Dancing Lights

I took these pictures in the evening when it was almost dark. I shook the camera while taking them so the lights in the picture made patterns.

The green background is a lawn.

A distant but bright street light along with other tinier lights.

The sweeping motion makes it look like a river of lines.

Solar Eclipse


On the 22 of june my family and I all got up at 5 in the morning to see the solar eclipse. It was the first I had seen and I managed to get this shot. Unfortunately from where we were in Delhi only a partial eclipse could be seen. But still it was quite an experience.

Shadows


My mother was reading and light was coming in from the window on the side. I liked the silhouette it made.


The shadow of a few leaves. They look like a shadow waterfall.


The trunk of a palm tree with the shadow of its leaves.



The Sky

The tiny plane just shows how vast it all is.



Shafts of light coming from behind a cloud.


This picture of a sunset was taken by my father.


Grey clouds just before rain.

Smoky patterns

I had read about smoke photography on the internet but didn't have the special lighting and settings needed. But I tried it anyway, with only the camera's flash and an incense stick. And I was happy with the results.

Texture



I really liked the texture of the cloth and the wooden button.
