Suggest a DSLR

Hi Friends,

It is almost one year I am here in photo blog. As of now I am using compact camera, fuji finepix J120, and planning to get a DSLR to have a taste of more serious photography.

there are many brands in the market with many features out of which mostly i dont understand.

Request you all to suggest a camera+lense so that I can capture decent macro subject as well as fast moving object like flying bird.

Wait for the green...

I was traveling towards Gurgaon from IIT gate, New Delhi… it was just another good day bright with white sun light and cool breeze. In my path, near Chhatarpur Metro station the incredible India, once more, forced me to take my camera out of bag… An Indian elephant is waiting for green signal at a crossing... An incredible wait for green :)

Grace of god!

From the most diverse group of animals....

Insects are the most diverse group of animals on the planet and include more than a million distinguishable species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. The number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million, and potentially represents over 90% of the differing animal sub-kingdoms on Earth. The entire group is a very rich blend of beautiful, colorful and helpful members.

Aren’t they?

No Name...@ M. P. Birla Planetarium, Kolkata

It was July last year... I was there at my home town, Kolkata (Calcutta).
During a nice rainy evening I took shelter at front gate of M.P. Birla Planetarium. It was a real nice experience of being tapped there in the mystical rays coming out of the hanging light...It was amazing.

I found no suitable name for this pic...so it is simply No Name.... What can be more mystical than having no name?

Thanks for spending time @ CLICK!

Rainy day and a story of exploration....

Last weekend was quite rainy forcing me to remain indoor for two consecutive days... soon chatting and story books proved ill-equipped to kill time and I started staring at bathing nature with some romantic thought (may be :P)... then suddenly I found three calves in our abandoned front gate....as the gate was open (thanks to the person who kept it open) three of them entered one by one and gave strange look at everything around ...soon their inquisitive mind forced them to explore the place and one of them started with a plant nearby and then one another....But the third one started with our iron gate... all together it was a lovely show.

what you say?
