Today was Varalakshmi pooja.(see previous posts from 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008. Even this blog feels old now!
We had a nice evening at home with friends and family.
This being a function for the ladies, the girls were ecstatic as usual. Multiple dress changes, good food, chit chat , (daddy learning about a few new iPhone apps from his friends).. all said and done a great time!
Here is the defining photo for this year's function
En raaasaaaathiiis..

A rock that my friend Maria gave me a long time ago for my 25th Birthday.. has always been lying around in my shoebox... realized that it had the same color as our granite countertop!
This is a composite of 6 shots with f4.0 to f9.0
there will be more subjects and more pictures by sunday.

Have been playing with a free HDR software called FDR Tools Basic. Still trying to get the hang of it.
The basic idea is to get bright and dark parts of an image to work at the same time while creating a three dimensional effect on the photograph by superimposing multiple shots with different exposure compensations into one picture.
Some good examples
a. from AP
b. from google images
c. still forms
The free software is not that easy to play with.. will post some images this friday.
tinkering.. tinkering.. still tinkering...
