Final random shot from last evening – Double flame.
Yet another random shot from last evening – Can you guess why it is so grainy
Here is Nikita riding her new bike last evening. The graininess of the photo is not due to rains or lack of light. It is actually a photo of the reflection off the pool. (Our pool surface is not white but a mosaic of tiny spots – don’t know what you call them). To see how it looked originally, you have to turn it upside down.
Another random shot from last evening : Southwest plumes
From the colors, this is a Southwest plane. Here is funny part. Southwest does not fly this equipment out of Atlanta. They fly the equipment from their purchased airline company AirTran. So the nearest airport that this plane could have taken off from is Birmingham, AL. Which would mean it was at least 25,000 feet high if not already in its cruising altitude of 30,000+. Very good clarity for a 300 mm lens. The absolutely clear sky helped a lot. The naked eye would have had difficulty locating the plane if not for the plumes and the sound.
Speaking of the plumes, it is interesting how they seem to originate from the tail. In reality, it is the water vapor coming out of the two engines under the wings condensing and most likely crystallizing immediately in those sub zero temperatures. The microsecond time gap of the colorless vapor crystallizing to white ice particles (white because of the air trapped in them) is just enough to create the illusion that it is the tail that is generating the long plumes!!
Random shots from last evening – Moon
Wish every weekend evening was like this..
Another hectic week. Another weekend. If I had my way, every weekend would be like this. Sitting outside with all the necessary ingredients – Sharmila, her parents, Pinot Noir, the citronella lamps, the camera and iPhone to capture the moments and songs from the iPhone. As you can see from the last picture , everybody listened to songs well into the night….
