Week # 44 / 1 - High ISO

The theme this week is photos with high ISO, 1600 & higher. This was taken at ISO 1600. I usually adjust my aperture and shutter speed for light and use high ISO unless it is absolutely required. Most of the pictures I took with high ISO have lot of noise and try to avoid it. But today was a perfect day to try high ISO. It was a cloudy day and long exposure (slow shutter speed) would require holding the camera sturdy, which I absolutely can not do. High ISO did the trick!

Week # 41 / 1 - Glass

Photographing glass is very tricky. Today I attempted to take a picture of a glass without any reflections on the glass. I was successful to some extent in taking a black-line glass photo (the first pic) without any reflections on it but not a white-line glass photo (second pic). I will try again another day. :)

Oh boy, what a nightmare it is to find a taxi in midtown Manhattan during the evening rush hour! It was my turn after her and unlike her, I was fortune enough to get one very soon.
