Tum hi ho

Learning how to play this melodious song. I felt its not enough to just know the lyrics by heart and sing it with a karaoke track. The true impact will be to accompany it either with guitar or piano. Since I am more comfortable with a guitar, I thought I will give it a go. It will take a lot of practice to get it right upto performance level. That is the ultimate goal.

Photographic Art    

Its quite a challenge learning compositing and textures for an artsy photo. Multiple treatments with various software in Topaz and Photoshop are applied for that perfect look that satisfies the eyes. Topaz Impression is one of the major editing software for art photos but I have not had much luck to getting it to work on my laptop because of compatibility problems with the graphic card and openGL issues. So, I have used Topaz simplify, glow and detail mainly and do the layering in Photoshop. I am always on the lookout for great textures for the background. I have a few in my growing collection. I have still not used my Intuous tablet for the brush applications because it is kinda inconvenient with a laptop. One of these days, I may get serious enough to use a desktop workstation with the Intuous. Till then, I am enjoying learning new tricks!

Supermoon Eclipse, 9/27/15.

Shot the supermoon with the Sigma lens at 500mm and that too, handheld. I wish, I had used the tripod because it was truly, a breath taking sight. The most beautiful moon and that too, in a rich orange red color, what they call a blood moon. The moon is at the perigree or closest point to earth as it orbits elliptically around it. What made it special was that the full moon coincided with a total lunar eclipse, a one in 20 years event. Unfortunately, since I handheld the beast of 500mm lens, I had to use ISO 6400 and a somewhat longer exposure time of 1/30th sec to 1/10th sec. Lot of noise at ISO 6400.

But, to my rescue was Topaz denoise and Topaz detail with Adobe lightroom contributing to some editing.

'Hurt' by Johnny Cash

Touching song with deep lyrics!

"Hurt"
(originally by Nine Inch Nails)

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Evolution of Photographs

Each photograph evolves over time, sometimes taking days to get it just right. Rarely, does a photograph completely satisfy the photographer. He critics it all the time to get it just right!
