I am an amateur photographer. I like to dabble in photography as a leisure time activity. Although I'm seriously thinking of moving from my compact camera to a D-SLR.

Currently, I'm a Ph.D. student at IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India.

Q: How do you use my photographs on Flickr?
A: I have placed all my photographs under the Creative Commons (CC) License. You can use them on your webpage, blog, anything else (except any material that promotes either vulgarity or pornography or criminal tendencies or hatred or any thing else illegal as defined by the law of your country)

Q: Why do I keep my photographs under the CC license?
A: All the photographs taken here are about the stuff that either nature has given or were made by someone else. Even if I have prepared or bought any of the stuff photographed, it was for my consumption and nothing special was done for the photograph. It is out there for everybody to see. If seeing those events doesn't cost me anything, why should the photographs have a copyright? But since I have taken the efforts to click those images, I would like some credit to come my way.

My current photography equipment: Mostly Nikon Coolpix S4 and occasionally Panasonic Lumix DMC LZ8.

Note: I would appreciate that you send me an e-mail message, if you intend to use any photograph(s) displayed here. If hosted online, forward me the link to the page that hosts the image. If you intend to use my photograph for a print version, let me know the details about the publication too. You can e-mail me at: v i n a y b 8 1 [at] g m a i l [dot] c o m
