I love the view from my balcony : Part II

I love the view from my balcony : Part II

Published Monday, September 04, 2006 by K | E-mail this post

Well here we go again... my modest attempts with my camera (For those who want to know, its a Sony CyberShot DSC P200 (Wide viewing range) 7.2 Megapixel Camera. By no means a professional camera, but with enough knobs and controls for me to fool around with, I can say it isnt exactly point and shoot either).

Here are some late evening and night shots...delayed exposure and all that jazz which I really do not understand... apparently there is something called a 2/3 rule in photography which someone pointed out to me... even more surprising is the fact that I usually naturally follow it...goddamn!!!

"All thats best of dark and bright"
-Long exposure, so excuse the slight fuzziness of the moon and stars. They move a bit, y'know.

"Peek a Boo"
-Ah, the moon, she teases me with her game...Not taken from my balcony I must confess, rather from below it.

"Clouds"
-Taken on the best day of my life... reasons are not very obvious I suppose, but even so, I hope you like the picture anyway. What weather... sigh!... perfect for a stroll...or a drive? My balcony is blessed, or so I would like to believe.At least that day. All hail the skies of Lucknow!

My my, the view in your balcony ensures that one is more than inclined to agree with your view that your balcony is indeed blessed...

Awesome pics. "my modest attempts with my camera"? Now that's modest! Modesty of course, is not always the best quality...depending on the situation and perspective of course...

@Mike Well the pictures do not even begin to do justice to the view in my balcony that day... in fact, I'd even stick my neck out and say that they conceal more than they reveal... what can I say, you just had to be there, I guess...

I can't believe this cloudscape was out there, and I missed it.
Those clouds should charge you for modelling for your cam, and you should charge us for seeing this fantastic pic, modesty be damned!

Lovely pics
One thing though. Aren't your balcony efforts getting slightly repetitive? How about experimenting with some new locations and objects?

Hi,

You are very honest and truthful to ur heart and feelings, which I can see from ur poems or rather words of emotions.

Keep it going and all the best to you.

Well ieven i dont follow the 2/3 rule ..but i try to get my compostion correct..aesthetically...naturally. Nice camera you got 7.2 megapixel...i prefer the Canon Powershot series. I have a Canon G3 they dont make it anymore. And hey a request, stop posting pictures of sky there must be other things memorable to shoot at IIML campus.

Wow.. should have a series called "The room with a view" pictures from your balcony at all times of the year.
