It was a rather uneventful week. And because of that I desperately wanted to go out and shoot some pictures today. Sadly, or rather not so sadly, Lalbagh is the only decent option for early morning walks and shoots. And so I was there, at 7:30, walking shoes, camera and all (did I say early morning?). To my disappointment the sun was quite high above in the sky and smiling gleefully. When he does that, my camera has a problem capturing the dynamic range of a scene.The highlights are usually blown and the colours washed out when it is too sunny. But today I tried to play with light and shade.

So I had fun shooting for about an hour and afterwards headed towards the exit near the East gate. Just then I spotted these two guys with big zoom lenses and tripods near the lake. Clearly, they where shooting birds. Thought I’d just say a hi (was feeling friendly this morn) and walked up to them. And oh man! What attitude they were trying to show! Some guys think that the size of the lens on their camera talks about the size of their you-know-what. And with nose up in the air (not just to spot birds), the only thing they were willing to say was: MINE IS BIGGER THAN YOURS! Ha ha!
