I’ve always been someone who got attracted towards nature’s beauty…
and ever since imaging got digital I wanted to get a digital camera…
But for some reason or the other I couldn’t get one untill May last year (2005),
when I got my first Camera 350D…
Before that I didn’t even know about “Aperture” though I knew that there is something
called “Shutter Speed”…
Recently I won Digital Camera Magazine’s “Photographer of the Year” Competition…
Now, Me and My Camera are inseparable and with each passing day world is getting more Beautiful…

It is the DOF which is making this shot out of the ordinary and, of course the great lense. I would have liked the subject to be centered, the protuding tongue adds that touch of naughtiness

It makes me smile. He looks very happy and at the same time mischievous. Very colourful shot in every way.

Very intense look in the eyes of the child. Great red color and excellent dof.
