Bajra



I have used macro mode with slight zoom to get this shallow DOF effect.

Bajra (millet) is a major crop in South India. On our way to Wayanad, on NH 212 (I strongly recommend taking this route. There are two other routes but the roads are bad and NH 212 passes through Bandipur National Park. It's an amazing drive!), we passed through fields full of Bajra.

We were travelling in Kerala on the Independence day and twice people stopped our car and offered us payasam. I thought it's some marriage first time, but later it dawned on me. Payasam, quite famous sweet dish of Kerala, is made by millet seeds.

UPDATE: Another picture from the same millet farm is kept here. This one is more close up.

New Camera - First Pic!

 Recently I bought a new Panasonic DMC Lumix FZ-20. I took it along on our trip to Wayanad this weekend. This photoblog shall now showcase pictures taken (mostly) with my new camera.
I would like to thank my close friend, Jha, for lending me his camera all this while.

This panning picture is the first decent enough panning picture that I took. I was just checking out the panning mode in the new camera and perhaps because of beginner's luck :) this one came out to be good. I didn't pre-focus the lens, so the bike looks a bit out of foucs, but I'm not complaining since the feel of motion is captured nicely.
