Ippodhan 'ninja' karuppe
With 'Sultan' on its way, I believe this would be the future of brand 'Rajni'
With the extraordinary support of japanese folks, this would be a great success.
Are u game?

This is not an Advertisement ;-)
Beyond my head that you see, is the rain gray sky....
Behind the lens that shoots me, is my 'Branded' sky....
I transmit to you what you choose, from beyond and behind. Who am I?

Below Enemy Lines - The Intruder
When I noticed this strange behaviour among the crows in my back yard, I knew something was not right. As my eyes scanned the garden for any disorder, this nocturnal caught my attention.
I immediately loaded my canon and shot a few pics before the black battalion of crows launched an attack on the intruder.
But these poor guys didn't know that the owl was an actor in Harry Potter 6 and had faced a good amount of spells and dementors bravely. The crows were no match against the flying skills of the owl.
All the crows could do was to return empty handed. But they knew who their real enemy was.
They started planning an attack on J K Rowling...

Miniature Art
While I was trying my hand at the macro photography feature of my canon, I did a few shots of these mini idols.
Though these are normal 'plaster-of-paris' dolls, I wonder at the amount of professionalism in art, exuded by them.
However small they are, Gods are Gods; similarly however insignificant they may be, art is art.
Experiment... for Chrissake
Modern Art in Photography. In other words, experiment. Courtesy: Jesus Christ.
A neon cross atop a local church + 15 seconds shutter delay in ur camera + a pair of 'very' shaky hands = You are a modern artist in photography ;-)

Solar - Electricity !?!
It was 6 pm and the client representative was tired of my continuous bugging for Balance Sheet schedules.
"Karthik, I need a break man. Will be back after a tea. Join me?", he asked.
"Its ok sir. Carry on", I too got up to stretch my limbs.
I had been trying to get this guy at the right place but somehow he was escaping from me everyday, in a matter of minutes.
I got ready for the attack. At the exact moment, I pulled out my weapon and fired.
The sun was exactly behind the TNEB hologram.

Though the sun is behind TNEB's inefficiency towards handling summer power cuts, this 'sun being behind TNEB' turned out to be a good one for me.

Cool Circles
Guess these circles.
Hint: Both these mean to contain the same thing. But what one contains, the other does not.
Ideas Inc is up and active.
It starts with a simple story and a new idea in story telling.
Welcome to my ideas here

I am sitting in the accounts department of a soft drink manufacturing plant, waiting for the client representative. The guy is testing my patience. I have been waiting for almost an hour now. The thoughts of traveling for 2.5 hours to reach home and having to come again tomorrow, make me feel more uncomfortable.
I feel sick about having to wait, waste time, and work late for no fault of mine. Why should I work like this waiting for people? Why don’t I just go on to do what I want without having to wait for other people?
With these thoughts lingering in my mind, I start looking around the room. My eyes suddenly strike this little fellow.
I remember seeing this lizard at the same place this morning. It has been sticking on to the same place for all this time without moving a muscle. What is he doing there all day long? Who is he waiting for?
Yes…it strikes me now. He’s sticking on because he just has to stick on. He has to stick on to that wall to exist, not to fall till he learns the art of crawling.
Me too..

Golden Garbage
It was around 7 PM this evening. It was the 14th time of Load Shedding for the day.
To free myself from the darkness of my room, I took shelter under the moonlight in my terrace (of course with my camera).
Since my umpteenth attempt to capture the moon was not as successful as I had expected, I turned my lens to other directions in search of some prey.
It was then I spotted this garbage dump (created by some independent anti-environmental enthusiasts, who did not believe in the system of disposing garbage) and the canine toilet (ada...andha EB box dhaanga) glittering under the super bright rays of a sodium vapor lamp.
I placed my camera on my parapet wall (I don't have a tripod yet) so as to avoid shaking, and shot the picture with a 15 second shutter delay.
Sometimes, even garbage glitters... that’s not irony, that's Illusion!

Aalavandha Vinayagar
It was the time when I was new to digital image editing (read photoshop & photoimpact). The features of these applications amazed me to a great extent.
I did not have a digital camera then. Hence my favourite passtime was creating images using new features I learnt in Photoimpact.
The picture posted here was created in Photoimpact using Material layers tool. It was a prospective greeting for 'Vinayagar Chaturthi - 2002'. (But I later overruled that idea since I felt that the picture was a bit too violent for a festival greeting)
Trivia - Highly inspired by the movie 'Aalavandhan', I created lot of collages about that movie. But this one's my favourite.
The official title I gave the picture is the title of this post ;-)

Nothing else...

Known is a drop...
A new experiment with my canon. Shooting a drop...
I put my canon into manual mode with 1/3200 sec shutter speed. Had to go out to my garden to get that sort of a lighting to support my super fast shutter. In the super macro mode I started focussing on the tap.
drop...
(click)
drop...
(click)
huh! I could only shoot the tap...
Suddenly, I could feel a bulb glowing over my head! the 'continuous' shooting mode.
After a 60 shots in continuous shooting I got my picture. Triumphantly, I transferred the pic to my PC. And then the unexpected surfaced. The picture had unbelievably heavy noise...
Photoshop came to my rescue... extensive noise reduction + brightness & contrast adjustment + radial blur to overshadow the remaining noise.
That was the story of the simple water drop....
As Rajnikanth rightly said in Baba
"Known is a drop....
Unknown is an ocean"
