Object Photography - Close up

I love taking photographs, that's the only thing which can get me up from my bed at anytime during night. I have been taking normal photographs from digital Sony T77 and have been recently hooked upon exploring it's few close up tools to take pictures of objects. Though my Sony T77 is not a high level DSLR camera but it works well for an amateur like me.

Let me share few of my photographs taken from it. There is few Google Picasa effects added to highlight. Hope you all like it.

Life is like bubble. Handle with care.

It's raining

There are two sides of life. It depends upon which side you choose and live it.

Can human match computers in multitasking?

I was eagerly waiting for a session on "Multitasking" and was wondering how they will train me on "How to do Multitask" jobs. My expectation from the session was that I would be able to do more task at a time with perfection like computers. For example a computer can open another application file while we are browsing internet and at the same time there is some processing going on at the background for expected result. Human too tend to do multitasking jobs like watching a movie and parallel speaking on the phone. The point here was how effectively we do multitask job. I personally cannot do multiple jobs as I am firm believer of doing one job at a time with perfection. I have read that women can handle more multiple jobs than men as they have been handling multiple expectations of family members and trying to fulfill at the same time.

Multitasking

After attending the session my take away from the session was prioritizing rather than multitasking. We cannot perform multiple task effectively hence we need to prioritize our multiple jobs such that you give effective results. Also you while prioritizing you need to drill down the task and compare it with below matrix.  The task which comes to you need to be fitted in one of the quadrant depending upon the nature of task and it’s  weightage in your life.

             Urgent                    Not Urgent

Quadrant  I Deadline Meetings	Quadrant II Preparation Planning Self development
Quadrant  III Interruptions	Quadrant  IV Time waster

 Important

Not Important 

The above quadrant will help you prioritize your task in effective way.

Even when you command the computer to do multiple task it tend to slow down and gives error same way when a human tend to do multiple jobs he might not be able to give best results if he would have done the task one at a time. Hence personally I conclude here that human beings cannot do effective multitasking jobs but can prioritize task to give best results. 

Looking for Solitude

Ahmedabad is one of the most prosperous city of Gujarat. Gujarat is known for it's good state governance by Shri Narendra Modi. It has progressed from a mid level city to a mega city. City is now busy proving itself against other metro city's by building Big Malls, Tall buildings, Townships, Commercial hubs and so on. It's difficult to find a place where you can be yourself but still it's not impossible. If you are ready to travel few kilometers then you will find yourself in midst of nature in a place called Thol, situated approximately 45 Kms. from Ahmedabad railway station. It is a bird sanctuary with fresh water lake and more than 100 species of birds. 

You can catch up early morning sun rise and spend few hours with your camera and the place will rejuvenate your inner soul. 

It's heaven for amateur and professional photographers. Natural habitat of this place is it's uniqueness and hence you need to bring along water, tea and few homemade snacks if you intend to stay for more than two hours. 

Few quick notes, 

1. Make sure you do not drag your car too much inside the area as you can get stuck and may require assistance to pull your car in muddy areas specially in rainy season. There is a parking space available once you enter the sanctuary after paying entry fees. You can park and walk around easily. 

2. Do not make noise as to avoid any noise pollution as you need to remind yourself that it's a bird sanctuary.

3. On the way back to Ahmedabad you can find to refreshment dhabha type hotel at a place called Rancharda village which serves good tea, samosa, gota, khaman etc.. Typical gujju's delight. 

4. Travel by bike or cycle can be a real adventurous trip.

What are you waiting for? Getup early on Sunday and reach the place before sunrise. 

Here are few images which may motive to reach the place.

Hi All, 

   I was desperate to have a blog of my own from a long time but was not able to give shape to it. Sometimes it is important to initiate and realign yourself on the way. The topics may vary as currently there is nothing concrete in mind except this post to be posted.  Looking forward to successful blogging and wishing myself best luck !!
