Your Bio
Seagull Walk, Singapore
Hello! I have been an avid photographer for many years but I never seem to have the time to truly satisfy my passion. I started down this hobby with my first Canon SLR when I was 18. I've retained my Canon gear for sentimental reasons but have firmly left my film days behind.
My shooting peaked when my daugher was born in 1999 and shortly after, like many new young families, I moved back into the comfort zone of point & shoot cameras for their size and convenience.
My interest was revived when my son was born in June 2006 and in particular when I looked back on the real photos taken of my daughter with my SLR when she was born and compared them to the flat photos taken of my newborn son with normal compact cameras. I knew then that I had to get a decent camera again or my son will be up in arms in a few years. After much hands-on trials and comparisons, I chose Nikon over Canon this time because of what I felt was the better feel of the Nikon digital images and the perfect ergonomics of the D200 in my hands. And so the hobby continues again today...
Work (I'm a Partner and Head of the Technology Media and Telecoms practice at Rajah & Tann LLP, Singapore - http://www.rajahtann.com ) takes up most of my waking hours, but the advantage of being in a specialist area such as ICT policy and regulations is that the work allows me the advantage of travelling to many fascinating countries including Mongolia, Lesotho, Bhutan, Afghanistan, Gibraltar, St. Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago as well as almost all nations in the Asia Pacific region. I have, in between my work schedules, tried to capture the beauty of some of these countries in the photos on this site.
I am currently in the process of setting up my galleries. Please do visit the galleries if you have the time and please leave comments on the page or to by e-mail at rajeshsreenivasan@mac.com. Thanks and happy viewing!

Nikon D600 (Wow!)
Olympus E-P3 (My first foray into the Micro 4/3 realm and liking it)
Zooms
Nikkor 12mm-24mm f/4.0 (Nice to have - but my most underutilised lens)
Nikkor 17mm-55mm f/2.8 (Excellent sharpness, the king of DX wide zooms)
Nikkor 70mm-200mm VR f/2.8 (Love this lens for telephoto shots to portraits - brutally sharp in some cases for portraits)
Nikkor 24mm-120mm VR f/4 (The FX workhorse. My stalwart on the D600)
Nikkor 18mm-200mm VR f/3.5-5.6 (My most used lens on DX - for general shooting and travel - very underrated)
Sigma 50mm-500mm f/4.0-6.3 (My telephoto - was great for the Singapore F1 Grand Prix)
Primes - Autofocus
Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8 Fisheye (Very fun lens - small and mind bending)
Nikkor 20mm f/2.8 (ultra wide - need to master this lens)
Sigma 30mm f/1.4 (fantastic bokeh, great for portraits, focusing is a real problem though)
Nikkor 35mm f/2 (sharp and great depth of field - my favourite prime almost always on the D90)
Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 (not used much - might sell off soon)
Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 (wow wow wow ... my magic portraits lens ... priceless family photos taken with this baby)
Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 VR Micro (bought but rarely used ... need to get more macro done..if only I can find the time)
Primes - Manual Focus
Nippon Kogaku Nikkor-S 50mm 1.4 (magic lens... soft yet sharp...hard to describe, got to see the pics taken with it to understand.)

Lensbaby 2.0 and macro lenses (fun toy...nuff said)
