February 2011 – We visited India yet again.  This was the 4th consecutive year starting from 2008 that we (Kaniz and I) visited India and like always we had a great time. 

India is so big and diverse that there is always something new to try out, some new place to visit each so it never gets boring.  Previously we had been to Kolkata and Chennai, this time we added Delhi to the trip and it really was a great choice as we had a fantastic time visiting Delhi and Agra.

Kick Ass Soundtrack Unequivocally Kicks Ass

  As much as I loved Kick Ass, it seems to be one of those polarizing films where some people love it and others hate it.  However, the soundtrack must surely have way more fans than haters.  The soundtrack/score is so good, I would be hard pressed to name another film in the past few years which to me is more memorable.  Everyone knows the big scenes from the movie – Big Daddy taking out a factory full of baddies, the big Hit Girl rescue scene, the jet pack scene and of course the insane scene where Hit girl goes to the apartment in the end.  None of those scenes would be as crazy great as they are without the absolutely perfect music/songs/score that accompanies them. As a matter of fact, even those parts of the score that were borrowed (from 28 days later and Sunshine) seem more appropriate here than in those original movies….  Amazing, but hey those were from John Murphy who does the music here as well, so its all good. Hard to pick out a few scenes from such an amazing soundtr

Have to give credit for Sony for their regular updates of the Nex series. First there was FW2 which fixed the battery issue, then the much awaited FW3 which gave the ability to customize buttons and now we get a whole bunch of picture filters and “peaking” function with FW4.   Already having a lot of fun with the creative styles, here are some samples:   Selective color – really fun feature indeed.     Yep, selective color is definitely my favorite amongst the styles.     More selective color   Using peaking     Ishad a great test subject as always   Nostalgic or Old Style I think     And some more selective color to finish things off….
