March towards the Sunset

March is a month of closings and openings of sorts. The Ugadi, Gudi Padwa, Chetti Chand brings in the New Year. Bankers in India associate March with reconciliation and book closures. NRI CIOs and CEOs in the Silicon Valley consider this a good time for 'restructuring' their IT businesses in India. (Ahem !)



What other opportune time to show off sunsets then?
Nothing close to what one can see in Knysna (West Cape, South Africa) but I consider these good too.

Especially since it applies all the tricks shared by my colleague and friend Michael Kohli.
1. Slower speeds = Better colors.
2. Half-button-press just above the sun and then pan down.
3. Divide landscape into grids and position the objects.
4. 'Wait a few minutes after sunset. That's when the fun begins.' he said.

Indeed !






See two specks here? -->
The big one is a bird and the small one is a plane flying into the sunset.
What one gets out of a 5 MP camera when we pay attention to people.



Each day goes like this... dawn, twilight, sunrise, morning, noon, afternoon, evening, sunset, twilight (again), dusk, night, midnight. TRUE or FALSE?

APRIL SUNSETS: Please bear with my new found obsession. You will agree with me that these colors from the ever-so-simple Nokia N73 are awesome.
