Canon EOS M with the standard 20mm lens ...

Fuji x100s images from Lenasia

Fuji x-e1 + xc 50-230

Random shots from the Fuji X-E1 and xc50-230mm lens ...

Sigma 120-400 or 400 f/5.6?

Some images with both these lenses, I can't decide which one I want to keep, so I will keep both for now! :)

More Sigma 400mm f/5.6 APO Macro shots

I am starting to really like this lens...

All shots taken with the Nikon d90 Sigma 400mm f/5.6 APO MAcro lens, RAW edited in camera raw CS5.

Sigma 400mm apo macro f5.6

So not content with the 120-400mm Sigma lens, I got me a Sigma 400mm prime F5.6. So far, it looks promising!
I will have to test it out properly but in the meantime here are some images(manual focus was used for all these shots):

Sigma 120-400mm DG APO HSM lens

So, test shots from my new Sigma 120-400mm DG APO HSM lens. So far, I can't say that I am impressed but it could be more my lack of talent than any fault of the lens!
                                     

Random bird images and things ...

Some shots, mostly taken with my SIGMA 120-400 4.5-5.6 AOP HSM , last couple of shots are with the 18-200 siggy...

Eid-ul-Adha 2014

Eid al-Adha is an Islamic festival to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim (also known as Abraham) to follow Allah's (God's) command to sacrifice his son Ishmael.Just as he was to sacrifice his son, an angel stopped him and gave him a ram to sacrifice in place of his son. Muslims around the world observe this event.

The underlying importance of this festival is the spirit of sacrifice (qurbani) in memory of Abraham's great act of faith many centuries ago.

Time...

When you wake up in the morning, do not expect to see the evening. Live as if today is all that you have got. Yesterday had passed with all its good and evil, while tomorrow has not arrived yet. Let the span of your life be but one day, as if you were born in it and will die at its end. With this attitude, you will not be caught between an obsession over the past, with all its anxieties, and the hopes of the future, with all its uncertainties.

Live for today and during this day you should pray with a wakeful heart, recite the Qur'an with deep understanding and remember Allah with sincerity. During this day you should strike balance between your affairs, get satisfied with your allotted portion, and be concerned with your appearance and health.

Live today free from sorrow, bother, anger, jealousy, or malice. Organize the hours of this day, so that you make years out of minutes and months out of seconds. Seek forgiveness from your Lord, remember Him, prepare for the final parting from this world, and live today happily and in peace. Be content with your sustenance, your wife, your children, your work, your house and your life.

{So hold that which I have given thee, and be among the thankful.} (Al-A`raf 7: 144)
