Another Gallery of Holiday Cheer!

The Joy continues!

In the Gallery- A sampling of festive holiday lights captured near my home in Upstate NY over the past week or so.

This season, I've been shooting nighttime HDR in an attempt to capture the full color and detail of a small portion of this annual luminous transformation.

Here are some earlier images: Holiday lights in HDR

This seems to be the one time of the year that we open ourselves to the ideas that there should be more humanity in this world. Wouldn't it be great to have that spirit with us every moment of every day throughout the year!

May the season fill us with goodness, an appreciation for all life and openness to all cultures. May it bring sanity back into our thinking and love into our hearts.

Happy Holidays! …And PEACE to everyone, everywhere!

And buy my book as a great holiday gift!

The Library Journal named it a Best Book for 2011. Best Books 2011: Rethinking Digital Photography

"Rethinking Digital Photography - Making & Using Traditional & Contemporary Photo Tools"

BUY the book at Amazon, Barnes and Noble in the USA, Chapters/Indigo in Canada and other fine book stores in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and other countries worldwide.

"There is a retro trend evident in current fashion, in the renewed interest in vinyl records, and in smartphone apps that take crisp, high-resolution digital images that look like they were taken with a Brownie box camera and developed in a darkroom. This book is just the thing for retro camera app devotees who want to go a step or two further. Fine-art photographer Neel presents all manner of camera equipment alteration projects, alternative processes, and playful photographic tricks, often combining digital and analog processes. This is a modern guide that incorporates older tools with great creative effect." - Library Journal 12/11

These are all unique shots. Creativity has no limitations. Inspired by such uniqueness of this kind of art form, I have just beginning to experiment. I have been learning a lot from the net and thankful to those who share the technique. My recent shots are displayed in my website www.wingsofpassion.org. I would be bringing in more variety. I personally believe this art form can have more variation with use of photoshop.
I would also like to share that I do practice another form of abstract photography i.e. water drop or water splash photography. I have even developed a complete kit to facilitate this art form. Samples shots are also displayed in my website. Thanks.
