Hello Friends
About me
I am Arvinder Singh,
Age - doesn't matter (as long as I am young at heart.);)
Passion: Photography, traveling
Profession: I started off as a Commercial Artist (doing some freelance jobs), but finally ended up as Electronics Engineer (I know these are two extremes) but this is what I am today - a VLSI design engineer.
(forget about this engineering thing I mentioned ..... I am very poor at that)

Photography and me :)
Ah!! Photography, well the passion for photography was always there since childhood but, it actually overpowered me some 4 yrs ago when I got my first Digital camera Canon S1 IS.
Soon within 6 months I upgraded to Canon S2 IS (attracted by 12x optical zoom and 0cm Macro focusing distance), this camera served me faithfully for more then 3 years, before breaking down one day in the battle field (Taking macro flower shots at Lodhi Garden in 2008)
After 2 years use of S2 IS, I realize that P'n'S cameras do have some limitations, so the urge for upgrading started budding within.
For more then a year I saved for the Bike and finally I had to make a choice out of "Bike" and "DSLR", well - I still don't have a bike (Re-saving now).
The passion for photography was higher so I got Canon 40D in Jan 2008.
(I got it from US through a friend)
I have been upgrading cameras fast then the learning I do with it, I must say the work I do keep me busy (usually on weekends also) so I get less time for practice.

enough of me ..... lets move ahead....

What I shoot
I do not concentrate on one particular form of photography, except for studio I try whatever comes my way like portraits, architecture, flowers, street photography.

Photography Club
I am also member of Delhi's one of the biggest off-line photography club, known by the name DFC on Flicker. (www.flickr.com/groups/dfc)

My gear
Canon 40D (body)
Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OIS
Canon 50mm f/1.8 II
Vivtar Tripod
Lowepro Backpack.
(+ a sling bag)


here are the three shots.
