh critiques, giving low votes if image really doesn't deserved it.

2. If on a day after my work got praised & I feel like flying in the sky, I visit the gallery's of masters. It helps for me settling down & balancing the lofty mood.

The image presented in this blog are my most appreciated images on this website.

I will also like take this opportunity for offering my sincere gratitude to all Woophy members for appreciating my work time to time & pushing me harder to do more work!

Paper Abstract Photography

     D ear friends finally I am able to take some time for sharing the behind the scene secrets on paper abstract work with you all. I hope you will enjoy it & ignore the delayed publication of this article. How it all started ?      I love to shoot all subjects which attracts me irrespective of what it is ! I have not yet restricted myself to any specific genre in the photography. I am not a professional photographer & can only utilize my weekends/holidays time for the hobby. Considering my small kid "Manas" which is now around 15 months old I had to restrict my freedom for shooting outdoor on weekends. This focused my attention to family portraits, still life & abstracts. Image 1 : Motion : This shot was taken to convey the feel of motion using still life. During taking this shot f or getting the movements of paper I allowed to move the end of papers with the help of ceiling fan. The the...

The Spirit Of Indian Fair

In Indian city & villages the fair/Mela other than festival & cultural activities are being regularly devised. It mainly contains various adventure sports specially for kids like giant wheel & rides. I visited such fair with my kid & sharing some shots showing the spirit of Indian Mela. Mostly there fairs are being run during vacation of children's like summer vacation, Diwali vacation,new year celebration etc. Mela is a Sanskrit word meaning 'gathering' or 'to meet' or a Fair. It is used in the Indian subcontinent for all sizes of gathering and can be religious, commercial, cultural or sports. In rural traditions melas or village fairs were (and in some cases still are) of great importance. This led to their export around the world by south Asian diaspora communities wishing to bring something of that tradition to their new countries. The purpose of these fairs is to offer an opportunity to enjoy amusement rides like Giant Wheel, fun...
