Sausalito during a foggy summer night. The exposure time was 6 seconds with F/4.5 lens aperture.

Shooting me shooting him...

Always interesting to shoot a fellow photographer! I love the silhoutte against the bright blue sky...

Snoqualmie Falls

noreply@blogger.com (OmPrakash Muppirala) — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 00:36:00 +0000

Taken during my recent trip to Seattle. Shot using my new Canon 10/22 insanely wide angle lens. Shutter speed was at 2 seconds, hence the beautiful soft artistic look of the falls.

Must be a Nikon user...

He doesn't seem too happy with my camera/lens setup.

Like moths, flying towards the light

I cant believe I was lucky enough to frame a shot like this one.
Clear skies + air show = unbeatable combination!!!

July 4th Fireworks

noreply@blogger.com (OmPrakash Muppirala) — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 16:50:00 +0000

I always wanted to try a shot at capturing fireworks. This past July 4th celebrations provided a golden opportunity. Needless to say, I am very pleased with the results :-)

The Gazebo Effect

This one was taken during the full moon night last week. My first decent looking HDR attempt :-)

The perfect jump!

I seem to have a thing for jumps... Lake Tahoe in the background.

SFO in the night...

noreply@blogger.com (OmPrakash Muppirala) — Mon, 07 May 2007 07:26:00 +0000

A part of the city seen from on top of the Twin Peaks. If you pay attention, you can see that the trail of the red tail lights and the trail of the head lights (coming around the hill) belong to the same car.

As a bonus, I got a plane curving dramatically in the view...

Aatha, naan paas ayitten...

Over exposed, out of focus...
But still, I am quite happy with the result :-)

I want to go there...

Hawaii??

Bench's eye view

noreply@blogger.com (OmPrakash Muppirala) — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 08:54:00 +0000

A bench near my apartment complex. This was taken for my photography class-assignment. The topic was 'Perspective' :-)

The Beam

noreply@blogger.com (OmPrakash Muppirala) — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 08:23:00 +0000

Taken outside Luxor, Las Vegas. They claim that this beam can be seen from the moon..

Golden Gate

noreply@blogger.com (OmPrakash Muppirala) — Sat, 30 Dec 2006 11:37:00 +0000

Arguably the most photographed bridge in the world, looking more dramatic than usual...

Wave Rider

noreply@blogger.com (OmPrakash Muppirala) — Sat, 30 Dec 2006 11:15:00 +0000

It was as if the wave and the rider were posing for me. Shots like these make it seem all worthwile :-)

This was taken from near the Vista point at the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge.

One down, two to go...

noreply@blogger.com (OmPrakash Muppirala) — Fri, 22 Dec 2006 00:03:00 +0000

Yeah, one of them got married!

About the pic: I took this one near Ghirardelli Square on the San Francisco Bay. Boy, it is hard to make three people pose for you at the same time.

I couldnt resist photoshopping the image a little bit. I desaturated the three models, keeping the colors of the background posters. Then added a little bit of Gaussian blur.

Plagiarism

Why compose a photo when you can steal someone else's great shot :-)

Praying under the Sun

noreply@blogger.com (OmPrakash Muppirala) — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 07:15:00 +0000

Taken at Darioush, a winery in Napa Valley. One of the first photos I took with my Digital Rebel XT.

Big Basin Berry Creek Falls

noreply@blogger.com (OmPrakash Muppirala) — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 07:09:00 +0000

I shot this photo sometime in early 2006. Cant believe I hiked 6 miles to see this falls, then hiked 6 miles back.

Totally worth it!
