Work, ISB and new stuff

Work’s pretty much put a halt to photography so I’m thought i’ll start writing about other stuff now…

Work has started to become extremely busy – I haven’t had a single day’s break in the last 10 days now – nope not even Sunday and Dussehra! Its fun though, lots of challenges…

Been getting a chance to meet up with a lot of ISB alumni and current students when they head down to Apollo. It was also great to be back to ISB for the dandiya night. A lot of people from our batch turned up so it was great. (Got a chance to dust off my camera, will post the pics soon!)

I’ve also decided to start blogging about new interesting stuff that I read/find on the Net/etc. Look forward to that…

Back to work and an update on the last 3 months

Finally a magical year of studying (and fun!) is coming to an end. It’s time to go back to the work-force and tomorrow I start my new job as DGM-Operations at Apollo Hyderabad. Sounds exciting enough!

The last 3 months were great fun. Saloni & I were in the US, supposedly on an exchange programme to the Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College! Well I did study and passed all my courses but we had a lot of fun too.

Dartmouth is in one little corner of the US. While the area was beautiful and the university itself was a lot of fun, we got bored pretty soon. So we went around most of the US and had a fun time. We visited NY, DC, Boston, Vegas, Niagara Falls, Orlando, Philly, Baltimore, Atlantic City, New Jersey & Connecticut (phew!). I don’t think we’re gonna have such a holiday for a long long time now. As usual there was a ton of photography and you can see the pics on my Flickr page.

And did I mention that I bought some stuff for my camera?! 😉

I bought a Nikon 18-135mm lens and a SB-400 flash. The flash works great and my indoor photos have started coming out great. The lens I bought just before leaving the US and haven’t had the time to really put it through its paces. I’ll have some good shots soon.

For now its back to ISB where we’re shacking up with Sona and enjoying the rainy weather. House-hunting in Hyderabad had been a pain and its been one week with hardly any results. I hope this weekend is more fruitful.

A nice sunset

Student Village 3 at sunset

Here’s a nice photo I clicked during a recent sunset. I am beginning to use more features of my D50 now. Just being able to experiment and see the results instantly is the most awesome thing.

For this photo I used spot metering to get the orange sky just right and post-processed the RAW in Adobe Lightroom. Lightroom too is an amazing piece of software and, since it is in Beta, totally free! Give it a shot.
