Out of the cold

We have left cold, grey London and have arrived in sunny Bangalore from where I wish you all Happy Holidays!

I will look at Ipernity from time to time but not as often as usual.



All the best from

DASTKAR - An exhibition of folkloric handicrafts in Bangalore, India

The Dastkar Craft Exhibition is held annually in the grounds of Chitrakala Parishad in Bangalore. I would like to show you a few pictures I took whilst visiting it. See my album on Ipernity: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/adam/album/85415

An excerpt from the Deccan Herald (a newspaper in Bangalore India) adds a bit more detail to my description (See: http://www.deccanherald.com/CONTENT/Aug232008/metrosat2008082286012.asp ):

"Dastkar, a national NGO for crafts and craftspeople, celebrates its fourth Nature Bazaar at Chitrakala Parishat till September 1. The bazaar brings together different craft skills from 19 states from across the country.

The bazaar is not just a showcase for indigenous techniques, textures and designs, but a forum for environmental, social and cultural concerns, bringing together ideas and issues as well as people and products.

This year, the theme ‘Elephant’ will be interpreted in spectacular weaves, carved on wood, embroidered on fabrics, cast in metals, sculpted in terracotta and papier mache, painted on paper and knotted in
rattan and fibre, celebrating the symbiotic independence of man and nature.

Nature Bazaar offers a huge range of craft products from garments, soft furnishings, accessories, jewellery, toys, leather products etc. One can experience Tussar, Kota, Chanderi, Jamdani, Upadda, Ikat, South Cotton, Khadi and Pattu weaves besides mirrored hand embroidery, block prints, Dhokra cast metal, ironware and terracotta pottery. There are also woollen shawls from Himachal Pradesh and natural fibre products from Karnataka.
So be part of Dastkar Nature Bazaar to help artisans help themselves."

"The Worldwide Photo Walk is a testament to the immediacy and inclusivity of digital photography. Everyone's invited, and it doesn't matter what camera you have. On August 23rd, Bangalore joins Bangkok, Barcelona, Boston, Buenos Aires and some 200 other cities in compiling a snapshot of a day in this world." So wrote Mahesh Shantaram, the organizer of the Bangalore Photo Walk on Saturday 23rd August 2008.

About 50 of us assembled at Mayo Hall at one end of Bangalore's Residency Road. Between 8.30 am and about 11.00 am, we strolled along the length of this major thoroughfare, and, as we did so, we took many pictures. My pictures are to be seen in my Ipernity album: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/adam/album/82599

JOIN ME IN RESIDENCY ROAD!

Experimening with HDR

Since joining Ipernity, I have been most impressed by the HDR images posted on this web-site.

I have begun experimenting with HDR, but without using a tripod. My images are the result of attempting to hold the camera in one position whilst taking pairs of photos at different exposures.

At first, I used the Photomatix programme in its trial version, which produces pictures with a Photomatix watermark. Now, I am experimenting with a free software package called QTPFSGUI. This seems very good, but a little slower than Photomatix.

What I find particularly interesting is the 'ghosting effect' that occurs if someone or something moves during the capturing of the two images in a pair.

You may view my efforts in the album: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/adam/album/75212
