Journey to the Big Apple - Watkins Glen State Park

This would be my first pic of the series 'Journey to the Big Apple', my trip to New York, Watkins Glen State Park and Niagara.

I am not into landscape or nature photography, but this place was so good that not capturing it seem to be an insult of the atmosphere…

First pic is with high shutter speed and the rest are long exposure shots … The long exposure shot is hand held, didn't have a tripod …

On streets of Ahmedabad - The Hard Life

This pic comes under the series “On streets of Ahmedabad” … A Experience I had while spending a day capturing streets of Ahmedabad.

I remember the interesting incident I faced just before I captured this pic. I am born and brought up in Gujarat and my college was 80 kilometers from Ahmedabad. So I have visited the city many times and have even lived there for 6 months. But this time when I was roaming with my camera, trying to capture the life I have been seeing since many years, I was approached by local street vendors demanding not to take pictures here and also asked me to delete all the pics I have taken.

I was not offended by this, but was rather amused. How certain attributes you carry can change people’s point of view for you. I have visited that very place hundreds of time and every time I have communicated with the local vendors with ease. But this time the camera and my decision to record the life I have lived here made the difference.

Talking about the pic, I am sorry that the heel is not in focus in the pics. I was kind of overwhelmed by the incident so I guess was pre-occupied. This is not an excuse but just an explanation :) . I had to reduce the size as the original pic was exceeding the defined limit. I am not sure whether I can paste the facebook link here. Will paste flickr link if I upload the pic there :)

Please do let me know what does these pics miss. praise it or reject it, but express your feelings using comments :)
