Nagarjuna Sagar Dam [HDR], originally uploaded by sanyam.
The sight was grand with 22 out of 26 gates being open. The banks became beaches all of a sudden with hundreds of local people flocking to get a closer view.

It was so misty even at such a distance that i had to wipe the lens filter after every shot.

Sunset @ Lake Washington, originally uploaded by sanyam.

Sitting by the lake can be so relaxing, still remember the good’ol days back in Bhopal. After every major exam got over, we (school friends) would all go and sit by the lake for an hour and watch sunset.

Bhopal Lake isnt this Gorgeous but yeah it scores much above the Hussainsagar Pond in Hyderabad.

This has been my wallpaper for quite sometime, shot from a lake side park in Kirkland and processed as an HDR with variably exposed images from a single RAW file. This was not the shot of the day and I think other shots came out better than this, but there’s something in this image which catches the moment. Specially the girl and her mother sitting calmly and watching the far end.
