Oriental White-eye Zosterops palpehrosus

Once again, bird photography is again being experimented, when the birds has stopped chirping. I have often read many blogs, where they stop bird photography after noon because the birds would stop the chirping.

I too agree that chirping would help to trace the bird, but that's not the only way to shoot birds. You can keep your eyes open and look for it.

One advantage, is the sharp pictures you get at noon, because of the extra bright lights that been lit up by the sun. Here are some of the pics I got from the place around 1 PM.

Experience at Pyramid Valley

As usual after hearing about this place and also the experience for the one who meditates often is very impressive, I did some initial search on this and decided to visit.

We left house at 10.15 AM and reached there by 11.10 AM having my residence near Mysore Road. My parents were really in awe feeling the scenic view, serenity and peace around.

It is seriously a place for the aspirants who want spiritual progress. This is not a picnic spot. The pyramid is just awesome which makes you feel very minute in front.

My advice is just go open minded, never to try to analyse how this works, or what experience you might encounter at this energy center.

Am not exaggerating things, here is what I felt. I practice meditation 15-20 min everyday. After settling down in kings chamber, which is at 1/3^rd height of the pyramid, specially build to hold the cosmic energy, I found to be in whirlpool, experiencing oscillation, chilling effect in spine, sudden flow of current across the head region.

These effects as I heard would be for one who meditates for a very long time. This happens there in just few minutes with proper focus and concentration with very less effort.

Also, there are arrangements for buying books about yoga and meditation, also a free lunch service free of cost.

Here is the few glimpse of the same below.

My cycling trip to Manchanbele Dam - nearly 60 km

My cycling trip to Manchanbele Dam

Our cycling track for the weekend was in a fix. We were in dilemma between Hesarghatta and Manchanbele Dam. 

Finally, we chose Manchanbele Dam for only reason that it was near comparatively.

We started at 6.30 AM from Bangalore University. We wanted to avoid the traffic, so we took Ullal Village Main Road. 

Here are the glimpse of Banglalore University at Morning.

It was unfortunate that the google maps is not equipped with Cycling tracks yet for Bangalore. We forced to land up with the Magadi Road which we wanted to avoid badly, instead wanted to go through the Tavarekere Kengeri Road.

But our GPS mislead us and landed in the crowded and pathetic Magadi Road for Cyclists. 

There is alternate way as well, i.e through Mysore Road, we avoided for the same very reason "Traffic".

So, in the way to our destination, we had our breakfast in the last village where there was some decent hotel available at around 9.30 AM. 

After we headed straight, cruising through the nature's beautiful village roads after passing Tavarekere, And after some point we need to take right which really is awesome track for cyclists.

Here are some of the snaps we enjoyed though the track.

After cycling for about another 75-80 minutes we reached Manchanbele Dam.

While returning we pushed ourselves hard through village roads and finally reached Banglaore University at around 2 PM.

My Learning in Photography

My Learning in Photography

Often photographers, who tend to start would often stick to manual mode to impose themselves as Professional Photographer.

 We sometimes forget we need to capture photographs which is pre-pictured in our mind about the scene beautifully.

Going behind Manual Mode would often land in not so awesome pics unless the subject remains and gives us enough time to set to get the intended picture.

So, I thought lets cross the bar of Manual, so searched a bit and started experimenting with TV (Shutter Priority)and AP(Aperture Priority).

When you are expecting a crisp and more realistic pictures, please do come out of your Manual Mode and put it on AP when you know your subject would remain for couple of seconds.

When the subject does not give any second chance again to capture the moment you could use TV.

Here are some of the pics captured using the Aperture Priority which has made that my favorite setting.

This place is Innovative Film City, Bidadi, Bangalore. Canon EOS 600D with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens Kit.
