Flowers on Angel’s Rest trail. A very popular hiking spot in the beautiful Columbia Gorge. It was a damp rainy day in the middle of summer. That’s why you see water droplets on the flower. I liked this flower for the striking colors. Shot with Nikon D80 with Nikon 18-200mm VR lens. No modifications besides cropping.

Isha handed the ‘Harry Potter’ glasses to Shriya and I asked her to make faces and she did! The photo you see here is verbatim as it came out of the camera, no changes necessary. The Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens is a bargain! Shot with Nikon D90 and Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens.

Wall graffiti in Temple Bar are in Dublin, Ireland. This blue and yellow graffiti on a building corner almost looked like it was glowing under the sodium vapor lights. I was able to get a sharp picture at 1/8s shutter speed with the 18-200mm VR lens. It’s very rare to get a sharp picture at such a slow shutter speed. I was just lucky. I have used ‘high key’ filter to enhance the effect of blue paint.

Iconic Glacier National Park photo. Very popular tourist spot. Sad part for me was that there was absolutely no snow left on the mountain peaks by this time in Summer. Shot with Nikon D90 with Nikon 10-24mm lens. Brilliance/Warmth filter used to enhance warm colors.

Sunset at the Flathead Lake. We were taking a cruise in the lake while this photo was taken with Nikon D90 and Nikon 18-200mm VR lens. I have used a Brilliance/Warmth filter to enhance the orange glow in the sky and also done some retouching to adjust the color of the sky.
