Chaayachitra !


Chaayachitra - or shadow art [ Indian term for Photography, though photography is to do with light not with shadows]. Well this photo says it all. I literally took the photo of this butterfly against the light, thus getting only a nice silhouette. The photo was not taken in this manner intentionally, but came out well ! This fellow had wandered off into the bus in which I was traveling.The bus had of course stopped [for a short break, and everyone except me had got down]. Took this oppotunity and tried my hand and interior butterfly photography. Will put up the butterfly photos soon !

Now you see me- now you dont !




This moth was posing as a part of the bark of this small tree in Chickamagalur. Saw it before darkness, or else I would not have been capture him. One hell of a disappearing act I must say !
