Lifeless

Sunday, 10 PM and I am still working, this week has been quite busy as we wrap up the patch work on web application for our client. But it's over now, the application is all set to launch on 10/29, hopefully things will be lot better from next week onwards.

Here's a lifeless (dead) photograph for this week, just as I feel this week. Oh yeah, I just spent 2 mins on Photoshop to enhance it a bit, so check out the before and after :)

Comments

Thanks for the nice comments on my last post. It's good to see people wasting time reading my blog. LOL
One of my friend even wants me to become his teacher, ah! that's the best comment, but dude give me some more time and I betcha I will give you all the tricks. I am still in learning phase.


In last post, I missed posting the original picture, which I actually thought I will post during the time I was writing that entry, but the beauty of the new enhanced picture just bowled me and I lost that thought of train :) But then what are good friends for, to help you get better and one of my good friend just gave this nice suggestion. Thank you!

Here you go, this is the original one. Now give some pain to your fingers to scroll it down and compare 2 of 'em.

Camera got Lucky

My camera got lucky or rather luckier than I am. It has gone on trip to FRANCE!!!! Oh I forgot, few months back it went on trip to Italy too. My uncle who has been making these trips takes my camera along. I wish I was as handy as my camera :). When will I get lucky :( may be I should click "I got lucky" button on Google more than often.


Well, I have got so many pics to post that I don't need a camera. But yeah I would miss the coverage of festivities that are currently going on in here. Festive season is in, and that means holidays...yippiieeeeeeee.


I used to think that modifying pics with tools like Adobe Photoshop is not good idea and that a good shot doesn't need tools like Adobe Photoshop. That is true, but as I read in the magazine "Popular Photography", I realized tools like Photoshop enhance the shot. And when I put the pic below as my desktop wallpaper, it looked wonderful, better than the original one. Here's my first post that has been modified using Photoshop. And the modification is just the adjustment of Brightness and Contrast.


Here's beautiful Brooklyn Bridge.

Wildlife continues

The wildlife at my backyard continues, infact things have changed now. It is no more backyard, it is now frontyard wildlife. Yes, the kittens have grown a bit and they are not afraid of us anymore, especially me. I often catch them to give them what they are hungry for : love and milk.

My love for animals continues and it will; still remember those days when I was 9 years old and I used to hide small pieces of bread from my food, so that I can feed the 2 street dogs. Then came cat whom I caught at a rainy day when I was probably 10 years old, she used come in night and quietly slip inside my blanket. And then we shifted to 3rd floor where there was no sign of wildlife. Later we came to ground floor apartment once again and it started again, 2 years back, a yellow cat visited us and became a regular visitor and now these 2 guys and their mother.

These 2 are great, one of them comes to me whenever he sees me in the balcony and then tangles in my legs. Then I have to sit and love him, he probably likes my toe that's why he tries to chew it everytime and then I have to tell him that Dude, this is my toe and it hurts. May be because I always keep touching his paws he chews my toe ..haha funny. The only thing is he is so afraid of camera that It's a struggle to get him on camera. I once tried to give him a bath so that he remains clean and in the end he gave me a bath.
And the other one is a shy guy, he rarely comes in hand.
