Toddling into the Arena of Photography :)

My friends and family are quite familiar with this popular and sometimes annoying trait of mine....my love for photography!

And with an ever supporting DH cum subject cum inspiration cum critic by my side, I could not ask for more. He gifted me with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Camera....wooohooooooo! Thanks Honey ;)

So, I kicked off my pilot project with the annual Ugadi celebrations here at Toronto.

Finding it a bit difficult to hold the camera steady as it's quite heavy with the complicated zoom lens. The pictures are not perfect but not bad for a starter, I think. Moreover, I want you all to drop in your detailed comments, tips and suggestions to hone my skills.

Wish the diya was a little more focused here...


I soon realised that I loved clicking portraits...and I did just that, the entire evening. My positioning has gone wrong in the below pictures. Perhaps, I should concentrate more on that one.


These young girls performed so well! Caught their expressions post-dance.


Though not focused properly, I somehow fell in love with this picture. This girl also played drums..Believe me, it was mindblowing!


And this girl was the most interesting subject for me. She had beautiful, expressive eyes.


Wish I could capture the complete mudra :(


Happy her and a more happy me :D
