Danish boat trip Redux

Hello!!! been quite busy…so this week a double update.

Two weeks back i did the embarrassing danish boat trip again. Embarrassing…because it attracts the wrong kind of people…This is the last time i am doing it. Luckily for me it was a great trip. All credit goes to the Long Island Ice Tea.

Its not a question of if…its a question of when. This is what i said to someone person asked me if i will get a job outside India. Today i ask myself a similar question…will i find my better half…and all i can think of is the same statement, “Its not a question of if…its a question of when”.

Regrets?
Few months back when i brought my new camera… i was not so sure of the lens…the 28/1.8. Over the past few weeks…using it everyday…i am more than happy with the lens. The challenge is to get the focus at 1.8 due to the extremely narrow DOF. When you nail it…the quality of the lens shines through and the moment the image shows up on the LCD…it makes it all worth it. Its hard to explain it to someone who has never done photography. I keep hearing people say “are you from japan?”…due to the fact that i always carry my camera with me. Its sad when that happens…it shows how people are stuck to their preconceived idea of a day and life in general. Add a bit of surprise and they freak out. Dude with a camera…run for your life.

Work work…play play

After 3 weeks of working and absolutely no partying…this weekend was a refreshing(wtf!!! refreshing…anyways) weekend. Started with the usual Friday evening beers…i managed to have two bottles of Ringnes…certainly not one of the best beers money can buy.

Pushing the camera to its limits. ISO3200, f/1.8, 1/30. The only source of light was the lighter…tough to focus with glasses…frustrating when you physical abilities gets in the way.
30d maxed out

Oslo at night. 3200, f/8, 5. I pretty much sux at scenic photography and the lens is not really good at it. This one is for my sister.
