The Sky never ceases to amaze me...

GOOD MORNING !!!!!!! 

As always let's start the day on a good note...

Today I'm not writing much. I will share with you all some photos of the sky that I took from my old room before moving from there. I should say that the sky looks really wild and beautiful and all of the photos are taken on 18th Feb, 2017 between 17:15 hours and 17:30hours. The sky looked beautiful with the clouds floating and taking different shapes. And I took these photos with my Sony Xperia C5 Ultra Dual Sim smartphone and I'm really impressed by the camera again and again 💕💕💕

Have you people also kept looking at the sky while it kept moving, floating and changing? Have you been mesmerized by the wild sky? Do let me know what you think about my photos of wild sky...

Luv,

@ Al Ghurair Center

Good Morning 😊

Let's start our day with a being a little Grateful for all that we have in our life...

I'm thankful that I woke up today and I'm Alive. I also thankful that I have a loving family and quite close friends... There are times when I forget that I'm a lot luckier than many others because of all these blessings, but today I'm thankful for all the people in my life and for the facilities that I have.... I am also thankful for all the love and support that I have.....

Let us be thankful for all the little things we have in our lives.... 💓🙌

The below photos are taken with my always buddy smartphone camera- my love my Sony Xperia C5 Ultra Dual sim phone. I'm glad that it turned out well and I hope you people will like it too.

22nd May, 2017 was a happy day for me. I met a dear friend after almost 10 years. I was very happy that he tried to find me, while I was trying to play the hide and seek game. I had my own very reasons to stay away from him and he had his reasons to find me. Finally we met and resolved a lot of misunderstandings and confusions. At least that's what I think. I hope he too thinks that way. We met and had some food and cold drinks. We walked around Al Ghurair Center and then parted ways. I took the below photos while leaving and I was happy I found the whole place beautiful. It has been a long long time since I went to Al Ghurair Center and the place have been renovated and expanded some time back. It looks nowhere to the place that I have in my memories from few years back. The renovated shopping mall looks so very vibrant and lively with a lot of people all over the area, lots of branded shops, food court, cinema area and much more.

I liked the interior of the mall and you know the kind of happy-happy feeling when you get to see the beautiful sky through large glass ceiling in an oval shape. The sky just looks beautiful however or wherever it is...

These photos are nothing special, but just what I happened to capture around that time there. Let me know what you think. I look forward to meet my Special Friend again...

Guys I'm sure many of you have been to this place. What do you think of this shopping mall? Have you noticed the sky through this oval glass ceiling? Were you ever lost in thoughts looking at the sky from here. Shall we share our experience here? I would like to hear from you all...

Falling in love with each step...

Hi Guys 😊,
Let's start the day with some Love...

As I saw them walking I thought being in love is a wonderful thing... Falling in love with each and every step, it should be a divine feeling... Walking in the same direction and looking at the same direction... this must be love...

Did I forget how it was being in love? Maybe I was not so deep in loving someone? Maybe someone failed in their love for me? Why do I have an empty feeling?

This feeling called LOVE did I lose it somewhere around in my journey? What if I'm exhausted with all those dramas around me? Did I let go of it somewhere along the path? I'm not so sure. It's just that I feel lost...

Another version of my street clicks (Can this be counted as street photography??). Experts and newbies in this genre kindly let me know your thoughts on this. I know I have to work hard on this...

A song came to my mind looking at these photos. The song titled "HEAVEN" from the Korean drama "GOBLIN". Click on the links to listen to the song on youtube and to know more about the drama 😉😈

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time...

there was a bridge like this near my home.

Crossing this bridge was frightening as it would shake with every step, but still exciting. During heavy rains when the water level of the river rises this bridge would be swept away with the water flow and the people will have to rebuild it again.

Now this bridge is a memory to all of us because now a high, mighty and wide concrete bridge stands here instead of this wooden bridge.

Stairway to...

Hey All ✋😉,

Let's start yet another beautiful day with a good thought...

As if I'm in a dream... A place that came out of a dream... A nostalgic feeling... Calm and peaceful...

This photo was taken near our home back in Kerala. This is only one side of the river. the opposite side too have similar stairs. During summer the water levels goes really low that we can walk and cross this river. It feels really really good to be here...

Xperia Experiments

Hi Friends 😊,

Let's start the day with some Positive Thoughts...

Guys as you all know by now my best Camera buddy is my Sony Xperia C5 Ultra Dual Sim Smartphone with the best Primary Camera- 13 MP, f/2.0, 25mm, autofocus, LED flash. And its features include Geo-tagging, touch focus, face/smile detection, panorama, HDR If you want to know more about this smartphone see here

Furthermore it helps in taking macro photos. So obviously I wanted to test the functions and features. I have the habit of picking up flowers or stones which I see along my walking path around my room or office. And I happened to pick some Royal Poinciana / Gulmohar (commonly know like this in our native). As many of you residing in Dubai and other places already know that during April-May months, specially during summer months these trees are in full bloom and can be found in most parks and road sides. The flowers have orange-red colored petals. The whole flowered trees are a great sight to the eyes. 

Know more about these flowers here

Now moving onto my macro shots with a smartphone. I didn't get to pick the whole flower, but only the withered flower with the Anthers and somewhat thick petals/sepals (I'm not sure if this is the right wording. Kindly correct me if anyone know the exact word for this).

I took these photos on 20/5/2017 and 21/05/2017. And here I'm just trying to test my phone camera Macro shots features and I think it captures the details pretty well. I adjusted the colors and effects wit Pixlr Express. The colors were captured well, except that few photos were taken on low light. I think the lines and colors and the fur like substance on the filaments were captured well too. And the bokeh background looks good too. And the anthers are pretty clear and visible. I guess the overall performance is of good quality for a smartphone to take macro photos. 

Guys do check it out and let me know what you think about it. Help me out with your tips and tricks to better photo taking. All and any positive comments are critiques are always welcome. 

I took photos of these same flowers using my Huawei Honor 5X and will share those in a different post. 

Stay blessed and happy friends...

Flowers...

Hi All 😊,

Let's start the day with a thoughtful quote...

Image Courtesy: Google Images

Today I will share with you all few flower photos that I took while I went to Kerala for vacation. A lot of things happened during this vacation and never was there a more painful vacation than this one. I won't be able to forget the things that happened and at times I keep remembering those painful moments. Even so thanks to those painful events I keep getting stronger...

I used my then Smartphone to take these photos. You can see my PhotoBlog of this post here
