Photo A Day Experiment (PADE) Day2 - Books

Theme for the Day 2 is Books. I have not shot much on this theme, honestly just a very few. So, it was a task for me to take a new photograph for the purpose.

 Easiest way out was to shoot my collection of Books with an objective, but then it was too simple to do. I took that pic, however, and learnt correcting Lens Distortion (thanks Kenrock). But, it wasn't satisfying me - it was easy to take, though editing (Photoshop and Picasa) added flavour to it, still.

 I wanted to do it with an objective, and then came in my mind 1st lesson of our TruePixer's workshop, Photography is not just an Art, but Fine Art. So, here is the pic...

Photography is not just an Art, but Fine Art
I shot this pic of Old Oxford Dictionary aptly matched with a Brush that I recently bought to clean the mirror of camera, with my LG Optimus mobile-camera, and done a little auto-correction thing. 


It wouldn't be justified if I don't post the first pic I shot. It was done D5000 18-55kit lens, no-flash, corrected for lens-distortion (cant say how good it's been corrected) and then basic editing.
Though it's eBook, the colors those Paperback bring to lives is just unparalleled
Idea was to compose the picture with the real books and eBook. Though, I too now prefer reading on Kindle, collecting (and reading too) real paperbacks is a charm!

    Awesome work, you make my entry nervous and run away. I have not edited my pics apart from cropping but I know how much life a little bit of correction/effects can bring. I have so much to learn from you!

    Thanks @Juztamom and @Ritu KT :)
    A nicely composed picture always tells the story, editing just adds a flavour or say spice to it :D

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 ...

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...
