me & myself

Its quite astonishing to see quite traffic flow in my blog. I wonder how people land on my page when i haven posted link on outside world expect my facebook profile page or in turn asked any one to see my blog, but any ways i write for my self.
          One of my friend is quite a geek, human behaviour and relation expert, he once gave me a good advice, A way to keep occupied when things are not running fine. Instead of getting wasted boozing, locking up and living alone with loud music, gaming all time, load of movies etc etc out of many advice's one effective suggestion was to "write things what ever you feel about you on what ever with pen on dairy, scribble pad or laptop. Dont worry if some one reads and laugh, let them go to hell, all it makes is to realise you, your present sense and it helps in evaluating yourself. i bet you".  Damn he was right that makes real sense, a person can see himself 360 deg and he can understand his present state. well then i feel i am in a need of doing some writing which is in sense keeping up this blog, has i have all the above symptoms of getting wasted.
            Well this year 2012 was quite fine, happened to be best year. there was lots of odds then downs thats quite sweet, I learnt lot of valuable things which i had to learnt way before. but i am keeping my spirit saying better late then never.

well signing off....
         

  

That's PHOTOSHOP

The other day i was messing around with photoshop on one of my portrait image. When finished the layers showcased the process it took to finish. Well am not professional but bit skilled and here is the AV i did that deplicates the process.

PS: This is just for fun.

Sher-lock

I usually name my post at end after writing, same goes now too. I spent most of time watching Sherlock a TV series which is being aired on BBC one. I am great fan of Sherlock Holmes and its creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,  i grown watching or reading in either ways. but this was quite interesting because this Sherlock is a updated one 21st century consultant detective (in his words "only one in this world invented by me") he uses modern technology to solve the crime. I became a great fan of  Benedict Cumberbatch who stars as Sherlock  he is awesome. In this version Sherlock owns a website the science of deduction and his friend "Dr. john Watson" personal blog can check those all in real.

                          Am really excited to see the one in real. well this sort of things really make me happy. The things which keep me interested is fiction, technology, deception, futuristic, brilliance etc. If Sherlock  existed in real then his IQ would be unmatched. 

                    The way Education system in India implemented creates a bunch of hypes. there can never be a word of innovation, entrepreneurship. One has to go rouge daring everything to achieve different.     

Collage

The other day, i was messing around with my lappy formatting and arranging things.
          Few 5 years back the lane when the computers costed high, @ that time having 320 gigs of hard disk was the real luxury any one can afford. I remember my friend used to say "my friend have got a high end computer with pentinum 4 processor 21 inch CRT monitor 320 gigs of hard disk space, that guy keeps stuffs ranging from different kinds of movies, songs, games etc. its a huge collection cant find any thing missing".  Back now a days a 320 gigs means nothing, according to me its nothing but a tiny sack.
        Now a days, day by day files are getting bigger, HD,blue ray sizes are huge. but ironically pic images are also getting heavier. My sony cybershot every images weighs 5-10mb, Every time i take it out for capturing for function or event then there will be at least 60 -70 images and the whole takes gbs of memory.
       while arranging i faced the same annoying thing where i couldn't afford space to transfer pics from my camera to the hard disk, as its over loaded though i have kept a dedicated drive especially for images of 25gb its been loaded by images (holy crap images filling the entire partition).
       Now i am out of option and cant afford to loose the files or no room on hdd partition, so now decided to burn it on blank dvd's, because as of now i cant afford external hdd. so searched for few good deals of blank dvd pack on ebay and ordered it, waiting for its shipment.
         Mean while i came up with the idea of picking few best images of all those folders and collaging it. Its really fun as it gives the highlight of whats there (editors point of view). But for me it highlights the best moments of my life. Its really fun to collage, here what i got collaging.

  
                        

project carnival 2k12

Ever since childhood i was very much interested in photography, according to me photography mean "capturing real time instances for life time ever". It all started when my aunt gifted me a Kodak film roll camera. Ever since i have handled devices with cutting edge technology, thus pulling deep making my most favorite Hobbie.

                                     
                 
                    Recently in my CS branch we hosted a farewell party. I planned myself to capture this event in a bit professional way ( sorta experiment). I geared up with the resources i can afford at that time. Practically resources was too limited and for sure i can no way cope with the oncoming requirements. instead it was just make over. Any ways we managed to come up with two cameras (thanks for ujwal 2nd year for Panasonic hd camera). I knew this couldn't work out well as these two cameras are far apart in terms of specification and resolution. Sony seems to capture home video type low resolution amateur video while Panasonic had a way beyond resolution with clear picture with which you can watch HD videos on your home HD TV.
      So in order to use resources well i planned up to use both of these in some what better way. I placed Panasonic HD camera to shoot main event on stage while to use sony handy-cam to capture behind the scene events, audian's etc, well now settled with those cameras. Now needed a tripod ie, a stand that is used to place cameras and shoot continuous shot. This tripod is not an ordinary one it ways back costing more then a digital camera it costs around 8 to 10k. Thanks to rashmi, She arranged bringing one on rent.
        With 30k panasonic camera, 18k  sony handycam, 8k sony cybershot, 8k tripod,  thats make total of  64k equipments, with which i needed to accomplish the planned task.
             Professionals use audio equipments such as wire less MIC or wired MIC sometimes which will be placed in various places to capture speaker as well as audian's voices over time which will be clubbed to get the finished form. But i wasn't able to afford one. So i did shooting without the aid of one. prepared to obtain video with much distortion and noice.
       
On Farewell Day:-

                                     
As planned before i was able to shoot event using those equipment and everything went right. Sony handy cam was given to one of the junior to shoot. He did decent side capturing, while panasonic HD camera was handled by me and i shot from beginning to end, though i found bit confused to handle at first, i managed to make over and cope with the equipment and did a finest shoot. At first we found an issue where we found difficulty in unfolding tripod, later some how unfolded after trial and errors. and when program started we found that the camera was crippling and was not tightly adjusted to tripod, This was bit challenging because we had to fix the problem while camera was rolling, this was bit tricky because camera used to shake and rotate while tighting the nut, this may lead to loosing the event and it will be a blow as there is no retake and i was in no way prepared to loose any of the event, by the expertise of ujwal this problem was fixed with minor distortion which was later negotiated in post ediiting. I also found difficulty in placing camera in front of stage, has i had no clear idea in what distance it needed to be placed, the problem was not with zoom has the camera was equipped with 26x zoom with which i can even shoot dust on a screen but the problem was with zoom out or a wide angle of the stage. If i place in front of the i couldn't cover wide angle shot, but has i dint had audio equipments i could capture voice of the speaker on stage with less noise from crowd has it is bit far from crowd but nearest to the speaker.but if i had went back there i could cover whole stage in wide angle shot but has it was in between crowds there was more possibility of voice recording would be lower of the speaker and filled with crowd noise (later in post editing i found out that crowd voice was too high and it was crossing the minimum threshold level which used to make buzz noise when play backed) there was also possibility of my voice being recorded (it happened many times) has i was behind the camera and much louder has i stand behind the camera very closer nearer to inbuilt mic system. All these factor would ruin the video and it may seems random shot, just an amateur video. editing would take lot of work to rectify these ( I will write about my efforts to rectify sound distortion in later pages) .
              Camera placement became a headache as i needed  to shift depending on scenes, some used to stand in very front while some at back, some times placement was based on the audians view, as i was blocking there view standing at center. few times i moved tripod to cope but wasn't rectified and i ignored there pleas.
              Rest apart was a piece of cake but physically challenging has i had to stand whole day from morning to evening. My legs where really falling. I was literally tired when i went back home. In certain events like "minute to win it" i kept camera in a wide angle covering whole table and kept it to roll and went back and sat behind but this didn't paved much.

sensless post:-)

I am something, but at the same time am nothing.. Its been a while i wrote last blog post. seriously i sat so many times to write something but at end i scrambled it. yes this is what i am, this year just in 2 months i gone through out lot of odds and cons a total slug.
              I have some plans and bledy fate has some plans. I am damn confused about whatsoever and i will not give a shit!
              well coming back! it wasnt a month planned of, at the same time it was not so bad. blog is public and i cant pen whatever to core, so need to cut where ever off limits. but its quite interesting place to share pics, events as such thats quite interesting. well there was, but i felt at end its not kinda writable.

Thinks happens in swift and when you are very happy of it, changes its persistence to sad very quickly thats what life is about. I am not cool and i dont pretend to be but i try to be.
                       Time is the kingpin, its the one that can make a person whatsoever he can be acceptable and with fate unacceptable too. and in the mean time the real sense of people, that mean the real faces of people gets published. In recent times i have a worst possible experience of it, I have seen that. People with fake faces doesnt lost longs time is the one that unfolds their mask. it doesnt bother you when not so imp person falls in that list. but when your close friend and one you love falls in that list it tampers your mind for sure. fortunately i had to face in both those criteria's (i will not talk much on it) bledy  morons :-) rot in hell!!
          I found one funny thing for sure when you are intoxicated it  feels effortless to write something(no creative problems) flows as a water. but when you are as usual i cant write a line. so many times i have slept thinking what the hell to write.
          Before ending this sense less whatsoever talk, i like to tell one thing  " Listen I am Akash, I love what i am, No one can be me or No one can replace me, I don't give shit for what ever people talk of me, I value the one who r with me and at the same time i don't want to see those faces one who back stabs me, finally i don't care for no one. This is me and what i am and i will be....".
                         

First Experience in "namma metro"

Continuation from previous post

At almost 7.45AM we reached metro station in MG road. opposite to our expectations whole station was empty with few passangers countable.
     Well quite there was a security check at MG road station, the security personal checked with metal detector and he even asked me to empty my pockets to show him my 2 cell phones and 2 cameras. I felt little awkward because if this guy checks in detail similar to airport authorities, if  there is a huge rush how they can possibly handle. but my expectations came false when returning from   Baiyyappanahalli (end destination) there was no security check at all. but i dont know why they have increased the security check in MG road, because there was a x ray luggage scanner similar to one we find in airport. Though the station is big and has got whole area monitored inch to inch by cctv's, escalators, lift, fine finished flooring, i found out that it misses the common ammunities such as a 'wash room'. 'photography' is prohibited but i defyd the rule as am "indian" and i did my bit violating.

Left is in-way(green) access doors and right one(red) is exit way 

in way access

Escalator

 The train as of now, travells from MG road to Byappahalli. it takes hardly 10 mins, same by bus it takes hrs together. The cost is 15rs/person. only one side ticket is available.
                  Ticket is a digital chip encoded black plastic token(coin).

Coin

While Entering we have to keep that coin on the space above access doors, once you keep it opens and you have to take coin with you untill ride ends at the end, during exits from the station you have to drop the coin like "hundi" in temple to get exit.my belief is if am travelling lesser distance coin should be dropped in that particular station it self, else it doesn't gives exit i guess.. what the fish. who knows what to do if i miss station and jumps on next.  coin on purchase need to be accessed within 20mins of your purchase.

                 Coming to train, there's trains running every 10 mins so no need to wait longer, on time reach and no delays. Train doors open and close within approx 30 to 35 sec in between which commuters has to board or un-board the train. Train is a/c fitted and on board announcement system and display systems assisting about the stop station and instructions.

Train is fitted with state of the art technology with advanced security systems and communication system. each coach is fitted with cctv's. with one row of seat, it is especially made for standing commuters. due to interlocking of doors and a/c coach the coach will be less in noise. with large window panes it is best to have exterior view.

2012 wishes

Rout map

it was pleasant travel,.. i liked it, when i reached byapnahalli we went out to have the glimpse of undergoing projects of metro for extension of services.

As i said before there were no security check at byappanahalli, we took ticket and went back. I noticed that the fellow travellers where same as us, who just came to experience the ride..

           we waited for few mins and the train arrived as promised.

Conclusion:"Namma Metro" is awesome and better way of transport to reach destination on time.

Stay tuned..
