Learning DSLR photography–more photos
In: Photography
8 May 2011I am learning more about photography in general and read about some of the geniuses in photography like Ansel Adams. It is amazing that decades back they created some true classics with the limited technology available at that time. It is always inspiring to explore their work.
Please see some of the photos I’ve taken so far. This time I’ve spent some time enhancing the photos as well.

How to stay away from Software Piracy?
6 May 2011
Software piracy is a crime and many of us don’t realize it and use pirated software in our office and home. Whatever may be our reasons, by installing pirated software we’re committing a crime according to the law. Another issue with pirated software is security. All those crack sites and crack files may have some kind of viruses or trojans in it and you may never know whether your personal data is compromised.
Does this really mean we need to buy expensive software and make those software companies more richer with our hard earned money? Not at all. We can really do most of our work without buying any expensive software or worrying about software piracy. All you need to do is explore the web and find alternative software which are free or open source. In this article I will try to list out free or open source software for most of your needs.

Learning Digital Photography
In: Photography
25 Apr 2011In this weekend, I got plenty of time to play with the Canon EOS 550D DSLR camera. As my main aim was to learn, I didn’t use automatic mode and tried to become confident with manual, aperture priority and shutter priority modes. Following are some of the photos I took using the EOS 550D.

Stepping into the world of DSLR photography
In: Gadgets
16 Apr 2011Hooray! Finally bought the Canon EOS 550D (Rebel T2i) Digital SLR camera today and stepped into the world of DSLR photography. Along with a tripod and UV filter, my credit card is charged for 38K (35K for the camera + 2.5 K for the tripod). It is a little more expensive when comparing to the ebay price of 33,200/- (without memory card). But nothing can beat the experience of buying from a shop; especially when it is something that you decided to buy with your heart – Who wants to pay and then wait for a week when you can pay, bring it home and start enjoying instantly.
This is the first item bought from the earlier shortlisted products (Five tech products I would like to buy this year). Though I was planning to buy the Galaxy S2 first, it is rumored that the device won’t be available until mid of May. I couldn’t wait anymore to touch my hands on at least one device from that list and hence made a decision to buy the Canon EOS 550 DSLR now and then wait patiently for the Galaxy S II

Five tech products I would like to buy this year
In: Buying Guides
8 Apr 2011After drooling around many gadgets and other electronic things that ranges from mobile phones to home theater systems, I’ve finalized five products which I will try to buy in this year. I will list the items in the order of priority and the reasons for buying them. Please read through and post your comments and suggestions.
Smart phone : Samsung Galaxy S2
As explained in previous posts, Galaxy S2 is my first priority and I am waiting for this phone. Samsung initially promised it will be available in March and now it is expected to arrive by end of May or beginning of June. The main attractions are the 4.3” Super AMOLED plus screen, Dual core processor (Samsung confirmed that some regions will be getting an nVidia Tegra 2 System on Chip instead of Samsung’s own Exynos SoC. Not sure which version will hit Indian stores), Full HD video recording and playback etc. The latest rumor is, it is going to be 1.2 GHz dual core processor instead of the earlier announced 1 GHz clock speed.
