The MerLion in pale green lights and the dense blue sky in Singapore..!

The Merlion against the dense blue sky from my Nikon FM10(manualSLR)
There was pale green lights embracing the MERLION statue in Singapore in that night of the midsummer ,against the dense blue sky of the night...!The distant lights looked like the stars and the glittering lights in the bottom of the Lion resembled waves in the moonlit sea of emeralds...!The shades in the linings enhanced the symmetry of the curves and made the shape brighter and more beautiful .! ( I took it all in my manual Nikon FM10 in roll films in that night of that midsummer)

The King disguised as a slave or the sighs from the stable...!!

The King in disguise, a story performed in the classical  style
In the Vedic ( period of Vedas in India) tradition of INDIA, there is a story of a great King called NALA, means a man of quality and romance, who had met with a chance to disguise himself as a slave in another kingdom ,due to some dramatic situations caused by an interference of viciousness during his good realm as a virtuous King.During the time of disguise he served another king as a horseman and spent the nights in the stable with sighs recalling his lost kingdom and the beloved queen who had remained away from him, unknowingly about the slave like status of her husband . The image displayed here embodies the King in disguise lamenting upon his loneliness in the stables of another kingdom as a horseman under the subdued conditions of  laboriousness and in loving memory of his queen away from him...The hero ,the king appears in dark bluish costumes on the stage is called BAHUKA,the horseman ,and the sequence is from the classical dance drama form of KATHAKALI of the Southern India ( the shot was taken in roll films in my NIKON FM 10 SLR in 2003).

The Fruits in Black and White in Roll-Films

It was a decade ago that I shot these fruits in Black and White roll -films in my manual MINOLTA 7sII Camera. Now we have enough choices in the Digital Cams to transform the colors of an image at any range of tones,shades or tints using the filter-options and applications with different software. But the efforts we put in while taking images in Black and White using the roll-films in a Manual SLR Camera is quite different and difficult in terms of the outputs we get through each exposure with different speed and opening so as to get a desired result...:
So I think that these Fruits are Sweeter than the Fruits we get through the Digital Color Processing Techniques available now easily in the digital imaging!
