Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you...
while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

BELIEF

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.
-GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

A GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN

Who has not found the heaven below
Will fail of it above.
God's residence is next to min,
His furniture is love.

Hi friends... here are some tips on how you can make your simple compact camera deliver better results. Note that all the photographs in this blog are taken by Nikon L16, a 7.1 mp compact camera with no extra- ordinary features.

1)Note that each photograph needs some retouching after you transfer it on your computer. Now here is a simple tip… increase the contrast of the image using adobe photoshop or simply Microsoft office picture manager. You will definitely see great improvement and colours will be more lively


2)Learn how to use macro mode. It is a very powerful feature that is often ignored. Switch on the macro mode and use your optical zoom as much as possible. Now try to focus on a subject. In most of the compact cameras , note that the focus is brought into focus by pressing the click button partially until the braces displayed on the screen is not green.aa

3)Avoid using flash unless the subject in not very poorly lit. Instead keep your camera somewhere ( unless you dont have a tripod) so that it doesn’t move and then capture the shot. It gives unexpectedly amazing results sometimes. Try lighting the subject in different ways.

4)Remember to you basic rules of photography like two-third rule , line convergence etc. importance of composition can never be ignored.

NATURE

Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.

CELEBRATIONS

When humans participate in ceremony, they enter a sacred space. Everything outside of that space shrivels in importance. Time takes on a different dimension. Emotions flow more freely. The bodies of participants become filled with the energy of life, and this energy reaches out and blesses the creation around them. All is made new; everything becomes sacred.

On the verge of extinction..!!!!

What describes "being old"? Minds eye conceives an inutile person with no possessions , which is probably why we stand in awe of age.
We wish we could never have to grow old. We even fancy to go back to our golden childhood days and stay there forever.Isn't that so??


What we fail to realize here is the theme that life is based upon. Life is all about experience that we gather from it. It is not about our physical state or wordly status. Its obout assimilating the experiences that the life feeds us with.

"As you grow old, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two, you'd always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, its also the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it."

- This is an excerpt from one of my favorite book "Tuesdays with Morrie" (a must read book).


"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

-Abraham Lincoln

eyes do speak...!!!
and they speak "more than words"..!!

















light ( read: any good) feels best at dawn (at its commencement) and at dusk (when it is about to leave) ... for the rest of the time, it is taken for granted...!!! bask in whatever good you are bestowed with ,before it is too late to realize what you are about to loose.
















expressions are accentuated when light is less..!!!!
if you know what i mean...
