The new year dawned in the best possible way for me - to be tagged by my maanaseega blogging-guru PrabhuFerrari! (Ok, technically, he tagged me at the fag end of 2007. But this sounds a whole lot better :) )
Thanks Thalaiva!!
This is what the tag says:
‘All you have to do is select and upload one photo that you have clicked this year that is special to you. Could be anything…aesthetic, technical or personal. Also, put in a short note why it is special’
I'll exploit this opportunity to put up my favos from among the pics I clicked this year before honouring the tag.
Let me begin with "people". I have taken very few pics of people this year, so it has been fairly easy to choose this:

My sisThis pic is special because this was among the first ever shots I clicked when I started controlling camera settings by myself.

Airshow @ Chennai: Sometime in Mar/Apr 2007I love this one because it took too much of an effort from my side to click this right. These machines were flying way too fast(!!). It was very difficult to keep them within the frame.

This pic won me a consolation prize in a photography contest judged by Thotta Tharani.

One more pic that is very close to my heart is that of some crops that I took during my trip to Thirumalpur. That also was put up in the same page I linked to earlier.

Now, on to my S.P.E.C.I.A.L pic of the year:
Mis-focused flower(Click on the pic for a bigger version)
Frankly speaking, this was an error in focussing. I should have rightly focussed on the flower. But the focus ended up on the bark of the tree behind. So this pic should have been deleted at once.
But I retained it because it seemed to say:

With my job done, I pass the tag on to Arvind. Hope he shakes up from his slumber soon!Whether you choose to focus on the beautiful or on the not-so-beautiful is a matter of your own choice

We are witnessing the beauty of nature through your eyes man !!
Amazing snaps !

Nice work!
@ferrari: thalaiva.. unmaiyathan sonnen :)
@neo... the one: "beauty of nature" na, u mean the credit shd go to mother nature and not to me eh? ;) he he..
Actually most of the times it is true.. Anybody can take a great photograph of a beautiful scenery.. One's photographic skills come into play only if and when he/she presents that scenery in an interestingly different way.. Otherwise the bouquets go to nature! (sorry, konjam arutthutaen)
