Hello. I am Ramalingam and I am a travel photographer.I am 54 now. I was working in Indian Bank and got voluntary retirement at the age of 43. I love nature in general(Himalayas in particular). Macro photography is my new found hobby. Love to shoot bugs with my macro rig.

I generally use reversed lens technique to capture my macros. I also use Raynox DCR 250 close up add-on lens.
Recently purchased Canon MP-E 65 macro lens.

Macro photography is all about seeing the unseen and knowing the unknown !!!!

    "I have been trying to figure out the definition of a true artist..

    .....The one who sacrifices own life for his passion.
    .....Whose creations are always inspirational to the spectators .
    .....Every piece of art conveys his inner feelings.
    .....Never satisfied with his work, but dedicated to achieve more.
    .....Respects others and humble in front of his audience.

    In my view, Ezhil Sir processes every quality of a great artist.

    He is an ocean of knowledge and I am awestruck by its abundance.
    His creations are like a soothing sea breeze in this turbulent world...

    I consider myself lucky for having known him.

    With true respects,
    GOPAN"

    "Ezhil is a Genius. His work confirms it. One look at his photostream is all that it takes to become an instant fan. His simplicity is his most powerful asset. His photograph speaks in a very straightforward yet powerful way. The way he views the world is so unique and clearly visible through his images. One cannot but stand in awe of this gentleman. Hats off to you sir.

    On a personal note, though I have followed his photo-stream silently, I have gotten to know him a bit more personally in recent times. I value this a lot, as not only does he inspire me with his work, but also gives valuable critique whenever there is a scope for improvement. My only regret is that he is not in the same town as me."

    "Ezil's photo stream opens up like a book of miracles and excellence .
    All of his photos show a high sense of understanding and love for the beauty of his country, of nature, of life and of the things that count. His compositions are extraordinary. His interests vary from portraits over nature photography to macros of certain species in his surroundings.
    Technically perfect he knows about the secrets of photography and applies them so that his oeuvre hits the spectator. Whenever I see one of his photos I am deeply impressed. Ezhil is friendly and social and always comments on other people's photos. He is one of my first friends in the Flickr community. I am proud to know him and I can only recommend a stroll through this fantastic photo stream.
    Regina Siebrecht, M. A."

    "As per his self introduction , you know Mr.Ezhil Ramalingam as a
    travel photographer. But do you know that for the love of photography he had renounced his lucrative Bank Managerial job ?
    A humble person with simple habits and helping tendency,
    his photographic genious he used to conceal. However, after much
    insistance from friends,he began to publish his photo travelogues
    in websites like Worldisround.com,Flickr.com etc..which are drawing
    immense appreciation allover !
    I wish him Godspeed !!"
