Papaya Tree @ Tarangi Resort, Jim Corbett National Park, Uttranchal, INDIA

Recently we went to Jim Corbett for an office trip and stayed at a resort called Tarangi. This photograph was shot at same place. This resort was amazingly beautiful and many such plants were around the cottages. To see more photographs of this resort, click on the photograph above. 

Holiday Cottage at Jim Corbett National Park !!!

This photograph was clicked during one of my recent trips to Jim Corbett National Park. We stayed in Tarangi resort which is approximately 8 kilometers form Bijrani Gate of Jim Corbett National Park. It's showing one of the holiday cottage at Tarangi. Tarangi resort has lot of space around and density of cottages is very low wr.t. total area available in the resort. Very well maintained, full of flora n fauna and appropriate place to relax during holidays !!!

Best use of harsh light while Photographing small objects

I know it sounds stupid to emphasize on doing photography in harsh light but what to do when you don't have an option and time to wait for right lighting. Of course, it's extremely challenging while shooting landscapes but small objects like Flowers, Leaves, Abstracts etc can be tried in Harsh light.

THe photograph above is clicked during noon time. This flower was very well lit from back side and there was a brown wall in the background. That wall was not getting any light or negligible as compared to light on this flower. Metering was set as spot metering, by pointing on this flower. I tried few shots and realized that Nikon D200 was not cirrectly metering the light. Then I used exposure compensation of negative 1 stop to achieve this result. And this photograph has hardly any post-processing. I like this shot and now I need not to wait for early mornings or evenings to shoot such things :) ..

Just came back from Jim Corbett !!!

Last weekend we were out for a trip to Jim Corbett, a wildlife sanctuary with maximum number of Tigers in India. Theoretically probability of  seeing a tiger at Corbett should be high but huge area and disproportional distribution make it near to impossible. It was third time when I visited Corbett, and haven't seen Tiger. 

We stayed at Tarangi Resort, which was a decent place to stay. Above photograph is clicked inside the resort.

Wonderful view of LAP Club at Samrat Hotel in Delhi, INDIA !!!

Recently I visited LAP Club in Delhi and it's an awesome place inside Samrat Hotel. This place looks very different and even different than other campus of Samrat Hotel... Club area is very well maintained with a beautiful garden outside... Only members of this club have access to LAP and only members can recommends other memberships... No doubt, it's one of the top clubs in Delhi !!!

Water Fountain at Samrat Hotel, Delhi !!!

This is a photograph of water fountain in an open garden of Samrat Hotel in Delhi. This is just outside the LAP club, to be very specific. LAP club is one of the popular club in Delhi and owned by Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal !!!

This garden is really beautiful and lights around this look amazing during the evenings.

Green Resort: Lake Village Resort in Naukuchiataal, Uttrakhand, INDIA

Last year, our office outing was planned for hills and Uttrakhand being the nearest hilly state, we thought of visiting Naukuchiyataal in UK :)


At Naukuchiyataal, we stayed at Lake Village Resort and it was a wonderful place to stay around the lake... Resort was spacious, green and safe !!! Part from normal facilities inside the resort, they also arrange for kayaking, boating, paragliding, paint ball etc... All of us enjoyed a lot and no one can miss the  evening masti around bonfire and DJ !!

A noisy photograph of Live Band @ Lake Village Resort in Naukuchiataal, Uttrakhand, INDIA

I was just looking through some old photographs and liked this particular photograph which was clicked during our office trip to Naukuchiataal last year. During the evening there was a music band performing at the place where everyone was near bon-fire. This band was enough to ignite the musical sense of some folks and they were also singing along. btw, there were some very talented folks in our group who knew singing, guitar and many other musical instruments... We stayed in Lake Village resort and they had planned this for us.

Incomplete Structure of Lake Village Resort in Naukuchiataal, Uttrakhand, INDIA

Lake Village Resort is just in front of Naukuchiataal lake and recently we visited this place with office friends.. There were few pillars around swimming pool of the resort and architectural form of these pillars was completely different from overall designs of cottages and villas there.. Probably these pillars were installed to cover swimming pool with some designer roof....
