A Landmark Achievement

How cheap is it to boast about the hits on one's blog -- duh.. like I give a damn!

My photoblog - A View To Kill - finally crossed the 10000 hits mark . It started on our Pune journey in December '04. I clicked many snaps with Jha's Canon Powershot S1. Pretty soon the photography fever gripped me big time! I started the photoblog on 7th April, 2005 and till date it has about 190 pictures. I was using Jha's camera till recently, then I bought myself a Panasonic DMC Lumix FZ-20. Both the cameras are really very sophisticated pieces of machinery and have satisfied me immensely.

My skills have shown considerable improvement too. The genuine interest in the art drew me to read online tutorials, see other's work and appreciate the fundamentals of photography. While I have experimented a lot with my camera in my room, I enjoy outdoors much more. Partly because, I don't have any lighting equipments or many interesting subjects to shoot indoors. I still feel I've covered a very small area, which I good because this feeling always keeps me on the heels for interesting pics.

Ah.. now, the trick to get there - I have reduced the visibility on the photoblog to just one day per page. So if someone browses through the pictures, that many hits are added to the count . And changing my homepage URL at orkut from this blog to my photoblog has contributed decently.

Finally, if you haven't already paid a click - its the best time to browse through my pictures and comment too, if you feel like it. Appreciation is welcomed & criticism is invited.
