I had half an hour to kill while i was in San Jose and glad i anticipated that. I had my camera with me. Walked around the block between S.Almaden Ave, Post St, S. San Pedro St and W San Fernando St. Here are some shots from the short and quick photo walk.

Here are some pictures from “Sri Vigneshware Vaibhavam”, a traditional kuchipudi dance drama directed by Smt. Himabindu Challa of Nrityananda School of Kuchipudi dance. This event took place at the Smith Center, Ohlone college at Fremont, CA.
Again, the colors were amazing !
This was something i did about 3-4 yrs back. Water drops on dvds and cd surfaces produced interesting patterns. What makes them more interesting is the different colors you get just by moving the camera a little to the right or left. The angle at which you view the drops dramatically changes the colors on them. and more so if you use a second dvd/cd to reflect some light on it.
The patters get more interesting when you crop the images further. i spent quite a bit of time with the crop tool on these set of images!
Here is the setup shot. (canon 20 and canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens mounted on a tripod and triggered either using a cable release or set on self timer).

In the ‘peacock feathers’ shot, you can see the reflections of the second DVD that actually gives the peacock feather look.
