P and Old Folders

Hi,

HUHHH.... It always feels so good to talk to you.! :)
One thing I noticed about Mr.P. He follows his own thoughts while clicking photographs. And that's all he does. But technically, he is as good as Roger Federar in Indian classical music. One of my friends, Vikas, knows it and is really trying to help him out now-a-days. He thinks, it will make Mr.P "better". Thanks dude.! :)... (But for some reason , he thinks Mr.P is some competition for him.!!!.. sigh.!!!)
About this current post, they are again some of the photos from some old folders. Didn't realise earlier that they can be touched up a little to reflect out their moods even better. Here is the lot on which I just finished working on.

This photograph is from Prinsep Ghat. The post below this one has details about my trip there with my brother. Took this snap to get the last slash of the sun rays falling on the Ganga. And also to capture its last reflection on it. Call this one SET TO SET.

The next one is from the same Ghat. The bridge had lost all its details in the shadows of the setting sun.

This one was taken before the previous one. Frankly, I don't have much philosophy from my side to put for this photo. Have thought of the name I have chosen for this one: STRANGLED SUN.

The next one was taken 2008 (on the very same day when Mr.P realised that he is Mr.P).

This is a stone fairy mounted at the apex of the Victoria Memorial (what?? haven't heard of this Kolkata landmark?? Gawd.!!). Earlier it used to rotate with the wind at that altitude but now it doesn't. (Without knowing that Mr.P was applying something called Law of Thirds), Mr.P took this photo to test his camera zoom. I call this pic EVENING BUGLE.

By looking at the next one, you can guess that it sure will take a good zoom to know if its a Chinese bamboo art or a Renaissance angel at the top.This pic was also on the same day as the previous one. To tell you the truth, Mr.P was trying very hard to get the whole of Victoria Memorial in a single frame from this distance (yes, this is an angular view of the Kolkata landmark I was talking about) but he kept on failing. Then he came up with an idea of covering his failure with a little "philosophy" (c'mon guys... something had to be done!). So Mr.P went to this corner and kept going on until the whole thing was in his LCD screen. Mr.P (not me) calls this photo: PERSPECTIVE STAND. (Let me know the meaning of this name if you get it!)

The next one was taken during the Durga Puja in 2008 at Kolkata (where else do you think?). It was at a domestic Puja at Sen Bari (Sen's residence) at Behala.

Me and my bro (Biki) went in unrestricted. While he was admiring one half of the house,I was doing it for the rest of the half. In old Kolkata, houses of similar architecture were common among the wealthy group of people. Today, they still have their magic on the newer group of people. I call this grey picture with only a blue 'something' in the center CORRIDOR AND HISTORY.

Now, for the next one, you have to start by forgiving me for I have made my own (copyrighted) photo reach its extremes. This is an amazing (brilliant, magnificent,... and awesome) piece of sculpture near the root of the dome of the Victoria Memorial (now you know what 'Victoria Memorial' is, right?).

For many reasons, I think you can have mixed reaction on this one. If you like this, then I would say that its not at all fake. Its an honest 100% effort by Mr.P. If you hate it, then I will say that I will try for better ones. From the photo's content part to Mr.P's (and mine) crossed fingers, there is only name I found suitable for this photo: TENDER.

Well, that was all I could do this afternoon. Please do let me and Mr.P know anything you have to say on this through your posted comments. It would be great to know how we are doing.!!

Till next time,

Bye :)
