Wake Up, before it is too late … Last November (2012) got a chance to get up the Space Needle at Seattle. It is one of the best places to get the amazing city view of Seattle. Given the season and altitude, the chillness was quiet expected, but the night being so crisp and clear was a pleasant surprise. As I was going up, I was cursing myself to have left the tripod at home. Luckily I was at least carrying the gorillapod and it turned out to be a blessing. The odd shape of the fencing at the watching balcony renders the tripod useless, unless you are using a long zoom. The gorillapod just snug to the rails and helped capture the nightscape in all its glory. I was pretty surprised on how much details my nifty canon 10-22 mm lens was able to capture - if ur keen u can read the apartment names & ‘now leasing’ ads complete with phone numbers :) The lower Temperature (one of the key setting you can play with when shooting RAW) aided in enhancing the bluish futuristic glow. Though I like the beauty of the night lights, for some reason, this shot reminds me of the aimless pursuits that we manage to partake in our daily lives, systematic yet chaotic, with a goal but not knowing what next, so focused on the destination that we forget all about the journey … Wake Up before it is too late - oh well may be it is just me !!!
Think Less, Live More It has been almost a month of hiatus from the blog. One of the longest in the last three years. I was just thinking too much about life directions, goals and where it is headed towards. Working towards the goal is starting to seem much easier than identifying the right one ! It was kind of going into a rut taking most of my focus and energy, so this is for myself – Think Less, Live More :) And some wishing to rebound and get in the groove of sharing my moments on a weekly basis going forward. U have a great day and lovely weekend ahead !!!
The Last Rays of 2012 On the eve of the new year, It was a lovely drive back from Bandon right along the Pacific coast 101. When it was not raining , it was out right overcast and or misty, giving a dreamy feel to the drive. We never thought there would be any chance of enjoying a sunset on such a day. But as always, things are not what they seem … Just around 4 PM, the entire mood started to change. The clouds started to roll over & break out to create a euphoria of colors. As sun set here behind the pacific northwest it was indeed kicking off the new year in the other side of the world, sounds funny :) I present to you the last rays of 2012 !
