Last weekend was a full moon day. So what it would be with a camera and a big full moon brightly visible above the head? Here it is :

These were taken with DSC-H2 camera keeping it in Twilight mode with ISO80 and leaving rest of the setting to camera.
Yesterday morning, I found to spot a bird in the backyard garden. For many believers this bird if seen in morning, is a good omen.!


I could not able to find the botanical name for this lovely bird.. if any one knows please leave a comment with the name.
This link lists out a lot of birds found across India, but the list is huge.

I happen to start working on photography techniques and reading study materials from www.nyip.com. Nice course and good stuff to read and try out. I have to do some projects at the end of this course, called 'Professional Photography course' offered by NewYork Institute of Photography.
