  14. drkrishi Says:

    It was nice to hear from you. Thanks a lot for visiting my site. Great to know that you too are a physician. My blog is one way of teaching photography. I mention how I took photograph along with tidbits on the subject at hand. Also if you check larger version of the photos by clicking on them you can find out detailed information on the parameters I used to take the photograph. Buy a nice cheap camera and start using it and that is the best way to start learning.

    If you have any question please feel free to ask

    Any new Pro DSLRs from Canon coming in next few months?

  25. drkrishi Says:

    It’s claimed the new 1 series camera in 2011 will be a 1D4 replacement and not a new 1Ds. Full frame and slightly lower mega pixels (15). 5D Mark III saying it would be slightly higher megapixel than the current 21mp, and offer an AF system in line with the 7D. All these from Canon will be in the second half of 2011.

    Hi Sir,

    how are you?
    I wanted an information. Is there any museum on insects in your area or in your surroundings? We are planning for a trip with PU students, so if you know about it kindly inform about the same.

    regards,
    pavan

    i like your site very much

  36. Krishna Mohan Says:

    Dear Pavan,
    There are no Museum on insects nearby. In fact the only museum we have nearby here is in Mangalore. Called Bejai Museum (Seemanthi Bai Government Museum) is the only museum of city and links contemporary Indian history with the 16th century. It is named after the mother Seemanthi Bai of an officer V.R. Mirajkar of British Raj.

    Through the collections of ancient and foreign coins, some belonging to British East India Company and Pakistan, and stylish paintings among others the museum provides a immense knowledge about the Indian history and heritage. This museum is very valuable for the researches as it houses an asset of metallic icons, statues, lamps and inscriptions made out of copper. Copper inscription containing the verses of Keladi Venkatappa Nayaka, dating back to 1624 AD is the one major draw here.
