My first tiger sighting in wild | Pramod Viswanath

It was 27th day of February 2008 and I was traveling to Mysore ( a city about 140 Kms from Bangalore ) when my friend and a wildlifer - Avinash.K.J called me up to check my schedule for the next day. When I told him about my vacation plans he asked me to join him to a day's trip to the jungles of Bandipur.

Shooting in RAW | Pramod Viswanath

Of late, many prosumer cameras began to support a file format called RAW. For any amateur photographers and beginners, it might sound a little weird about an unknown image format! A format other than JPEG/JPG may sound a little scary to use. Indeed it was the same with me when I started off photography with my first SLR. Those were days when I believed that using a RAW format imposes a substantial overhead on the camera and its internal electronics! Foolishness is what I call it now and I laugh at myself when ever I remember those days.
