    The Atrium at ISB is sort of the common gathering space. ISB does not have great looking buildings, but in some places the lighting is superb.

    Here are two pictures of the The Atrium. Cant choose between the B&W and color Images

    The recent photowalk we went to Thiruninaravur, a small town outside Madras by train. 

    20120318-_mg_0002

    The above image is taken in the train. I love the shallow Depth of field the 50mm F1.8 allows. Also the short focussing range. 

    One of the things I like shooting are street houses. Often it ends up at times in invading other peoples privacy.

    Saw this Middle aged man and his son sitting on the thinnai and engrossed in their reading. The Thinnai in an integral part of traditional houses 

    20120318-_mg_0089-2

    And of course the interesting thing about traditional houses is that all the doors were aligned to a straight line. And if all the doors were open, from the main door one can catch a glimpse of the backyard.

     This again is the reason I love the 50mm F1.8. The lovely shallow Depth of field.

    And on that day there was a temple procession. Which obviously involved musicians, some of their instruments inside the temple

    I like the clarity and options of the 50mm F1.8. Couple of shots I shot using that lens.

    20111120-_mg_0129

    Shot the above picture somewhere in Royapuram. I think its a part of Dare house. 

    20110821-_mg_0012

    Shot this in the Chepauk Palace which now houses the PWD headquarters. Typical Govt office. 

    20111120-_mg_0059

    Shot a pic of this man who willingly posed in the Royapuram Railway Station unloading wheat from a goods train.

    One of the things I like about street photography is that it allows me to caputre street life. Here are a couple of shots I took during the last photowalk.

    Shot this picture of a homeless man on First Lane Beach during the last photowalk. Shot this in a hurry before the man could realise I was clicking him, so his feet is cut off from the image. Not to happy with it but still posting it.

    This man was sitting on his door step and busy working, Oblivious to the flash mob of photowalkers armed with cameras taking pictures. Loved the orange shirt and orange background.

    But I still cant decide between the black & white or colour image.
