I don’t think I’ll be able to manage two blogs! Too much work.. So moved all the posts and comments to my good ol’ blog.. I’ll be posting right here from now on..

With the DSLR mania on, I found a new specimen for my experiments. Remember those cute little aroma-therapy boxes you’ve seen near the billing counter of Shopper’s Stop. Well I’d got one of those a couple of months back. Yesterday when I was turning my house upside-down for a WW pic, I found it!
Here is a pic of the whole box, along with its contents. Isn’t the little elephant cute? And the wax flower ?
I really liked the texture of the wooden box, and the cute elephant. After a bit of tries I got this one. I really like how the texture of the box is completely in focus at the tip, and then gradually blurs out.
Similar to the Ganesha pic, only a bit of post-processing was done to enhance the colours, using the levels tool from Gimp.
I also wanted to see how the last image would look in B/W. So I converted it using Gimp -> Colors->Desaturate by Luminosity. Here is that version.
Do let me know your thoughts on the pics!
A WOW !!! A Big WOW !! Love the cutie elephant and the rose is damn pretty. 🙂
Love that technique of focus at the tip of the box and blurring away to the end. 🙂
Great Piyu, am impressed dear. 🙂
Aww… thank you soooo much Uma 😀 :D.. you are so sweet!
Lovely, Piyu! Especially loved the 2nd snap, like you said, the tip is so sharp, while the rest of the block is blurred! Nice stuff! 🙂
I am thinking of starting photography seriously. Soon. One day.
Thanks Preeti! Ohh, you too.. that great.. hop on soon 🙂
I like the 2nd one. good use of the bokeh effect 😀 Everyone around me seems to be bitten by the photography bug 😀 but don’t neglect your main blog ok? 😀
Thank! You should blame her for that.. Once I started visiting her site.. I was hooked!
So nice of you to say that 🙂 :), ofcourse I won’t..
That’s a mind-blowing site! Pure awesomeness. Is it possible to take such photographs?!! May be I should try 😀 Thanks for the link Piyu 😀

Thanks for giving out details Piyu. Good for novice people like me. 🙂
:O you a novice.. You pics are amazing!!! Aap mujhe sharminda kar rahin hai BMji 🙂
Absolutely novice. I hardly do any image processing to my fotos. but I am learning. Will try out the effects you mentioned on some images. 🙂
and you make me feel old with “ji” ** sob ** 😛
Hehe.. the ji was out of respect for your lovely snaps!
Glad to know my posts are getting you interested in post-processing 🙂
Second snap all the way! Love the way it moves from the blur to such a sharp image! 😀 I am no expert to give echnical comments, but the pics are nice! 😀
