Light paintings

I really like making light paintings because it is so simple and lots of fun. All you have to do is shake the camera and you can experiment with the settings to get different effects.
The ones above were taken by me and the ones below by my younger brother Dinkar. I think the ones he took are beautiful. I have no idea how they came like that and he doesn't either!

The Sea

Black and white

Three different pictures in black and white.



An abstract photo of stone beams across the roofs of two buildings (that's the sky you see through the beams).


Small white flowers arranged along a long stalk.

This photo is actually of my two brothers when they were building a tree house with a friend in that tree next to them(the friend has gone to get another bamboo stick or something). I really liked the composition of this picture.

Clouds and the Blue sky

One day the sun was shining, the sky was blue and puffy white clouds were floating around. I thought it was a nice time go for a walk and take some pictures. My brothers Srikant and Dinkar also came along.
The beautiful photo below was taken by Srikant.

Thoughtful puppy

This is Tashi, our friend's puppy. She was sitting under our dining table and dreaming about something.

Trainscapes

Photos of the passing scenery from the train window.

Yellow insect

One morning, I spotted this insect on the drawing room curtain. The yellow curtain could be seen through the transparent patches on its black wings. I liked the contrast between the yellow cloth and black insect.

Kittens

Our house has an open courtyard in the middle and once, after returning from a trip, we found that a cat had given birth to three kittens there while we were away. My brothers and I were really excited and we watched over them everyday. When they grew older they became more adventurous and started exploring the courtyard. It was fun watching them as they played and tumbled over each other. I also clicked many pictures of them and I think they enjoyed posing for the camera!

Through the bathroom window

The view of a plant through the frosted glass of a bathroom window. Only three leaves closest to the glass could be seen clearly.

Heart on the mat

One morning I noticed a very interesting thing. The sun fell through a break in the roof tiles on the front door mat in the shape of a heart! I've still not been able to figure out exactly how it happened. The shape of the hole was nothing like this. Strange, right?

A Sunset

A sunset at different times during the same day.
