A description of our road trip to some towns north of the Indian city of Bangalore in July 2009. This is a tale of temples and mosques, and monkeys and pigs.

Many Thanks for your interest and encouragement!
Recently, I visited the university city of Oxford, just west of London. I found the Botanical Gardens very interesting. Please share my impressions by clicking on :

On Sunday, 1st Feb 2009, the snow fell over London. On Monday and Tuesday, I took some pictures. See what London looked like after the worst smow fall it has experienced for over 10 years!
Take a look at my recent, almost complete (that depends on the weather in the next few days!):
A collection of photographs taken during our trip to Istanbul in October 2008 may be seen at: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/adam/album/100133 .
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
Adam
For the first time for a number of decades, the Christmas lights for which London's Regent Street is famous are .... wonderful .... and in good taste!

I am not ignoring you! I shall be on vacation for 10 days. It is unlikely that I will use the internet during this period. So, please don't feel that you are being ignored by me!
I have recently published an album of some of my pictures of Bangalore. Please take a look on: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/380576
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. | |
"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!
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.
