I took this snap on 1st Jan this year, which was widely touted as a real “once-in-a-blue-moon” day. This photo was taken from my terrace, with me lying flat on my back. My camera was stretched to the full 12X zoom, and yet I’m not happy with the clarity. Of course, what you see is a cropped version; but even the original was a bit fuzzy. I did some editing (sharpening and stuff), but it could’ve been better.

How do you photograph the moon? Apart from zoom, how do you work the exposure and most importantly, how do you get it sharp?

Wheels of the Past

This photograph was shot at Rheinfalls, an hour north of Zurich in Switzerland. This wheel was probably used in pre-industrial era to fetch water from a well or river.

I liked the mood of this one; and also the angle, the framing and the background. The white board in the top-left corner does seem out of place but it was a great spot to put my signature!

I shot this snap in Sepia. The reason I put up this snap on the blog is to get feedback or any pointers on when to use Sepia and when not to. Almost any snap that I take in Sepia; it always looks better when I desturate it and turn in into B&W. It was no different with this one – I post-processed the photo and made it B&W – and that looked better than the one you are seeing here.

Any links to Sepia-flavored snaps which you have taken are greatly appreciated!
