Mohonk

I should have carried my DSLR with me to this place, that's the first thing that came to my mind when i landed here. But then iPhone's camera turned out to be more than useful, i would have ended up as a photographer and missed the fun - if i had taken my DSLR.  Is this the best place to spend a couple of days ? I will say definitely yes because i haven't seen anything more beautiful -The mountain house faces a mountain / lake on one side and a deep valley on the other side.

So many things to do out there - Hiking, Biking, Tennis, Golf, Basket Ball, Pool table, Ping Pong and the list goes on. This resort ranks on Top 20 in the United States, visit this link http://www.mohonk.com/ for more details.

Lynfred Winery

 

Couple of pictures from the Lynfred Winery, a family run business @ Roselle, Illinois. The above bride and groom dressing on the wine bottles were very attractive in particular. There is a good selection of wines and they aren't expensive either, i mean prices ranges from 10$ to 100$.

There was a wine tasting option as well, 9 different types of wine for 7$. Not a bad deal if you want to get slightly drunk as all these wines had about 10 - 15 % of alcohol. If you want to spend a couple of hours around this area, without spending much - this is your place. There is a free cellar tour on the weekends, making the deal even more eventful.

Traffic Lights . .

Trying a low shutter speed (2 seconds) in shutter priority mode. I think i could have done slightly better with a tripod.

When I Get A DSLR

After 2 long years of researching about DSLRs, and finally getting to know what DSLR stands for(Digital Single Lens Reflex) i have(too) bought Nikon D5100 with a Nikkor 18-200 AF-S lens. As any DSLR buyer i dont have much of a clue on what this does, i see a lot of new words / abbreviations - aperture, shutter speed, focal length, ISO, metering, SWM and many more, most of them haven't gone into my head yet.

Stay tuned for more,more and more pictures.

Can i have a loan - To get into the Forbes billionaires list.

That's an eye catching advert for loans. Loans loans loans all over the place, common guys there is enough debt on everyone's head already. Don't make it worse. . . .
