Three years of Digital Photography World

Thursday, June 19, 2008

DPW is has been three years old, and the day of its inception passed without me noticing it!

The first ever post was made on May 5th 2005, a few days after I bought my first digital camera - Canon EOS 350D. To date I have retained the same camera, completely happy with it and never needing an upgrade.

Digital Photography World was born as place for me to make notes of all things I learn about digital photography, especially technical stuff. But in the recent years, I have moved out from getting deeper into technical aspects of photography and have been spending that effort in making better images.

It has been a silent month at DPW as I have been busy with a few other projects I am working on, and things may remain so for two more months. But that doesn't mean an end; I will get back to making continuous updates here again.

Walks in India series on India Travel Blog

Thursday, June 05, 2008

India Travel Blog is another blog where I write on, related to personal insights on travelling in India. The blog is featuring a series of articles in the month of June, called 'Walks in India'.

During the month of June, India Travel Blog will be featuring a series of articles for travellers on Walks in India.



Unlike in many countries, walks and walking tours are not common or popular in India. This series intends to promote the idea of walks that can enable travellers to see and experience the places better by getting closer. The series explores short and easy walking trails across India, with which a traveller can witness history, culture, life, landscapes and heritage of the country.

The series will have fifteen walking trails, published through the month of June, containing detailed description of the walk along with maps, difficulty level, best season to do the walk, time of the day and distance of the trail.

The places include, but are not limited to metros and cities, and are chosen from every corner of the country. The walk intends to cover a lot of variety, such as walking the sand dunes in a village in Rajasthan, experiencing devotion on the bank of Ganga, seeing history come alive in the remains of ancient structures and short walks in snow amidst views of the snowy peaks.

Walks are a great way to see places, get up close to people and interact, observe carefully and see things better. They help the traveller take time and feel involved with the scenery instead of buzzing past and seeing things as a window-view. This series will assist you to find some great walks from all along the country and feel its pulse.
