So i am in the process of designing a new template for my Photoblog with some help from templates availaible on net and a design expert :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, i am in a fix.........I have two options........&lt;br /&gt;1) I apply the new template on this blog and continue posting here&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) I start a new blog, post some of the best pics of existing one and let that carry on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In case, i select 2 option, i would continue running this blog but it would be more aligned to its title going forward ( Portrait of life and not experiments with camera as it is now). so a lot of pictures from our daily life would be here. Where as the new blog will have experiments with my camera and artistic type photos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets see, i am still thinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took this pic using my phone camera (2mp) at my balcony in Chennai.

The last one i took was of Matteputty Dam in Munnar. &lt;a href="http://aportraitoflife.blogspot.com/2005/09/matteputty-dam-lake.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Click here to see that&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;On the last weekend trip to Lansdowne, I took this Panorama photo from Tip-N-Top point. You can see the Western Himalayas in the pic in the background. I took this photo without using tripod. The earlier one (Munnar) was taken using a tripod. The key to any panorama pic is to take shots with 30% of common area between two consecutive shots. You should not move the camera up and down for hoz. panorama, only sideways. Thats why a tripod is necessary. On this trip I totally forgot to bring the tripod:(&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I placed the camera on the railing and moved the digicam sideways to capture 5 pics and joined them to create this photograph. Fortunately, the pics came out good enough to create a panorama.

We were ready to come down from the Cliff Hut (at border of Kerala-TN), where we stayed for a night on our trek in Munnar. I was awake, right from 6 that morning to click some good pics and indeed it was worth getting up at that time cuz i got some fantastic shots. I will post them surely later. I just saw the sky for a moment and took this picture using my friend's Canon Powershot A-85 Digital Camera. That was the only camera which was out at that moment. I have packed mine in the bag and didnt want to miss movement of clouds. Even after having high shutter speed of 1/1000 sec you can imagine the speed at which clouds were floating by just looking at the picture. Also, I loved the contrast in the pic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(f/8.0, Shutter Speed 1/1000 sec)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13507001-112680713251163619?l=aportraitoflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aportraitoflife.blogspot.com/feeds/112680713251163619/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13507001&amp;postID=112680713251163619' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13507001/posts/default/112680713251163619'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13507001/posts/default/112680713251163619'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aportraitoflife.blogspot.com/2005/09/clouds-at-munnar.html' title='Clouds at Munnar'/><author><name>~ Deeps ~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08524410763382015726</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13507001.post-112660684245313374</id><published>2005-09-13T03:20:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-13T03:40:16.383-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Pretty Flower - Macro View</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="flickr-frame" align="center"&gt;&lt;a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happysoul/42957227/"&gt;&lt;img class="flickr-photo" height="311" alt="" src="http://static.flickr.com/33/42957227_240e4c5b91.jpg" width="428" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame" align="justify"&gt;Dont ask me which flower it is :( but i loved the color combination in it.

The key is to overlap 30% area minimum in two adjacent pic and use a tripod and just move it along. Dont disturb any of the settings of the camera and shoot with minimum time lag possible ( helps a lot if weather is changing like here). A tripod is must for this kind of photograph and the clarity of pic taken with tripod is miles ahead with the one taken without tripod. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment" align="justify"&gt;I have tried to show more of water out here to make the lake look large.

A Portrait of Life"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have developed an interest in Photography in last 7-8 months…..precisely around Diwali – 2004 (Festival of Lights in India). So, as always I have started putting in effort to learn it in the right way. Since, I don’t have time to actively pursue any Classes ( though I wish I can), I am learning gradually with the help of online tutorials and lots of PDF books (Thanx Santosh !!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most important decisions was “Which Camera???” Film or Digital, SLR or Non SLR…….With the world moving toward digital, I opted for it but I was again stuck on the decision of whether to buy a DSLR or not. In the end the financial constraints took over and I finally opted for Panasonic FZ-20. Generally people opt for Canon or Nikon cameras and don’t take Panasonic Brand serious but Panasonic has always been a good maker of cameras and it was the only brand with camera models in each list of best cameras in 2004. Its FZ list is amazing and FZ -20 is the best of list and the best you can opt for if you are not going for DSLR.&lt;br /&gt;Few features of Panasonic FZ-20 are :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Effective pixels 5.0 million&lt;br /&gt;ISO rating Auto, 80, 100, 200, 400&lt;br /&gt;Zoom wide (W) 36 mm&lt;br /&gt;Optical Zoom/ Zoom tele (T) 432 mm (12 x)&lt;br /&gt;Digital zoom Yes, 4 x&lt;br /&gt;Image stabilization Yes, lens Best in the market&lt;br /&gt;Storage types SD/MMC card&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can read more details about the camera at&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Panasonic/panasonic_dmcfz20.asp"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Panasonic/panasonic_dmcfz20.asp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here I am with my new Photo blog. Please don’t have high expectations from my pictures. I am still trying to take decent pics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A special thanx to Prashant for inspiring me to start this Blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers to a wonderful world of Photography !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~ Deeps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13507001-111821446792157298?l=aportraitoflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aportraitoflife.blogspot.com/feeds/111821446792157298/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13507001&amp;postID=111821446792157298' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13507001/posts/default/111821446792157298'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13507001/posts/default/111821446792157298'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aportraitoflife.blogspot.com/2005/06/picture-is-worth-thousand-words-slide.html' title='A picture is worth a thousand words; a slide show is both !!!'/><author><name>~ Deeps ~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08524410763382015726</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
