Vasanthakumar's photostream

I love photography, and of late, I am devoting a lot of time to this latest passion of mine. I shoot with a variety of cameras including Canon 20D, Olympus SP-550 UZ, Canon PowerShot A540, none of which belong to me ;-). Waiting for the day when I could buy a DSLR. I am learning a lot from flickr and its very inspiring and addictive, I should say. Whatever I know about photography, I learnt it from Flickr.
My other interests are playing the keyboard, and learning new instruments - currently practicing drums.





'An amateur photographer friend was invited to dinner and took along a few pictures. The hostess looked at his work and exclaimed, "These are very good. You must have an excellent camera." Later, as my friend was departing, he turned to the hostess and said, "That was a delicious meal. You must have some excellent pots." ' - Simon Evans.


The other day, I was making a list of things that I like in a photograph. Here's a partial list in no particular order...

Silhouettes
Sunrise and sunset
Night photography
Macro photography
candidness
smile
femininity
kids
abstract
architecture
Bokeh
shallow DOF
vignetting

...and the list would never be complete.

Current wish list:
