I hope to take (and post) one photo every week in the year 2010. This blog contains the photos which I have taken so far. I have completed a photo a week for the years 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Congratulations to me for completing one year of 'A photo a week' blog. I feel proud. Thanks a lot to the people who supported me, especially Renjith John who has been my biggest fan ;-)
All the photos so far have been taken using Olympus C740.
How am I going to reward myself for this achievement? May be with a DSLR and a few good lenses.
I wanted to take a photo like this for a long time. There are multiple layers in this photo and each layer has a different brightness. The farther a layer is from the camera, the more faded it is. This photo was taken from the top of Mount Washington in New Hampshire. A maple leaf on a wood.
This one was taken near Flume George, NH. The fall foliage was at its peak during this week and it was really colourful everywhere in New Hampshire.
There was an event called "Boston arts festival" (ähts) in Boston this weekend. Boston artists and craftspeople exhibited and sold original works of art including paintings, drawings, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, jewelry, fiber, glass, woodwork, mixed media, and photography. Performance areas showcased music theater, dance and family friendly activities that reflected Boston's rich diversity and extraordinary cultural life. People who were interested in painting were given watercolors and paper to try some painting. I also took the watercolor and painted the scene infront of me. After a very long time, I did some water coloring.
I went to Niagara waterfalls this weekend. It was a tour package. We started from Boston on Saturday morning. Reached 1000 islands by 4 PM. 1000 islands is a group of small islands on the border of US and Canada. Since our Bus had a problem we had to wait at that place from 5 to 11 pm. Another bus came at 11 pm and took us to a hotel near Niagara waterfalls. We reached the hotel by 4 am and we slept till 11 am. At 11, we went to the Niagara water falls. We went for the 'Maid of the mist' and 'Cave of the winds' trips which took us closer to the waterfalls. The falls were illuminated at 8:30 PM. We returned from Niagara at 9:30 and reached Boston at 6 AM on Monday.
I took a lot of good photos this weekend, so I am posting more photos this week.
There has never been a day in my life where I have admired the sky so much. I woke up on saturday morning to see a bright and sunny day with a wonderful sky. The sky was very blue with lots of white clouds. So I took a lot of photos with the blue sky as the background, including some photos of mine ;-)
The Inidan community in Boston celebrated India's 59th Independence at Hatch Memorial Shell near the Charles River in Boston. A lot of Indians attended the function.
My favourite photo of this week is the grunge flower.
