Beautiful “Sundarban”
I grabbed this pic from my archive after a long time. It was shot in Sundarban. “Sundarban” can be literally translated as “beautiful forest”. The name may have been derived from the Sundari found in Sundarbans. It is hard to portray the real beauty of this largest Mangrove Forrest of the world in photos. This shot was taken in the very early morning. One of the best tome to feel is aesthetic beauty. Sundarban is also famous for the “Royal Bengal Tiger”. It was recorded on Fuji Film 200 using a Canon EOS 500N and 28-80 mm f/3.5-5.6 lens.
Feet of Hope
Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) is a comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation centre located in Savar Bangladesh. Founded by British physiotherapist Valerie Taylor in 1979.
I have visited CRP as a volunteer of our surgical team. We operated on number of cases suffering from bed sore. These photographs provide a glimpse of regular lifestyle in CRP. Valerie is a remarkable lady. Her hospitality and generosity is something the keeps CRP running

Lowepro Compuday Photo 250 Review
Finding a satisfied man with his camera bag is rare. I am not saying such a person doesn’t exist, I just have not met one yet, including me! I prefer to buy used camera bags than new ones. Because you buy then cheap, then sell them without losing much. All these years I owned numbers of camera bags. None of them satisfied me completely. Having bought and used so many bags, my honest opinion is, “one bag fits all” doesn’t exist. Life will be a lot easier if you look for a bag that serves you most in your usual shooting style. The quest for the perfect bag is one of the biggest challenge for a photographer. Often we end up buying multiple bags, managing those bags is a big time headache.
Making Of A Camera Lens
We always use lenses of various kind but ever wondered how a lens is being made. Recently I had an opportunity to go through the manufacturing process of a lens company. Who makes lenses for some renowned brand we all know like Hoya, Fuji, Kenko and so on.

California
It was shot near Big Sur, California in a recent roadtrip just after the sunset using Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM Lens . It was really cold and windy. So I had to use my tripods to get a steady shot in this long exposure. Because I wanted to keep my shutter long enough to get the sureal look of the waves and really cool bluish tone
Exposure: Aperture 20; Shutter 15 sec; ISO 200, Focal Length 144 mm.
Odd ways of Macro photography
The standard tool of macro photography is a Macro lens. That what the book says. But I learned to achieve high magnification when i didn’t had any standard tool. However they are unlikely to generate good result but its always fun to do something new.
