some macros with sigma 105mm

Recently I purchased a Sigma 105mm f2.8 EX Macro lens. I wanted to buy this lens for a long. This is a beautiful lens with an excellent sharpness and great Depth of Field (DoF). Sharing first few shots I took with this lens.

sunset on nashik-pune highway

Yesterday we were returning from Nashik to Pune late afternoon. After Ghargaon, next to newly opened Kamat Hotel, I stopped my car to capture this stunning Sunset.

view of Vaitarna Dam backwaters from Zarwad Village

These are from my old archives. All photos are taken with film camera Nikon F55 and Nikkor 28-80 kit lens.
The village is exactly at the backwaters of Vaitarna dam, near nashik. By road one can reach this village, from Trimbakeshwar. From Mumbai-Agra highway, near ghoti, one has to cross the Vatiarna Dam on a raft and then one can reach this village. Before construction of Vaitarna Dam, this village was the main Market place. After the Dam was built the market place was shifted to Ghoti and all the development in this region was stopped. My friend , who is in the business of Outdoor advertising in Nashik, purchased a farm land in this village. The photos are taken from her Farm Land. After she started developing the farm, she did rigorous with the government authorities and some developments were done in the village, including a good Tar Road, ST Bus was started to this village after more than 12 years.

I am sharing few photos from this location. please provide your comments.
