B&W Paper Basket

This shot is of my paper basket, backlit by a desklamp (diffused with some printing paper).

Converted to black and white to make the texture and lines more prominent.

B&W Reflected Spider

A photo of a spider running atop my desk.  

In my opinion, the spider's reflection on the glass surface is what made this image interesting. Moreover the light foreground contrasting with the black background somewhat helps to put the interest on the spider.

My first digital photograph ever

While going through my photo library I found this photo, the first digital photo that I ever snapped.

At that time I owned a 2 megapixel camera. I professionaly used the digital zoom thus ended up with a degraded image.

Milestone

One of the snaps I shot while driving...

During some mornings, these areas near Burmarrad are blessed with fog.

It is a bit noticeable on the back of the photo.

Pigeon hitching a ride on the ferry

On my way back home I came across this pigeon who seemed to enjoy staying on the ferry rails and enjoy the view.

Tried some filters on this shot to make the image a bit different.

Goju-No-To (Five Storied Pagoda) Malta

While on an unplanned visit to San Anton Gardens (Malta) I snapped some photos with my phone.

This one is a Goju-No-To (Five- Storied Pagoda) presented as a gift from the manufacturers of Takaoka, Japan and the Japan Cherry Blossom Association in 1970.

A dramatic view I will never forget

As the sun was setting I saw this dramatic sky, I grabbed my camera and tripod and went out to take the photo.  Only when I was looking at it on my computer did i realize that this view will be soon obstructed from my room with the new building taking place.  So though it might not be a great photograph, for me it is still of great value.

Hope you enjoy it like I do.  Only editing that was done is some vignetting and minor curve adjustments.
