meet the balloon head, javazone09

There was a circus show in the beginning of two day javazone conference.. the most funny and amazing was.. ballonhead man.. he let himself completely inside the balloon.

and yes.. only himself inside.. not his pants.. :P

and crazy jumping after taking his pant back from inside, but ooooopss.. thats the way to turn balloon into cloth.


And some dangerous chainsaw juggling.. i was kinda scared... what if he miss and i was too close for taking pictures.. :S. Later comes Synchronous and dual juggling.




...and the girl with amazing performance..



The venue.. inside Oslo Spectrum

Scultupres i liked..

I'm not a big fan of sculptures. Well, i'd enjoy a lot if i were, coz Oslo is a city of sculptures. There are sculptures Office place, subway terminals, important buildings, and yes,, parks are full of sculptures and Oslo is full of parks.


I am sure whoever went to Frogners park, must have seen this one, it was hard for me to shoot a photo of this kid, coz there was always someone enjoying her/his photo session with the kid. Expression is so real, as i see from the kids.


This one is near the Fort Akershus, but outside, in fact road side. This is the only sculpture around here.

lens awaken..

Every body saying nikon d90 has a good iso performance. well, i didn't try that yet.. so i wake my gears up and jumped on shooting.

This is the one Afzal had in the last birthday, when he went to summer camp. i was much confused about going there, finally i decided not to go.. well i think spending one week of holiday should be with friends. Anywayz never regretted for that.


this picture was taken around 12 at night. Only light coming through my window is from street lamp


well, this one is self lit.
both foto are at ISO 3200, F5.6

u cant be in a chocolate

'Muri'.. puffed rice..
This one is quite a common food in my country. Thats why i was so astonished when is saw it in a chocolate bar.

For me, i expect wafer.. nuts.. or nothing inside a chocolate bar. but 'Muri'?? funny :D

Sky kisses the earth..

I was lucky to be at Aker Brygge that day. Coz, the cloud was in that shape for a few minutes after i took some pictures,


Earlier it was not a good afternoon for me. Me with jobaer bro went to Mediaval Park ( i was looking to go there for a long time). Its a nice park with some buildings of mediaval age design and mediaval ruins, but rain could not wait to ruin our pleasant walk :( as soon we were at the middle of the park. well, we came back ri8 after... meet again Medieval Parken..


I heard an album of Prem Zoshua.. 'The sky kisses the earth', one of my fav instrumental composition, i got the name from there. Cool thing is there is a song titled as the album and another one titled the opposite.. 'the earth kisses the sky' :D

flowerss… shoot’em all

Back in my country, when i see some nice flowers, i get the pleasure of shooting them with my sony H50. Doing macros and finding interesting composition with flowers..

Here are lots… no tons of fllowers.. I think im not being so happing seeing flowers now a days. though i like shoot them anytime.

A macro.. target was to keep the inside in good focus.

More of composition try. background is in special attention.. at least i think

Well… this is one of the 20-30 shots i tried to catch a bee on the flower and failed. They just don’t get focused when i do macro. Rather petals get all the attention. Hard time with beeeees :S, thought they are calm enough to try a lot of shots. and finally they get shot :D

This is a nice(?) photo with my weird finger. i thought my fingers are nice :p. But if i could take something tiny and colorful instead of finger, it would have been a really nice one. Coz it got an interesting background

This is what i call TONS of flowers…

Taken from Oslo Town Hall, Close to my apartment

What a doggy

What i see here is a lot is something i am afraid of much.. DOGS.. :-S. I don’t know why barking dogs pulls the heart out of me.. :(

But good thing is not many barking dogs here. In fact not any. I hardly heard dogs making sounds here :P. And people, they have tons of different types of dogs. Sometimes they are quite big… and again scary to me. I wish i could take snap of some of those but i was afraid.. :P

Some dogs they look more like some other creature. I’ve seen some which has a face like monkey, monkey-dog or mondog or dogenky??

And a big one…

Summer rain

Oh.. this week and the last one we are facing a sweet(?) warm weather. Norwegian like this part of summer very much. But as long as i keep sweating, i don’t enjoy this 30 degree or more.

Jobaer bro bought a DSLR today. So, we are much excited, trying this and that. Shooting at unusual things.. Suddenly it started raining, surprisingly it was heavy rain and thundering sometimes. We got a crazy idea… lets go in the rain. Me & Jobaer ran to street :)

Ouuuchh… it was like someone beating me with ice cold stick. We couldn’t go far. returned to base. mission aborted :P

Forest trip in Oslo Nordmark

 

Torstein, my boss offered me to join him in a forest trip. Oslo Nordmarka, a forest north  to Oslo city. We took subway to Romsås. We reached a subway station that is inside a mountain, we could see the rocks inside.
   

We entered the forest, people from different places, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Canadian and ofcourse Norwegian :P. In the forest, it felt like i am in some forest in a mysterious island or Like tv series ‘Lost’. We were going uphill mostly & downhill sometimes.

 

After a hour walk we are near a very nice lake. We found a family. There camping beside the lake and fishing. I want to come here for something like that.

We keep walking & walking & walking.. My feet was hurting a little bit. But the place was so wonderful. I was enjoying a lot. We were looking for some cave. Its not so big. I thought it would be very big inside, dark passages. But its not. Or, may be those are inside water. Coz we see water at end of cave.

Well, i got some really nice macro shots this day.. im so happy :)
