Sunflowers at Sun Set
I made this photograph in Badami during the monsoon season last year. Sunflowers usually bloom in July-August months, and in some places there is another season at the end of the year. It is grown in abundance in the fields of central Karnataka.
For some reason, unlike their usual behaviour, the flowers were facing against the sun. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that the sky was cloudy a little while before sunset. Whatever the reason be, it definitely worked good in making this photograph.
Daily Photo: Stakna Monastery, Ladakh
On a cold winter morning, the caretaker monk showed us around the prayer halls and temples at Stakna Monastery, Ladakh.
The photograph was made using the natural light coming from the window. It was fairly dark in the room, and necessitated photographing at a high ISO. This images was made with ISO set to 3200 and shutter speed of 1/13 sec. Making such images often requires a camera that can produce good quality images even at higher ISOs.
