PHOTO OF THE DAY
So today I was wandering in my terrace and I heard a diffrent sound of bird which is rare in my surroundings. It was diffrent from that I hear of sparrow and crows. So I looked around and saw this bird on the pole of the fence around my home. It stayed there for few minutes and I thought to take the picture from a closeup view and went downstairs near it but unfortunately it had flown away.....

My Equipments:
Well I shoot Nikon. I have 2 semi professional bodies D7000 and d200. I usually use the D7000 and it is always with me. I rarely use the D200 if I have to attend any programs or games and have to get some wide shots. Talking about the lens, I have a wide angle lens of SIGMA 10-20 mm, f4-5.6. Nikkor 50mm f1.8 one of my favorite. And finally the giant 70-200mm f 2.8 I repeat again 2.8...... This lens is always attached to my d7000 in rare case only I take it off. A great lens with great optical performance. Simply love it. So I do need to fill up the gap betn 20 and 70mm. Hmmmmm..... nikkor 24-70 mm f2.8 is in my wishlist. And maybe 2 SB700 flashguns, and mayb nikon 400mm 2.8.......hehehehhehe. For the camera bag i have Lowepro inverse AW200. I actually bought it before I had the 70-200 lens so I do need a new backpack for my equipment.

PHOTO OF THE DAY...
Students of Thapathali college protesting in road due to internal affairs in college.
Shouldnt it be a "Pen" instead of "brick"??
Hey!! hey!!! stop the scooter......
Ready to strike at the scooter......
Today on my way to Lagankhel I had to stop in Maitighar because there was a roadblock. I heard some voice chanting some slogans. I at first thought it must be a big rally or something. I parked my bike with a friend and took out my camera and went to see what it was. I was amazed to see the scene there. Few so called "students" carrying stones and a flag of Nepali Congress Party was blocking the road. They were chanting slogans against the student union of the college. I thought why do they have to come to the road??? Can't they do it inside the college???? Oh......its Nepal.....I said to myself and then went to my destination......

Image source: Jimmy Wixtrom
Moments after his historic win in the men’s 200m at the London Olympics, Bolt strolled past the track-side pit of sports photographers and snatched a Nikon D4 from pro snapper Jimmy Wixtrom(seen grinning in the image above).
Wixtrom, who shoots for Aftonbladet, Scandinavia’s largest newspaper, happily handed over his D4 and watched as Bolt snapped photos of fellow Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake and of the track-side photographers, themselves.
