The Shifting Goalpost

Just when you think what more can be done - you come across a new concept and then you think why it took so long to be discovered. HDRI is a technique to combine highlights and/or shadows from a set of photographs taken at different exposure settings. The results can be stunning and I want to try it out soon.

There is a good introduction to HDR at the dPS (digital Photography School) site. And if you want to have a look at some amazing HDR images visit http://stuckincustoms.com/.

Finally I managed to make some time from the totally busy days and got Advaita’s first video uploaded. It is just over 3 minutes and you have to watch the clip to see how nappy changing, bathing, and dressing up is possible in 3 minutes.

It has been a roller coaster ride for the last few weeks. I cannot describe the anxiety when the predicted due date of Advaita’s arrival, came and passed without any signs whatsoever. But exactly after a week, he came and has brought with him unlimited joy and happiness for me and Mili.

Though both of us were all ready for months before the birth and even after going through the labour for number of hours on the day of birth, we were stunned on actually seeing Advaita for the first time immediately after he was delivered. And that moment will remain etched in our minds forever.

And when the anxiety of birth is over, it is now anxiety about whether you are doing the right thing - are you holding him correctly?, is this normal?, is that normal?, do all babies have this issue?, do all parents have this issue?, is it alright if he does that?, and so on and on. And I think this will go on now for years to come.

Welcome to parenthood!!!
