Photo A Day Experiment (PADE) Day28 - Special

Not much thinking again, for this Special theme I am posting a pic from my collection that first came to my mind reading the Theme.

Inspired by levitating self-portraits of a Japanese photographer Natsumi Hayashi, I tried this picture with a friend at Rangdum, Zanskar Valley.


 This picture post is an Entry to PADE-2013, a month long Photo-blog event. To know more and participate, click here or here. Check themes here.

    @Juztamom, I feel his friend jumped and he clicked the photograph. Simple :)

    I also have a similar photograph with my daughter. :)

    Really? It doesn't look that simple to me. Won't there be more movement in the photograph? But if you also managed it then Wow!!


    I don't think I will be able to capture it like this. It looks like he is floating in air!!

    Awesomesauce capture. Is this you in the picture or your friend? Looks like you (or whoever is in the photo) is on moon and floating around!
    I have never captured anything like this either. This is one 'Special' shot!

    Thanks @Juztamom :)

    Well, it was relatively an easy shot, as @StirYourSouls told. The guy was jumping and I was taking multi-shots at high shutter speed (1/2000 sec) to avoid any motion blur. A good light and normal expression on face are the must needed things to make the photo realistic :)

    I expressed it better when my friend learnt to click it, but then it wasn't my shot :P

Banned Indian Books

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth... Few days back when I came to know about a book on an Indian Business Barron on the Banned Indian Books’ List, the first thing that came in my mind were the lines from Tagore . What an irony, we live in a country, whose forefathers have dreamt about a nation without fear, about a nation with right to speech, right to knowledge; and where the Government enjoys the “privilege” to “freely” ban the books, censor what it feels offensive! Wikipedia describes Banned books as the books whose free access is not permitted. Further it says that the practice of banning books is just another form of censorship, and often has political, religious or moral motivations. In our country, banning books have got its history since the British rule days. In fact, few of the Books ...

Hoolangapar - Home of Indian Gibbons

Known as the Knowledge city of Assam – Jorhat is a small town in the NorthEast India with a unique distinction of sheltering India’s only population of Apes – the Gibbons .

Home Quarantined Day - the Last 1

I am not at all getting in to exactly how many days I stay locked in this room. I did not complete the course, neither Dark Season 3, nor the Book and didn't click a lot. I just kept working, on this or that stuff, cold calling people, and watched a lots of movies and web-series. But not Dark S03 - it's too intense; 3 timelines now intertwined with 2 alternate dimensions! I love all these complexities, absolutely, but the series is too heavy. I couldn't complete the course I intended to - was not at all in mood. One day, however, I did set up the camera and the flash and the stand - but like always camera battery died, and I have been too lazy to recharge. A few random shots like the above one and the one below - I didn't do much. But, I kept keeping track of my body temperature and it never crossed the normal number. So, I am good and finally yesterday when Hospital confirmed that "I can live my life", my wife agreed to put an end to this "no-good for an...
