Can tell you the legends of the picture though…<BR/>Time is about 4:30 in the evening. Any later and the picture will go red. <BR/>Aperture is tight. About 8-11. Shutter speed maximum. ISO 100. <BR/>And yes, a UV lens always helps thanks for the kind words….<BR/>Ekta: Thank you…Yes I think it kind of fit the occasion…though Aakash beat me to it. <BR/>Aakash: That’s one of the nicest things anyone ever said to me. Thank you. <BR/>Though I wish you hadn’t commented. Your poem sounds more apt to the picture and the occasion….<BR/>Bali: Bhaa ji, Kithe gwaach gaye? Thank you so much. Bless you too…<BR/>Queenbee: Yeah…yeah…can’t blame them. Space issues and hormones usually don’t help each other…but the sea and beyond is awesome…thank you…<BR/>Noojes: very thank you<BR/>Sanjana: *blush*blush* thank you. Though I can assure you I am more fortunate than my father. Because I have the best father in the world. Better than even what he had and he thinks he had the best…there is no trick of light Sanjana. That’s just you admiring me ;-)<BR/>Silverline: Haven’t had someone say that to me in a long time. Thank you…I pretend to believe so too…glad you liked the poem. People like the picture better and Aakash already made my lines sound like they were suffering from parkisons….wish I had written it the way he did…thank you…<BR/>Ishita: Thank you so much…<BR/>Exasperater: Thank you…glad you liked it….<BR/>Yashita: shit! Had I known it would work so well I would have saved it for a face to face;-) anyways…I made a believer out of you <BR/>And yes…dreams are special…thank you so much<BR/>Deepa: I shot them straight from the heart Deepa…and the thought syncs. <BR/>So even if the lines don’t rhyme, it goes…<BR/>And no, I have not done any clinical changes on the picture. It is shown here the way it was taken. Cropping meant cutting a large size image to a smaller size. Say I ‘cropped’ 4 inches from the top and the bottom. So what you see is the horizon and the bird. <BR/>The sun and rocks are cut…<BR/>Yeah…this panoramic view shot would look best when it’s large….3x2 is the max they could blow it up…wish I had taken a larger size image….<BR/>I am employed as a copywriter for an advertising agency…I pretend to work; they pretend to pay me thanks for the kind words…<BR/>Now that all ambiguity about the authenticity of the picture is cleared…hope you look at it again…<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>harjee±https://www.blogger.com/profile/03713809353619351949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19594617.post-1146197021919318892006-04-28T09:33:00.000+05:302006-04-28T09:33:00.000+05:30hey ,.... nice set of lines ...but i feel the rhyt...hey ,.... <BR/><BR/>nice set of lines ...<BR/>but i feel the rhythm doesnt match in the last 2 lines ... or mayb , i am reading it w/ the wrong pauses .. <BR/><BR/>the pic is great ... very smooth blend ... is this the actual snap or made over w/ adobe etc ? i mean , u used the word " crop " .. so , i got the feeling that u have modified the pic ... <BR/><BR/>ur dad must be so happy ... <BR/><BR/>3x2 ft ... gosh !!!! <BR/><BR/>what do u do , btw ?~*.
