It is not easy to capture a ‘Kalam’ on Camera…… You’ve done a wonderful job!
I also tried to capture it on my camera, though it is not as magnificent as yours, here is the link (in case you missed it) http://lensandaperture.blogspot.in/2012/01/kalamezhuthu.html
Lovely Perspective Joshi!
I always love seeing photos of artists at work. This – is exceptional!!!
Just like Mandala making with coloured sands, this looks to require lots of talent, the ability to take the pain of bending over continuously for a long time, on the floor, and just sheer determination. What I can see tells me it is worth the effort! Good pic joshi.
good POV
SO talented!!!
