Babak Tafreshi is the winner of the 2009 Lennart Nilsson scientific photography contest. NewScientist has some of his shots on display on their website. The shots are beautiful and depict the night sky in a way that most city dwellers may never have seen before.

I’ve been planning on learning more about astrophotography. I’ve got everything thats required so maybe I’ll take a shot at it the next time I’m in Mysore.

I’ve really started enjoying the posts at New York Times photojournalism blog called the Lens. There are some really great shots on there along with the stories behind the shots. Many interviews with photographer who have shot images of great importance in the world that we live in.

Makes for a great read and I also get to see some work by people I might not have heard of before.  Definetely worth a glance for anyone interested in photography of any form.

Well my images of the Royal Challenger Cheerleaders seem to really be in demand. I’ve managed to get my photographs published in two magazines in Bangalore, 080 and Explocity. The first is a lifestyle magazine for Bangalore city and the other is a city guide.

Also my photographs have been used in a photo feature on http://www.starboxoffice.com/. Here is the link (http://www.starboxoffice.com/gallery/sbogallery.aspx?aid=268) to that website if any of you are interested in visiting the website.

Well I guess good things come to those who wait. I’ve been waiting for my DSLR for a long time and the amount of stuff I’ve managed to do since getting it has really pumped me up and made me even more confident that I was.

Thanks again to all those who read my blog and check out my website. Special thanks to those who visit my website and leave comments. I really appreciate it and I hope I can keep making you  come back to look at all that I have to offer.

Wow thanks for the great response to the website from all my friends and their friends I’ve managed to get some good hits in the first week itself. Also the photographs of the cheerleaders seem to have got me a ton of attention too.

A friend of mine at MyBangalore.com asked me if they could use my photographs for the article that they were going to write about the cheerleaders. So I gave them 4 of my images and also got photo credit for all of them in the article that she wrote. You can go to this link to read the article: Royal Challengers Bangalore Cheerleaders Unveiled

Well things seem to be going well so far. I hope to have many more images up on this website soon. There’ still a lot of places I need to travel to and bring back memories from so just biding my time for now.

Peace.
