Something really special about it
Posted in Portrait on Jan 19th, 2010
When I had sacked-off and traded-in a couple of DX lenses [Nikkor 17-55 f/2.8 and the 18-200 VR], I bought a brand-new 24-70 f/2.8 Nano and a used 80-200 f/2.8 . The 24-70 performs well, as expected. But the lens that really shines out is this older 80-200. When I tested it at the shop, [...]

Cheesy, ear to ear one
Posted in Bangladesh, Black and White, Dhaka, Mannat, Portrait on Nov 25th, 2008
I was experimenting with two off-camera flash units placed low on the floor skimming the light of one off the ceramic tiles and one placed behind a white window curtain to diffuse it…. the “beep” from the remotely triggered flash units brought Mannat curiously checking what was going on. I turned and caught a quick [...]

Children from USTAV School Dhaka visit Radius Gallery to view the “Jhaal Muri” exhibition, and they all seem to have had a wonderful time.
