The Best of What's Around (Until 2019)

Hello everyone!

This page (Part 1 of 3) is an easy solution to share "The Best of" pictures I have captured over the years.

Cologne along the Rhine

In trying to curate all the photos, I realized that it might be better to break this singular page into multiple parts, probably around 3 or more, just to make it more digestible. This first page is a collection of my favorites until 2019, which includes photos up to my first visit to Europe.

Here is part 2



This is among the first photo I took with a proper camera. 
EXIF data shows the date of December 2013, so that is almost 10 years ago.



When I got my first additional lens, EF-S 55-250mm IS II


Backyard Peacock, is somehow my most famous(?) photo as per Google


Around 2015 is when I started messing about with Lightroom and photo editing properly

My first accidental Milkyway shot. I had only the kit lens and no Tripod, and I had this view only from a closed window. Heavily processed, obviously.

Farmers Market, Chandigarh. For some reason, my phone decided to streak all the lights. It looks nice.

Making the party room (Theory Post)

Remember when I said, "sooner than you expect?" Well, this post here is a tutorial, like my RasPi lighting system. Actually, its more of an extension to that project really, since I am using the same LED Strips I got back then. Only now, they are properly mounted. So what is different now?  Have you ever been fascinated by those disco lights? Ones that change their color and intensity according to the song that is being played? I bet you have. I bet some of you even wanted those in your room. I know because I wanted one. But those system, don't come cheap. And I'm already on a shoestring budget, pretty much always. The cheaper solution is (pretty much) always to make your own. And hence, I turned to Arduino, the nifty little microprocessor. The Arduino Nano. There are many versions available. The Uno being the most popular. You can use the Uno or the Nano. They have the same processors, but the Nano is easier on the breadboard. Basically, What I nee...

Dead Wishes of The Optimist

So... For once in a millennium, Blogger will be graced with a post by yours truly within the promised time frame in the last post. That really does happen very rarely. Almost as rare as the lone Russian guy/girl who stumbled upon this blog at the exact moment I chose to call Putin a "pimmel". At least I hope that you have access to an open internet with multiple sources of verified news, so you are at the very least aware of what is happening and why the situation is critical. Enough jibber-jabber. This post would also be more of an expressionist kind of deal rather than a tutorial or science thing. When I was traveling during the Omicron wave to India in December, I had thought I would try to vlog Casey Nesitat's style. In retrospect that was too ambitious of a goal. So the only thing that I ended up documenting was the train journey from Delhi railway station to Chandigarh, and even that was not exactly easy because of the timing situation with the flight and the train....

Jewel of the Summertime - (2022 edition)

I don't even know where or how to start the post this time. So I'll just start off with a bit of news that proves we are being governed by idiots, and it's not just annoying, it is dangerous. https://www.cnet.com/news/privacy/india-orders-vpn-companies-to-collect-and-hand-over-user-data/ And, it's not just India. Apparently, in an effort to block TikTok, the US is also rolling out a bill that is way overpowered and straight-up ill-conceived for a neutral internet. https://www.vice.com/en/article/4a3ddb/restrict-act-insanely-broad-ban-tiktok-vpns Moving on... For the people who are waiting for an update on the braiding robot thing, I would have to, unfortunately, disappoint you again, for now at least, as I am still not 100% sure what I can publish into the public domain without affecting the IP / critical rights of the project. But, once I am certain I have the required clearance, then I would definitely like to share the work that has gone into it. If nothing else, it ...
