Pavan Kaul's Images: AMBROSIA
"Jonathan"
Posted by Pavan Kaul (Mumbai, India) on 15 April 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
A pagan soul taking flight...
A film maker from India who has keenly nurtured his passion for photography since adolescence.
'AMBROSIA' is what I have named this photoblog, since 'creative expression' is the nectar that nourishes the soul of all creative artists. One can spend a lifetime taking pictures which may eventually add up to just a few hours, but come to think of it, that may just be the sum total of ones life. A camera as a companion is an absolute must..be it movie, or still."

Not sure about this one Pavan, I can sort of see what you tried to purvey but it makes my eyes dazzle a little, I would have preferred to see the main subject (the bird) a little more in focus (sorry)

@P J W Miller: In fact I made a careful choice of a long lens, slow shutter and panned the camera with the bird, the auto focus switched off, to achieve this surreal image:)
Standley from Carquefou, France
I like the blur here. It makes the picture looking like a painting. Beautiful!

@Standley: Thank you! Bang on with the way I visualized it :)
Denise from Perry, United States
This shot reminds me of thee book Jonathon Livingston Seagull, are you familiar with it? Or is this perhaps the reason you have given it this titie?

@Denise: Denise the book Jonathon Livingston Seagull remains one of my absolute favorites and you guessed right, was the reason for the title :)
This solo flight, soaring and aspirational reminded me of Jonathon and the spirit he was imbued with.

Denise beat me to it, Pavan. Your title took me there immediately. Neat sense of the bird's motion in flight

@EYES WIDE SHUT: Thank you Paul! You should know since you do a fair bit of soaring yourself :)
@Veronelle: Thank you.

@eva: Thank you for noticing the details
@mohkum: Thank You Mohkum.
@Steve Rice: Mine too Steve. I guess photography like several other creative pursuits requires of us to soar alone :)
Ajay from Pune, India
The spread of the wings are so smooth creating a amazing flow of the whole body. Amazing how you have found this bird and that too in his best flight action.

@Ajay: Well..it took some patience and tracking not to mention trying to out guess the movements of 'Jonathan'...Thank you Ajay..not just for the comment but for reading this 'favorite image' of mine so sincerely and aptly:)

A strange show, no lack of creativity and abstraction. A good experiment.
