ABSTRACT

It was a long time ago, I last posted to this blog. 
As both my friend "Dynamic" and my self became busy with our lives, carreers and other duties, we missed to continue this blog. 
(I have to admit the fact that, I was a bit lazy too.)

Since the time we last posted to this, we have learnt a lot about photography. 
My beloved friend "dynamic" has become a professional wedding photographer now. 

(Well.... myself is still that apprentice who loafs around with the camera in hand.)

However, with time i have developed a huge interest in Macro and Abstract photography, so that i thought of posting some of my macros to start over.
If this be an inspiration to "Dynamic" to be active in 'blogging' again, I would be joyous.

Along with the previous capture, I found some different composition. Organizing team of the beach party of Netstarter were early. We were enjoying the sunset.

What I saw was not only me, sunset has made some of the guests to enjoy.. Because I thought, this photo will tell us a deep story, I tried my IPod to take the snapshot!

Sunset at Mount Lavinia

Sunset is always beautiful. Sometimes its more than beautiful, awesome. There are some other times, it gives an extra ordinary beauty where we cannot take our eyes away.

We were at the party organized by New comers to the Netstarter Pty. Ltd. (Including Me) at Steam Boat, Mount Lavinia, Sri Lanka. I needed to preserve what I saw. Unfortunately, I had no DSLR nor SLR nor Point and Shoot only my IPod Touch. Even if its not impressive at photo shooting, I thought I should try with it. This is what I got.

Heavenly Sunset! Couldn't wait without capturing it. IPod Touch saved my day!

Sun shades the bushes - Anavilundawa

Anavilundawa (AKA Anawilundawa) is a brids santuary in Sri Lanka.

So many birds, nature full lakes and bushes and silence of a true calmness is always possible at Anavilundawa.

We went there to take a moment of rest for our busy lives...

Among dozens of birds, Still the beauty of a bush was not avoidable at all!

Behind the 'Yala' Borders - 02

The beauty is worth composing more. Everywhere is something that refreshes our messy minds. Here's another perspectives I could capture.

By the way, I'll take my chance to 
wish you all a happy 2013!

Behind the 'Yala' Borders

It's always amazing to see through the lens, which narrow down our scope to see only what matters. Its proven to myself once again in the journey we went to the sacred Kabaliththa. 

First we worshipped Sacred Kiriwehera, Katharagama Dewalya then travelled through a lengthy route to Kotiyagala. This is where we got our comfortable 4+ wheel drive (A Tafe Tractor). On the way to the borders of Yala, so much beauty and dust grabbed us.

Covered by the dust, stillm the passing beauty could easily capture me. Using Samanala's Camera (A friend of mine - music and nature lover) I tried to paint it on to the image Sensor.

Some images are listed here, not in the shooting order. Always the nature is a wonder, that what matters!

Wish I had more time to be in that freedom!
