Where to put your watermark and why??
Think on it...in terms of composition and image balance. Sometimes it is the image which is valuable and sometimes the watermark becomes valuable!! I just wanted to share this thing with all those amateurs like me. :) happy photography!! 

after so many years, we are still layers...

A smiling buddy!

Apparently it seems that these guys, I mean, dragonflies are always smiling!! It's in the face; isn't it? I shot this guy, who was sort of basking in the sunlight for a while. I was amazed by the results produced by my new lens. I always wanted to do nice macro photography and yes, you can see the results over here!

Another trip to Tamhani. This time with a punctured tyre! The machine which helps me to move from one place to another was helpless to move on its own! It was a tiresome walk of 1 km or so...

Just as the mechanic was trying to fix the problem I got curious about the scattered instruments and the dead tyre; got a snap just like that! back home played with the snap...

    I first tried cropping it so that everything comes closer so as to give the picture a kind of tightness; made it black n' white with a sepia tone.

Again adjusted brightness and contrast a lil bit. Then put the picture in PS. There I played with using different filters. Embossing attracted my attention; it was kind of fossilizing the frame!! I like it. Hence I tried it; adjusted the angle so that the picture looks more like a 3D snap; bordered it to make it packed.

  Finished! Can be sold as a book cover! ;-)
