Went to Karims at Jama Masjid today with a few friends. One of them – Harneet – gave me some photography tips, and reminded me of macros. Can’t remember the last time I did something remotely creative; been thinking of trying my hand at painting, or trying to make something of that piece of soapstone I have. Haven’t sculpted for over six years now, and I’m sure my chisel and hammer are either lost or have been thrown away.

Photography seems to be less time consuming a hobby (which is why I switched to writing from sculpting anyway). Here are some photo sets from today:

Thums Up

So, it’s almost a done thing for us to have thums up whenever we meet, lest it’s beer. No it’s not a ‘macho’ thing that the stupid ads portray – Thums Up is the only areated drink I like, though the strange thing is that not many retailers stock it in Delhi.

Food

After we’d eaten our fill, I got that crash course in photography, and I spent the rest of the stay at the restaurant, clicking photographs.

and after that, looking at everything from a macro (photography) perspective, until the battery ran out. The set which these belong to was clicked at CP:

In the background is the inner circle of Connought Place (I refuse to call it Rajiv Chowk (bleh)), where they’ve created a rather nice garden with an open air theatre. The camera battery ran out, so couldn’t take more.

Now everything looks like a macro. Maybe will click photos of flowers in my garden tomorrow, if I get time.

All the macros here.
