Flashback 36 of 365 - Aerial View of Sydney

Sydney - 8/19/2008

Looking down from AMP tower in Sydney. You can see the aerial view of Sydney Harbor. It was beautiful and grand. I could not get a view of the Opera House from the tower but got a shot of Harbor Bridge from the other side on the tower. Too bad we had to see everything through the glass.

Flashback 35 of 365 - Cowboys and Cowgirls

9/3/2006

Sacramento holds Gold Rush festival of the 1800s almost every year along the sides of Sacramento River. Men and Women are dressed in old style clothing, the type people used to dress up in the 1800s. This festival is so awesome that you actually feel you have traveled 150 years back in time. From roads to shops to games everything is setup to emulate that era. Bustling with activity, the district is alive with shopping, dining, entertainment, historical attractions and world-renowned museums set within the time of the California Gold Rush and the Transcontinental Railroad.

Here's a shot of horse riders moving around town in their cowboy outfit. I am planning to write a blog about this event and post pictures I had clicked when I attended this festival.

I chose to use grayscale here because it fits perfectly well with the subject I am portraying.

Wedding Hall

San Francisco - 1/14/2007

From one of the weddings I had shot earlier in 2007. This is the best wide angle I could get given the time and situation. Guests were yet to arrive and I wanted to get a shot of arrangements just before the wedding started. This was Indian wedding. Look at the beautiful arrangement for bridal walk. The wedding "mandap" as we call it in India was to the left at the end of this hall. Below is the attached shot of the "mandap". Typical Indian weddings go on for more than 3 hours(on average). And this was no doubt the whole day event. But it was a fun and learning experience.
