Finally I wanted to have a DSLR. A friend and a fellow photographer wanted to sell his Canon 10D, he gave his for a day to test. I grabbed the oppurtunity to shoot some action shoots of flying pigeons and went to my fav place Masjid Wazir Khan.
It was early saturady morning and my boss was happy enough to give me a couple of hours relaxation for the office timings. I again sat on this beautiful sunny morning in the Wazir Khan Masjid to capture the action of pigeons.
It gave me satisfaction and the power in my hand to go ahead and gave vent to my desire to grab a DSLR as soon as possible

Experiencing the Street Photography
Two Year Back...Year 2006, January 15th.
I never had the idea that what this cybershoot and my digital experience would bring me. This 2.1 Mp camera that I bought sometime back has been clinging with me for sometime. I planned out to venture the Masjid Wazir Khan on sunday noon and reached the Masjid Wazir Khan, sitting there silenty observing the pigeons hovering over the age old beautiful architectural wonder by the Mughals.
The pigeons have always been my centre of attraction as you see them closely silenty doing thier day job in carefree manner. The sky was overcasted and hence was enjoying the winter breeze as well the cold wind blowing through the Masjid. Like me very few other people could be seen in the Masjid, some children playing nearby caught my attention.
I have never been fond of taking photos of children as this is not my ultimate subject or to be very honest have never shot them. The two beautiful girls caught my attention, watching me from a distance wat I have been doing. I asked her timidly to sit nearby one of the gates of the Wazir Khan Masjid and there she sat and I clicked.
Keeping in view the very fact that they were my first ever interactions with the street photography and people, I liked the results and the candid expressions. This opened a whole new door for me to venture into the photography more seriously in the time to come.
